Church Furnishings,
Pews, and Chairs
In years past, most church furnishings consisted of pews in
the sanctuary, tables and folding chairs in the Sunday school
classes and fellowship hall, and that was all. More recently,
many churches have begun to use multi-purpose rooms for many
functions, including worship, or to install movable seating in
the sanctuary to give greater flexibility. Classroom furnishings
also vary a lot more than they used to.
To assist you in furniture selection, Akers CBS has listed below
several companies that provide various furnishings and related
services. Many of these firms we have worked with, some we have
not. We have no business arrangement with any of them, and they
are listed in no particular order. Click on the company name
to be taken directly to their website.
As in everything, furniture quality varies greatly. Be sure
and check references of the companies you are interested in,
and in the case of pews or theater seats, visit an installation
or two to check and see if it is what you need. Some of the companies
listed will provide a sample chair, most of the pew providers
have representatives who will meet with you and show samples
and pictures of their products. Pew stain colors and fabrics
should be evaluated by your architect/interior designer for coordination
with other elements in the interior design.
Pew arrangement is usually part of architectural design services,
but if you are replacing the pews in an existing building, the
manufacturer will often do the layout. Be sure and check to see
if there is an extra cost for other services, such as layout,
delivery, and installation, or if those are included in the price
of the pews.
The following
manufacture and sell pews and pulpit/chancel furniture. Most
also handle movable/stackable chairs, either steel frame or
wooden "pew
chairs."
The two firms below provide movable seating, stacking chairs,
etc. The first one also specializes in theater-style fixed seating
for sanctuaries and assembly rooms.
