What Manufacturer's
don't want you to know.......
about Pulpit Furniture!
There are "insider secrets"
in every industry, and the church pew
business (and chairs, etc) is no different
from other industries. In fact, since this
is something that most folks only do one
time during their lifetime, few people are
interested in "revealing" what they do
know. Here are some of the secrets...
MAIN SECRET
The most important secret that you need
to know about buying pulpit or chancel
furniture is that pricing is controlled by
the major pew manufacturers. Like a casket,
the markup on an average pulpit is
enormous! If you buy your pulpit furniture
from a pew manufacturer or even a catalog
company, you are paying way too much. Look
for an independent cabinet shop, or ministry
related services such as
Pulpit
Store, Arm,
or
Executive Wood for much lower pricing.
PRICING
Expect to pay $1800 - $2400 from a pew
company for a typical pulpit such as the
Victory Style above. A discount catalog
service would offer it for $1500-1600. Some
church related
groups
(Amish, Mennonite, etc) will offer this same
pulpit for $1495. Shop around - you will be
amazed!
This style pedestal
pulpit, sometimes called the St. James or
Elim Style, would be $2600 from a pew
factory, $1690 from a
Church Bookstore, or $1490 from a
discount pulpit provider.
BUY SETS AND SAVE
If you buy your pulpit,
tables, and minister chairs (and other
furniture) in a set, you can save with a
package discount from most
retailers. Be sure to ask about pick up
options as well as delivery. Delivery fees
can eat up your savings if you are not
careful.
