Hard to believe that... our Chiavari chairs are NOT WOOD. The aesthetic respects the old traditional look but... deep inside Drake Chiavari stacking chairs have been re-engineered ground-up. The NEW MIX of techno-polymers they are made of, makes them exceptionally strong, sturdy and a far better alternative to wood, metal, or any other plastic chair with a metallic insert, at a fraction of the weight.

BEST SELLING CHIAVARI CHAIRS for more than one reason:

ultra light-weight: (ONLY 10 lb.) means easy transportation and set up
ultra-strong: due to a high resistant multi-layer techno-polymer resin mix for strength and durability
long lasting: weatherproof and UV protected with color consistency throughout the entire chair
low maintenance: no sanding or painting needed
easy & safe stacking and interlocking: our Chiavari chairs stack with a CLICK, reducing tilting and moving

100% recyclable: unlike chairs with metallic inserts, Drake chairs ARE EASILY RECYCLABLE. We care for the environment and we hope you do the same...

So... WHY DRAKE CHIAVARI CHAIRS?

Because we combine the best materials with the best engineering! There's no need for metal reinforcement inside our resin Chiavari chairs that adds unnecessary weight, causes stress points, and makes the chair environmentally UNFRIENDLY. Drake uses a composite multi-layer techno-polymer material that allows the manufacturing of stacking resin Chiavari chairs to be strong and light (only 10lbs). Until now, no one has been able to deliver a long lasting plastic Chiavari chair as strong and light as Drake's. It makes transportation, storing and set up for events affordable and easy.

Available in White, Black, Gold, Silver.

***SHIPPED KD: Easy assembly, no glue required.

Technical
MATERIAL	The material used at Drake is a composite multi-layer techno-polymer which allows the manufacturing of a very strong and extra light weight Chiavari resin chair. CHIAVARI chairs are manufactured with a TWO COMPONENT RESIN (CO-INJECTION) system - the highest standard in plastic manufacturing. The result is an outer, smooth all weather resistant aesthetic skin, and an inner expanded closed cell modified resin FIBERGLASS ADDED, with high mechanical resistance that behaves like a bone and gives exceptional strength to the chair. The forgiving nature of the back of our Chiavari chair gives it a comfort level unparalleled by wood:

Maintenance & Handling
STORAGE & TRANSPORTATION	CHIAVARI CHAIR HANDLING The best way is stack them, cover them, and tighten. A chair pallet is always handy (the protection of the first chair of the stack is less critical than in folding stacking chairs operations, but VERY useful). With our chairs, we use plastic custom made pallets, or regular wood pallets with pallet shoes that secure the first chair of the stack to the pallet itself. A chair pallet eases up stack handling with both hand-trucks or pallet-jacks. Some of our customers use PE film or bags to wrap the chair for storage or transport. CHIAVARI CHAIRS WAREHOUSING The DRAKE "pallet shoes" for Chiavari chairs, can be screwed into a wood pallet and secure the first chair of the stack to the pallet. A 48"x20" wood pallets, fits 2 stacks of chairs back to back (5+5 chairs or 6+6 chairs). A similar pallet can be moved easily with a hand-truck as well as with a pallet-jack. A regular 48"x42" pallet equipped with pallet shoes, fits 4 stacks of chairs back to back (5+5+5+5=20 chairs or 6+6+6+6=24 chairs). Chairs have to be strapped and secured for additional safety. Higher stacks, of 7, 8, 9 or 10 chairs can be used, depending on the goal: maximize warehouse space (static skids) or ease of handling. *WARNING!!!!* DRAKE CHIAVARI Chairs stack so nicely that we have to remind you: higher stacks are more unstable than short ones. For static stacks, the number of chairs in a stack is not an issue, but if you are moving your stacks, do not exceed in the number of chairs stacked: SAFETY COMES FIRST, ALWAYS!!!! Do not attempt to make similar high stacks with woods. NOTICE: DO NOT USE COTTON COVERS WITH RESIN CHAIRS, as the static electricity produced by the two materials combined, attracts dust and any kind of dirt.
CHAIR CLEANING	We suggest water and mild soap to clean up dust and common everyday dirt. When “hard to clean” marks are found on the WHITE chairs (only on white chairs!), SOFT SCRUB or an equivalent product will work just fine. Steam cleaning could be performed from time to time and only when really needed. The operating 212°F-230°F temperature range is considered safe.
MAINTENANCE, REPAIR & WARNINGS	Buying our products means never having to paint a chair again. Because the colors of our products run all the way through them they will never need painting. The only ordinary maintenance required is a wipe down with a mild liquid detergent and water. Besides regular cleaning, check the chair structural integrity and screws every time before use. In the event of damage due to extremely rough handling, do not attempt to glue broken parts back together. Call us for spare parts. We'll be there to assist you in the best way we can.
