Cardiff Arm Chair

The Cardiff Arm Chair combines a slim aluminum frame with horizontal synthetic wood slats on the seat and back, the look of a teak patio chair without the upkeep. Squared arms with slatted caps run straight forward from the back, and the clean, rectilinear frame gives the chair a crisp, modern profile.

The synthetic slats will not splinter or need oiling, and the aluminum frame is light enough for staff to move and stack. Choose from five frame and slat combinations, black or silver frames with gray, black or teak-colored slats, to suit anything from a warm coastal terrace to a sleek rooftop. Matching Cardiff side chairs and bar stools let you outfit a full patio, and all are part of our quick ship outdoor program.

Built for commercial use

The Cardiff frame is welded aluminum, not bolted, and the synthetic wood slats give the look of timber without the maintenance, so the piece is ready for outdoor use. It is tested to 400 lbs and tested internally to meet ANSI/BIFMA standards. It stacks for storage. Ganging hardware may be available depending on the chair. We do not stock stacking carts, but they can be custom made on request. It ships fully assembled and carries a 3-year frame structural warranty and a 1-year finish warranty from shipment.
