Why Buy Essentials Worship Chairs?

Essentials are durable, comfortable, and affordably priced stacking chairs that create a professional appearance for your congregational seating areas.

Overview

The Essentials Chair is a stacking church chair built for durability and value. It features an ergonomic design and a plush foam seat made with dual density foam—a soft layer on top and a firm layer beneath for support.

This chair stacks 8 high (6 for chairs with armrests), allowing you to move congregational seating areas around as needed and add seating during busy holiday services.

Your congregation will enjoy the comfort provided by the Essentials Church Chair, so they can focus on what really matters—worship!
