Helpful Hints When Comparing Worship Seating

1. Line up the samples-backs towards the committee
   • This is the view you will see first when entering-which chair is most attractive?
   • Check the backs carefully-are wood screws or "T-nuts" used-Wood screws will loosen
   • Check fit and finish of the fabric-Loose fabric will wear quickly
   • Is the fabric Seamed, Sewn or Folded-Folds are weak and will allow extra wear
2. Push chairs forward and lay them on their front to inspect underside
   • Are there air holes in the bottom? Foam needs to "breathe" to retain its shape and life
   • Is the seat bottom covered and attractive?
   • Check the welds-Are they even/smooth or will items be caught on the weld?
   • Check the leg brace/spacer bar? Is there one? Is it sturdy and strong?
   • Is paint applied evenly and smoothly? Take a coin and try to scrape the paint.
   • At the ends of the legs, try to remove glide or plug with pliers-Does it loosen or come off?
   • Are the glides self-leveling glides or cheaper versions that might mar or catch on flooring?
3. Stand chairs upright
   • Which chair is most attractive to you?
   • Do an initial comfort test-which chair provides the correct support and "sits" the best"
   • Do NOT play musical chairs, take your time-you'll have them for a long time
   • Take turns sitting for a minimum of a half-hour and preferably more-Your services aren't 30 seconds long
   • Put all you r samples in the church and encourage people to use them during services
   • Have your pastor, secretary and others use the chair at their desks. Get their feedback
4. Compare and rate each sample by the following 6 criteria on a 1-5 scale. Double the value of the last criteria
   • Comfort
   • Structural Quality
   • Paint and Fabric Finish
   • Visual Appearance
   • Best Price and Overall Value
   • Reputation and longevity of the seller
