Christian Furniture Options from Heavenly Wood

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

Christian Furniture for ChurchesAt Heavenly Wood, we offer a wide selection of Christian church furniture. This includes altars, prayer kneelers, wooden crosses and narthex furnishings. Some of our furniture is non-denominational, able to be used by any business, office or religious faith. So what modifications are commonly made to existing non-denomination furniture to make them more Christian oriented?

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.

Best Types of Church Chairs and Seating

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Church SeatingSeating is one of the most important parts of a church. Think about it. Insufficient seating can make church services tough for your congregation. Church seating is available in a variety of formats, including metal and wood. There are a few questions you will want to ask yourself before making your purchase.

What style is your building?
Although this isn’t a rule set in stone, it is a good idea to try and match your church seating up as closely as possible with the building it will be in. This means an older or more traditional church may require more ornate wood furniture where a newer more contemporary church may be fine with a metal frame or simple wood chair.

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:

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

Furnishing A Church On A Budget

Monday, February 22nd, 2010
Church FurnitureMoney is scarce right now, especially when many churches rely on donations to keep buildings running, pay the bills and buy furniture. As a result of the current recession, donations are down. So how can you afford to furnish your church on a budget with Heavenly Wood? Here are a few tips and suggestions.

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!
