NEW CHIAVARI: fiberglass resin stacking ballroom chairs

MATERIAL

The material used at Drake is a composite multi-layer techno-polymer which allows the manufacturing of the strongest (tested at 500lb.) and lightest (10lbs, only) special event resin chairs on the market.

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.

COMFORTABLE

The forgiving nature of the back of our Chiavari chair gives it a comfort level unparalleled by wood.

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 protects the first chair of the stack and eases up stack handling with both hand-trucks or pallet-jacks. Some of our customers use PE film to wrap the chair for storage or transport.
Bright side: PE film is cheap.
Problem: using PE film protects the chairs from the warehouse to the customer, but very seldom workers take the same care in packing to bring the chairs back from the customer to the warehouse after the event.

We supply covers, which are strong, protective, and easy to use for every chair move (both to and from the customer). When you are using a cover: that's it, chair-handlers must use it every time, even for re-pack from the customer to your warehouse, because it is there, and it is easy to put on the stack.

It fits virtually on any van.

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.

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.
