Old, worn out pews may
cause your parishioners to look for another church. If your parish is
low on funds, however, you probably don't have the luxury of spending
for new ones so you may just need to stick it out. Luckily, there are
ways for you to save money when buying pews.
One good tip is to skip
the custom length pews and just go for standard length pews. Custom
length pews are generally more expensive and it will just give you a
couple of inches more than the standard version, so in the long run
it won't really add much. Another good way to save money when buying
new church pews is by picking stock fabrics.
While style is important,
picking a specific shade for your pew may take up a lot of time and
money; it might be best to just stick with a neutral color. You can
also save money by comparing the prices of pews online. Several
companies specialize in church furniture so you can do some cross
shopping to find out who will give you a better price—just make
sure you pay attention to the craftsmanship so you'll know that you
are getting a high-quality product.
