A. Solid wood is certainly a critical material in the manufacturing of pews. Some companies will even tell you their pew is better because it is made entirely from solid wood. But don't stop your research there. How solid wood is dried, handled, and used in a product are all very important considerations in determining the ultimate quality of the product. Furthermore, while there are many parts of a pew that should only be constructed of solid wood, there are other parts where it makes more sense to use other materials, such as veneers, plywood, particleboard, or MDF (medium density fiberboard), that will increase the performance and longevity of the pew.
A. The fabric grading scale is not linked to the quality or durability of a fabric. Grade is determined by the price at which we receive the fabric from our suppliers. This price is determined by fiber content and construction, intricacy of weave and pattern design, and performance characteristics. Grade D fabric is more expensive than Grade A but is not an indicator of performance.
The Sauder Manufacturing Company warranty covers our standard pew fabrics for 15 years and chair fabrics for 10 years.
