Material: ToughResin with improved weatherproofing.

Ideal for: Events where durability and weather resistance are paramount, such as outdoor weddings, concerts or garden parties.

Consideration: For events where you need the elegant look of traditional Chiavari, but need something more durable than our basic resin chair. While maintaining a classic, sophisticated aesthetic, these chairs offer enhanced weather resistance and strength compared to standard resin models. This makes Tough Resin Chiavari chairs remarkably versatile for both indoor and outdoor venues.

Picture them lining an indoor ballroom for an upscale corporate retreat, withstanding heavy use throughout an evening of mingling and dining without showing signs of wear. Then envision those same chairs transitioning outdoors the next day for an al fresco fundraising luncheon on the venue’s patio, or backyard wedding reception. Their tough resin construction can handle direct sun exposure without fading or becoming brittle over time.

Our inner resin core matches the paint color — so even tough scratches are virtually invisible. We apply a clear coat primer and allow it to cure, ensuring a hard and resilient foundation, and for that exquisite, glossy finish, we employ automotive paint, known for its durability and deep luster. The finishing touch: An automotive shine! We apply a final clear coat to safeguard the integrity of the paint.

Spectacularly clear!

Material: Resin with a diamond-like shine.

Ideal for: Weddings, graduation events, or any occasion where making a striking impression is essential. An incredible eye-catcher, especially at outdoor events where the sun makes the chairs glimmer like diamonds.

Consideration: For outdoor events, my personal favorite option is the ProClear resin Chiavari Chair. Its sleek, reflective surface is simply magical in sunlight, creating a dazzling glimmer that elevates the ambiance of any setting. ProClear resin chairs are perfect for tying the setting into the natural surroundings at garden weddings, al fresco wine tastings, or glamorous poolside soirées. The sparkling chairs mimic the way sunlight glistens on water.

Despite their rugged durability, aluminum Chiavari chairs are surprisingly lightweight for easy transport and set up. This portability lends itself well to venues with difficult access areas or events that require seating to be frequently reconfigured throughout different spaces. Here’s the bottom line: our aluminum Chiavari chairs give you the best balance of incredible light weight with exceptional strength. Our second-strongest chair and our lightest.

Designed for comfort and security

Our plush foam cushions are thicker than the typical industry standard. Our Velcro cushion straps are wider so they connect to the body of the cushion across a longer area and do not rip away from the cushion body. We use two lines of stitching to connect the straps, further preventing the straps from falling off. Don’t look past our superior cushion details.
