Benches

After seven decades of experience in building and installing solid wood furniture for worship facilities and courthouses, we have a pretty good understanding of your needs. One of the unique features all Sauder benches have is an exclusive contoured seat instead of the typical flat board for noticeably superior comfort. Because you are individual in your needs, Sauder doesn’t make a one-size-fits-all product. It is customized for you. The full range of body styles, ends, accessories, finishes and fabrics Sauder offers is sure to meet your needs. And the Sauder 25-year warranty is your assurance of lasting value.

Definity

Definity seating does just that – it defines an individual space and provides the maximum comfort in spacing on benches. People naturally try to put distance between themselves when filling in a standard bench. Definity helps bring people together – comfortably. Here are some of the main benefits and features when you choose our exclusive Definity Seating option:

Predictably maximizes your seating capacity
Fits all Sauder bench styles and bench end designs
Available with wood dividers if desired
Optimum use of your seating space without confining people with armrests
Removable cushions make cleanup and re-upholstery a snap.
Allows for more fabric options than standard benchs

Bench Bodies

Sauder offers a full range of wood benches, ends, material choices, accessories, finishes, and fabrics to fit a wide variety of seating needs. All of our benches have ergonomically contoured seats for maximum comfort.

Seat Options
Sauder offers you several choices when it comes to the seat foam. There are several standard thicknesses, an option for high-resiliency and even a spring seating option. In addition to our standard seat depth of 16", a deeper seat depth of 18" is also available.

Back Options
Sauder offers the choice of three options of back cushions. 1 ½" flat, ergonomic wedged and a 2-piece ergonomic back. Our High-Back design is available in all Sauder body styles. This design feature, especially useful in pitched balconies, extends the backs of the benchs higher for safety and to help provide modesty screening

A select sample of frontal styles is displayed below. Please contact your local Sauder sales representative for more options.

Bench Ends Edge Molds
Edge Molds, or profiles, will give your bench ends just the right finishing touch. Our computer-controlled machinery shapes wood precisely, for absolute control of both dimension and smoothness. Select from one of Sauder’s nine standard edge molds to achieve the look you desire.
