The York Original Stacking Wooden Upholstered Chapel & Church Chair is a compact, elegant, and practical seating solution designed for chapels and smaller churches where space is at a premium. As part of the York family, it shares the trusted craftsmanship and comfort features, while its stackable design (up to 5 high) offers superior space efficiency. A matching non-stacking chair and armchair are also available to create a versatile seating arrangement tailored to your congregation’s needs.
This traditional and timeless chair features a flat-topped prayer rail, a dished-shaped upholstered seat for enhanced comfort, and a curved back pad for additional support. Optional armrests provide extra stability, making it particularly suitable for elderly worshippers or those requiring assistance.
