– Design…..pews generally look better in traditional buildings
-Architectural Design…..pews generally look better in traditional buildings
-Usage…… for maximum capacity, pews offer the only “continuous” seating surface

-Cost………for mid range church seating budgets                                                 

Auditorium SeatsThose wanting these seats are looking for:                                                       –

-Architectural Design….almost always used with contemporary building designs
-Usage…….allows for a radius layout, gravity lift seats 
-Cost……….for higher range church budgets
