Puerto Chair

The Puerto Chair is an outdoor dining arm chair from our Al Fresco line with a warm, classic character. A curved solid teak top rail wraps around the back and forms the arms, supported by a row of vertical teak spindles, so the back reads like a softened barrel chair. The teak shell sits on a dark outdoor cast aluminum base with slim, slightly splayed legs, and an upholstered seat cushion finishes the chair.

The mix of honey-toned teak and a dark metal base gives the Puerto a timeless, resort-ready look that bridges indoor and outdoor dining. The cushion is offered in outdoor-grade fabrics with optional quick dry foam, and the base comes in a range of powder-coat colors. It is part of our Al Fresco, Coastal & Rooftop, Casino & Gaming and Lobby & Lounge collections.

Built for commercial use

The Puerto combines solid teak, a wood suited to outdoor use, with a cast aluminum base. It is tested to 400 lbs and tested internally to meet ANSI/BIFMA standards, and its foam and upholstery meet CAL TB 117-2013. As part of the Al Fresco line, it is UV-resistant for year-round outdoor use. It ships fully assembled from the factory and carries our 3-year frame structural warranty and 1-year finish and upholstery warranty from shipment. Each chair comes standard with heavy-duty nylon glides, suitable for most commercial floor types, including hardwood, tile, stone, concrete and carpet.

Dimensions

• Width: 22.5"
• Depth: 21"
• Height: 31.75"
• Seat Height: 18.5"
• Seat Size: 17.5" x 17.25"
• Arm Height: 29"

Plan about 24" to 26" per seat at tables. Because the arms rise to 29", the Puerto generally sits beside rather than under a standard dining table, so allow a little extra room behind each chair. See our restaurant seating layout guide.

Finishes and upholstery

Metal (Metal Finish Option D): powder-coated finishes in textured and smooth options, including white, black, taupe gray, anthracite bronze, mink brown, brown caramel, medium gray and black satin.

Fabric (Fabric Option C): outdoor-grade cushion fabrics, including Sunbrella colors and a selection of Aphrodite and Cartenza fabrics. Optional quick dry foam is available for cushions that will see rain and pool splash.

For commercial use we recommend upholstery rated at 75,000 to 100,000 double rubs. COM and COL are accepted, and we will provide the yardage for your material. Our upholstery double rubs guide explains the ratings.
