The Newstead Stacking Wooden Upholstered Chapel & Church Chair is a compact, traditionally styled wooden chair designed for churches and chapels that need seating to look permanent when in use, yet store away neatly when space is required.

Retaining the calm, ecclesiastical appearance of traditional pew-style seating, this stacking version allows worship spaces to adapt easily for services, events and community use. Chairs can be arranged in neat, linked rows for regular worship, then stacked away efficiently to restore valuable floor space.

Crafted from solid beechwood and upholstered for comfort, the Newstead Stacking Chair offers a practical, space-saving alternative to fixed pews — preserving traditional church character while providing the flexibility modern churches increasingly require.

Product Overview
• Compact stacking wooden chapel and church chair
• Traditional styling suited to historic and contemporary worship settings
• Upholstered seat and back pad for comfort during services
• Solid beechwood frame with classic detailing
• Links neatly to form aligned, pew-style seating rows
• Designed for efficient storage and easy handling

Practical Benefits for Churches & Chapels
Many churches require seating that maintains a traditional appearance while allowing spaces to be reconfigured quickly for different uses. The Newstead Stacking Chair has been developed specifically for this purpose.
Its compact footprint ensures efficient use of floor space, while the stacking capability allows chairs to be stored neatly when not in use. When deployed, the linking system keeps rows aligned and orderly, creating a composed seating layout suitable for regular worship.

Product Description
The Newstead Stacking Wooden Upholstered Chair is handcrafted from sustainably sourced solid beechwood, combining traditional craftsmanship with long-term durability.
The chair features a generously padded upholstered seat and an 8″ (210mm) upholstered back pad, providing comfort and support during longer services. A sturdy prayer rail is fitted above the back pad, allowing congregants to lean comfortably during prayer or use it for support when sitting or standing.
A book and kneeler rack is fitted beneath the seat to keep aisles clear and uncluttered. Chairs link securely when required, forming neat, continuous rows that echo the visual rhythm of traditional pew seating.
