Church, Community Center and Civic Furniture

The modern church lobby is a coffee shop. The fellowship hall is a banquet room. The community center is all three on different days of the week. These rooms get heavy use from volunteers who move the furniture constantly, on budgets that have to last fifteen years.

We furnish them out of the same commercial line we sell to restaurants and hotels — which is usually what the building committee is picturing anyway.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have chairs that stack and store?

Yes. Several families stack, and stacking carts are available so volunteers can move a room quickly.

Can you work within a building-committee budget?

Your rep will show you where the line has value options and where it is worth spending — frames and finishes can be mixed to hit a number.

Do you sell direct to a church?

No. We sell through sales representatives to businesses, designers and purchasing firms. Your rep will handle the order and can work with your contractor or designer.
