What type of riser do you need?
There are three primary types of risers. They are standing choir risers, seated choir risers, and band risers. When considering what to buy, you need to consider the needs of your program.
The difference between a seated choir and band riser is that the band riser has deeper treads.
How much storage space do you have?
Different risers have different storage needs which is why it’s important to know how much space you have available in your facility. Demountable style risers, as seen in the photo below, usually store more compactly than a riser that has all its parts mounted to the frame.
Will you be moving your risers throughout the building?
If you’re going to be transporting your risers throughout the building to different rooms you need ones that move easily. The best option, as far as standing choir risers go, is one that has all of it’s parts mounted to the frame. This option would be the easiest for moving from room to room and setting up very quickly.
For seated risers, they can usually still be set-up quickly and can be moved with a transport cart.
