If you are not familiar with Woerner Morgan, their furniture is considered to be the best church furniture available, bar none. It holds up for years. Their furniture is made from durable oak and each piece is handcrafted. I would like to cover a few points on each of these three chairs.

• Woerner 599 Celebrant Chair (found here) - This oak chair has a very modern look to it. What the to and arms feature square shapes and edges, half circles are integrated throughout the design of the chair. The combination of circles and squares is stunning and the end result is an extremely unique church chair. Custom modifications are available for this chair upon request.
• Woerner 146 Celebrant / Sanctuary Chair (found here) - The Woerner Model 146 has to be one of the nicest chairs we offer. It features striking oak wood grain combined with a high quality stain. This chair has a European-inspired design that has an almost medieval look. Many have commented that this chair is fit for a king and has an almost throne-like feel to it.  The regal finish on this chair is unprecedented. Few sanctuary / celebrant chairs are as beautiful and stunning as the Model 146. Notice the high arched back, the rounded pos tops and the tapered arm rests. This chair is full of intricate details. Custom modifications are available for this chair. Buy yours today!
• Woerner 147 Celebrant / Sanctuary Chair (found here) - The Model 147 is very similar in design and look to the Model 146, but without arms. This chair features a high back and elegant curves, bevels and designs. The padded chair is very comfortable and is available in a variety of different fabric patterns. This chair is made from solid oak, with natural wood grain showing through the wood stain finish. It is solid, durable and designed to hold up for years if not decades. Custom modifications are available for the Model 147. Order now.

We are excited to have these three new chairs on our site and will continue adding more high-quality church furniture in the coming months. You can find our entire selection of church furniture here.

There are a few reasons why our Woerner furniture is so popular. To begin with, it is all handmade. There is nothing prefab about our furniture. Wood used in our Woerner furniture is solid. Attention to detail is unprecedented. If there is even a minor gap where two pieces of wood are put together, the chair is thrown out. Because this furniture is such high quality, it usually lasts for years and even decades without issue.

The Woerner 60DW chair is a companion chair to the Woerner 60D, but it can be used on its own. It doesn’t have any padding, but is still comfortable to sit on (for a wood surface). The wood grain shows through the finished wood stain, which is beautiful. This chair is available with an optional kneeler, optional book rack or both.

The Woerner 60B is wooden church bench that is perfect for large congregations, assemblies, churches, chapels and much more. It is available in a 40″ or 60″ width and can be built with optional kneelers, book racks or both. This bench is made with 2″ of seat padding, making this bench extremely comfortable. Choose from a variety of wood finishes and fabrics.

As is the case with all our church furniture, custom modifications can be made upon request. Just call us at 1-800-257-2968 to request a custom church furniture quote. You can find our entire selection of church chairs and seating here.

All four new altars are made by Woerner, one of the most popular manufacturers of church furniture in the United States. This furniture is handmade, hand crafted and made from durable northern red oak. This furniture is designed to hold up and last for years.

The four new altars we are adding to our site include:

1. Model 525 Wooden Altar
2. Model 515 Wooden Altar
3. Model 419 Wooden Altar
4. Model 526 Altar of Repose

All four pieces of furniture are unique and easily set themselves apart from the competition. Because our wooden furniture is handmade, we can make custom modifications upon request. Modifications include dimension changes, added accessories and text. Call us at 1-800-257-2968 for pricing and details on custom furniture.

The tithe box we are offering is the Woerner-Morgan M-1164 tithe box and it comes in a rosewood finish. This tithe box is made from solid wood. The only difference between the model we are offering as part of the drawing, and the standard model we offer online, is that the words “Tithe” are not on the front of the box.

In case you aren’t familiar with our line of Woerner-Morgan furniture, it is considered by many to be some of the highest quality around. This is because their furniture is handmade from quality, solid wood. We sell Woerner-Morgan furniture all the time and the satisfaction level from our customers is always positive.

Feel free to call us at 1-800-257-2968 with any questions about this drawing or about any of our furniture. You can view our entire selection of church furniture here.

We have just lowered the prices on most of our church furniture, equaling hundreds of dollars worth of savings on many pieces of our furniture. These are probably the lowest prices we have offered in over five-plus years. Feel free to stop by our site and take advantage of these new savings. Shop now by going here.

Because much of our furniture is hand made, modifications can be done to almost anything we sell. Modifications that many of our customers have made to standard furniture to make it more Christian oriented include:

Lettering: We can add scriptural versus and other wording to furniture. Let us know what you want and we’ll let you know if it can be done.

Emblems & Etchings: We can add many etchings and ornate décor to our furniture. This may include a dove, an Ichthys (Ichthus), grapevine etchings and more.

Crosses: We can often add a cross to a table, lectern or podium per your request. Again, let us know what you have in mind and we’ll let you know if it is a possibility.

Custom Modifications: As you may already know, we can also re-size furniture, make it taller and remove things. You name it and we can probably do it.

Feel free to call us at 1-800-257-2968 with your custom furniture questions. You may also fill out this form.

Is space an issue? If space is an issue, or you use a room for multiple activities, you may want to consider using stackable seating. Stackable seating frees up a lot of space. If you have a room dedicated for church services only, you may want to consider using a heavier or non-stacking chair.

Is color coordination necessary? Much of our furniture is available in a variety of wood stains and fabric colors. Try to match the wood stain and fabric to match existing church furniture and décor. If you have any questions about matching the furniture, give us a call at 1-800-257-2968.

Who will be using the chairs? Will your furniture be primarily used by adults or children? This is an important question to ask. Our wood furniture is very durable, and can withstand the wear children can create, but children are messy.

If children will be using the furniture, you may want to consider a chair with an open back for quicker cleanup. If children will be exclusively using the seating, you may even want to consider getting a metal or wood chair without padding. This will help cut down on stains.

The following types of church seating are available at Heavenly Wood:

• Stackable Church Seating
• Wooden Church Seating
• Ornate & Decorative Church Seating

Feel free to call or e-mail us if you have any questions about church seating options.

First of all, we understand that many of you are very budget conscious. We are more than happy to work with you to try and get you the most furniture for your dollar. Our representatives here can help get you quotes and answer your questions by calling 1-800-257-2968.

Church Furniture Budget-Saving Ideas:

1. At Heavenly Wood we offer quantity discounts. What does this mean? It means if you are ordering more than one piece of equipment, we can offer you a bulk quantity discount. This is because it costs us less to manufacture several pieces of furniture at once. To take advantage of a quantity discount, you may call us at the above number or fill out this form.
2. Another way to save money is by ordering one of our factory seconds or overstock pieces of furniture. We have a list of these products that you can find here. Our factory seconds are wooden furniture that were slightly blemished while being made, but have been since repaired. Due to our quality standards, this furniture won’t be sold as new, but rather as a factory second.
3. If you’re not certain you’re going to buy furniture right now, you may still lock in a price by requesting a quote. Our quotes are free and do not require you to make any purchase. Quotes lock in your price for 30 days. If the price goes down during that period, we will offer you the lower price.

Good luck with your furniture shopping, your budgets and may you all have a great year! ]]> http://www.heavenlywood.com/church-furniture-blog/2010/02/furnishing-a-church-on-a-budget/feed/ http://www.heavenlywood.com/church-furniture-blog/2010/02/types-of-prie-dieu-prayer-kneelers/ http://www.heavenlywood.com/church-furniture-blog/2010/02/types-of-prie-dieu-prayer-kneelers/#comments Mon, 22 Feb 2010 18:31:34 +0000 Dave Uncategorized Chairs & Seating Kneelers http://www.heavenlywood.com/church-furniture-blog/2010/02/types-of-prie-dieu-prayer-kneelers/ Heavenly Wood offers a large selection of prayer kneelers, sometimes referred to as prie dieu kneelers. While prayer kneelers all serve a similar purpose, we offer three different types of kneelers. The type of kneeler you use will depend on where you are using it and why you are using it. Here are the three different styles you can find on our site:

Portable Prayer Kneelers – These types of kneelers usually consist of a base with a padded surface. These don’t include any additional attachments. These types of kneelers are ideal for both home and church use. Because they are small and compact, they can be used almost anywhere. They can even be tucked under pews and chairs for storage.

Prayer Kneelers With Arm Rests – These types of kneelers are the most common style used and purchased. They not only feature a padded knee rest, but also include an armrest. These prie dieu kneelers are ornate and made from wood. Many even feature padded armrests. We even offer a wedding kneeler, with armrests, that allows two people to use it simultaneously.

Prayer Kneelers With Confessionals – These types of kneelers feature a padded knee rest and a confessional screen. Available in different wood stains and fabric colors, these kneelers fit right in with any church environment.

Remember, our wooden kneelers are all handmade. Let us know if you want any custom modifications and we’ll work up a custom quote for you. You can find our entire selection of prie dieu / prayer kneelers here.

Now is the best time to begin looking for and ordering Easter furniture. Why is this the case? This is because our furniture is hand made. Hand made furniture lasts longer, and with tight budgets, we want to make sure your furniture will last you for years to come. While we can probably get the furniture out to you within 2-3 weeks, some of our more ornate and custom furniture can take up to 5-6 weeks. Counting this week, Easter is about eight weeks away.

If you need a quote, or a time estimate for your furniture, feel free to contact us here or call us at 1-800-257-2968. Quotes will cost you nothing and our customer service representatives will not pressure you into a sale. We simply want to help answer your questions and point you in the right direction.
