As I assist churches throughout the country develop their cafe and coffee-shop environments, a major decision each church has to make is what height tables and chairs they’re going to furnish their new project with. I often find the terms church furniture manufacturers use to delineate the three basic height choices are not familiar to churches. So here’s a quick basic primer:
- Dining Height: These tables are 30″ high and the chairs around them are standard height chairs, which means the seat is about 18″ from the floor. Certainly this height is most common in all settings.
- Counter Height: These tables will be 36″ high which is the same height as most kitchen counters. Chairs are going to have seats that are 24″ from the floor. This height of tables and chairs is becoming increasingly popular.
- Bar Height: These tables are the tallest at 42″ high, taking their name obviously from the normal height of bars around the country. The accompanying seating or stools, are going to be 30″ high. Most settings will have some bar height tables and stools.
As you furnish out your church cafe or coffee-shop, you will want to consider which heights will be best for your application. I find most churches will choose two of the above heights and use some of each in their project. You’ll also want to check out Save Your Church Money for great pricing on all three cafe styles of seating.

The addition of a “Flex Back” to several models of chairs has become an assumed advantage for such chairs versus models lacking a flex back. The combination of this option along with the increased price of chairs possessing this feature would certainly lead church furnishings purchasers to think so. But is this assumption valid?
The Church Furniture Guy conducted a non-scientific survey regarding flex back chairs. Surprisingly we found that several who had purchased flex back chairs believed they were less comfortable over extended periods of time than chairs without a flex back. The primary reason given was that because the chair was consistently “flexing” as its occupant moved about, the back of the occupant tended to NOT relax, but actually tense up. A position of comfort was therefore actually harder to obtain. In other words, the very thing the flex back chair is intended to provide was perceived by several as NOT being delivered.
I would encourage churches considering flex back chairs to try out several over an extended period of time before making such a purchase. It may be that you can save the church a considerable amount of dollars, and not sacrifice any comfort features by purchasing standard back chairs. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about flex back chairs. And if you’re looking for church seating, I encourage you to visit Save Your Church Money for a great selection and low prices.
