CHIAVARI CHAIRS: fiberglass reinforced resin stacking ballroom chairs for amazing events

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.

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 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.

SHIPPING

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.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

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.
