Church pews, while austere in design and simple in comfort, are considered furniture in the strictest sense. However, unlike regular furniture inside homes that can be moved around, church pews, especially hefty and lengthy ones, aren’t meant to be moved. Religious services are usually strict about seating arrangements, and ministers can’t have their congregations lifting up the seats as they please.
There will be instances when the pews will need to be repositioned within a church or temple. Perhaps the temple will undergo renovations, or the seats will be transferred to another house of worship. Whatever the case may be, those planning to move pews should keep in mind that the benches were made to be permanent fixtures, and can be extremely difficult to lift without any help of some sort.
Most modern church pews are fastened to the floor of the temple with brackets; lifters should first loosen the screws that hold these brackets in place to free the seats. Even when loosened, most church pews weigh a lot and can be difficult to lift, especially if the seat was made to hold a large number of celebrants. Professional help might be necessary to safely transport pews from one location to another.
