How Strong is a Steel Skeleton Chiavari?

In the world of fine craftsmanship, claims of strength and durability abound. But how can you be sure a chair can truly support the weight it promises? With Chivari Lab’s new Crusher Capacity Testing System, you don’t have to take those claims on faith.

We invested nearly $50,000 on a calibrated and certified, precision testing equipment typically used by the aerospace industry.  Why?

Because we're committed to building the best chairs money can buy.  Period.  We want to stress test our chairs beyond anything you'd ever experience.

Take our Gold Steel Skeleton Chiavari Chair.  We just tested this chair to an extreme limit of over 2,700 pounds.  That's more weight than the payload capacity of a standard Ford F-150.  Heck, that's more weight than a bull American Buffalo.  

At the end of the testing, our chairs required more than 2,700 pounds of force to fail! It may sound crazy to crush our own products --- but we do it so you’ll know the TRUE and ACCURATE WEIGHT CAPACITIES of our chairs. We put each chair we sell through our Chivari Lab testing. So you can be confident in the strength of our chairs.

A Chiavari chair is a type of lightweight, elegant chair that is popular for special events such as weddings, parties, and formal gatherings. The chair is named after the Italian city of Chiavari, where it is believed to have originated in the early 19th century. The design originally featured a wooden frame, often made of beechwood, with a distinctive slender and graceful appearance.

Key characteristics of Chiavari chairs include a slatted or spindle backrest, a slightly curved and contoured seat, and legs that curve outward and then back in toward the bottom.

Chiavari chairs are known for their simple yet sophisticated design, making them a popular choice for upscale events and venues.

Chiavari chairs are often used in both indoor and outdoor settings, and they come in various finishes and colors to suit different aesthetics and themes. While the original design was made of wood, you may also find modern versions made from materials like clear resin, color matched resin, and steel reinforced among others. Chiavari chairs are prized for their versatility, comfort, and timeless style.
