Fixed Bench

 Requires 6” more aisle space  Seating width flexibility  Solid wood option  Individual shtenders possible  Requires “personal” space  Less maintenance  Traditional look

Individual Self-Rising Seats

 Increases # of rows  Fixed seat widths  Fixed top-rail shtenders  Individual shtenders may not

line up

 Arm rests provide comfort

and personal space

 Additional maintenance  More modern look

with radial seating
