Parts of a Church Pew
Let’s talk about church pews—not just the whole pew, but the individual parts that make it both functional and beautiful. A well-maintained pew isn’t just a piece of furniture; it’s a vital part of your worship space, offering comfort, style, and a welcoming environment for your congregation. But like anything else, pews need a little TLC to stay in top shape, and sometimes, it’s worth considering upgrades or replacements. Let’s break it down, part by part, and see why maintaining or upgrading each element is so important.
Pew Ends
Pew ends are the most decorative part of a pew and often the first thing people notice. They’re more than just decorative; they provide structural support and help set the tone for your church’s overall aesthetic. From intricate engravings to simple, clean designs, pew ends can make a big statement. Over time, however, they can lose their luster or become damaged. If your pew ends are looking worn or outdated, replacing them can instantly refresh your sanctuary. Plus, with options like custom engravings from Kivett’s, you can make them uniquely yours.
Pew Bodies
The pew body is the core of the pew—the part that holds the congregation during worship. It needs to be both sturdy and inviting. Over time, the wood can dull, crack, or weaken, especially in high-traffic areas. Maintaining or replacing pew bodies isn’t just about appearance; it’s about ensuring the safety and comfort of your congregation. At Kivett’s, pew bodies are built with solid oak, offering timeless durability and elegance. Whether you’re refinishing an old pew body or upgrading to a new one, it’s an investment in both functionality and style.
Pew Upholstery
If you’ve ever sat on a pew for an extended service, you know how important upholstery is! Over the years, padding can wear thin, and fabrics can fade or tear. Replacing or reupholstering the seats not only boosts comfort but also updates the look of your pews. Kivett’s offers a wide range of fabrics and direct upholstery options, so you can match your pews to your church’s decor while making sure your congregation feels at ease during services. It’s a simple way to combine comfort and style in one upgrade.

Pew Hardware and Accessories
Pew hardware and accessories might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but they play an essential role in your pew’s functionality. Think about kneelers, book racks, and communion cup holders—they’re the small features that make a big difference during worship. If your accessories are outdated or worn out, upgrading them can improve the overall experience for your congregation. Kivett’s offers durable and thoughtfully designed accessories to keep your pews practical and user-friendly.
Pew Stains and Fabrics
The stain and fabric you choose for your pews can dramatically impact the look and feel of your sanctuary. Over time, finishes can fade, and fabrics can wear down, making your pews look tired. Refinishing the wood or selecting new upholstery fabrics can breathe fresh life into your space. At Kivett’s, you’ll find a wide range of stain colors and fabric options to fit your church’s unique style. Whether you want a classic look or something more modern, a fresh finish can transform your pews into stunning centerpieces.
