The York Deluxe Wooden Upholstered Stacking Chair offers churches and chapels the opportunity to retain the warmth and dignity of traditional wooden seating, while introducing the flexibility required for modern, multi-use worship spaces.
It is particularly suited to churches replacing fixed pews or older non-stacking chairs, allowing seating layouts to be easily adapted for services, community use, concerts, and events.
Product Overview
The York Deluxe Wooden Upholstered Stacking Chair is carefully designed to balance traditional craftsmanship with practical versatility.
Manufactured from premium beechwood and finished to match the wider York Deluxe range, this stacking version allows churches to benefit from efficient storage and flexible layouts without compromising on appearance. Chairs can be arranged in formal rows for worship, reconfigured for community activities, or stacked and stored when open floor space is required.
While the stacking model incorporates structural adaptations to enable safe stacking, it remains visually sympathetic to the York Deluxe family. The materials, upholstery, proportions, and detailing are closely matched, allowing stacking and non-stacking chairs to be used together within the same space while maintaining a cohesive, traditional aesthetic.
Comfort remains central to the design. The upholstered seat and supportive back ensure suitability for extended services, while the integrated prayer rail provides familiar functionality for worship settings. Optional book and storage helps keep hymnals and kneeling cushions neatly organised.

Customer Testimonials
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Beautifully crafted, sturdy, and comfortable. Our congregation loves them.” – David Cameron
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great furniture, good value, good service
We needed 140 wooden padded chairs for our church. After looking at several companies Winscombe were chosen on the basis of price and quality. They were always quick to respond to questions and emails, gave us a useful discount for early payment, produced the chairs ahead of the original time estimate, but were happy to work with us on delivery date when our building scheme was running late. The chairs arrived well packaged and undamaged and we are very pleased with the build quality and comfort. On the basis of our experience we have subsequently gone back to Winscombe for other items (pew cushions). Excellent service! – Peter Hayhurst (St. Catherines, Port Erin)

David Cameron (Uphall South Church) –
Ordered 150 chairs at fairly short notice but Paul and his team at the factory bent over backwards to meet the deadline. Very happy with the product and the service from both Paul and the factory team and would not hesitate to recommend them and use them again in the future.
