Our chiavari chair storage covers are a really great addition to a rental company’s inventory. Not only do they help protect the chiavari chairs when they’re in transport to a rental location – but they also help protect the chairs from dust and debris when they’re in your warehouse.

Last year when we brought in wood cross back chairs – in 3 colours - we knew we needed to provide a way for our customer’s to protect these event chairs. They are stackable and are transported to different events so they needed to have a protective cover of their own.

I’m pleased to announce we now have in stock at our Mississauga Warehouse Cross back Chair Storage Covers!

These storage covers will help ensure the cross back chairs can be stored in a warehouse without getting dirty or dusty – and help ensure they don’t get scratched up when they are stored or stacked. They’re made of the same fabric as the chiavari chair covers.

What are the essential qualities of a great event chair? What makes them a good fit for a rental company? Here are all the quick tips about white resin folding chairs – including what makes them a great chair for rental companies and what markets they fit well into.

1. They lock when folded down and stacked on top of one another for easy transporting
2. The seats can be replaced if there’s damage or staining
3. The most popular chair we sell – selling thousands across Canada
4. We’ve had the same supplier for over 10 years
5. A single white resin folding chair can hold up to 700lbs
6. Can charge more per rental for these chairs – but the incremental cost compared to a regular plastic folding chair isn’t so immense that brides won’t be willing to pay a little extra for a better looking chair
7. Require less maintenance than wood folding chairs because of their resin material
8. Water resistant
9. Small and large markets support these chairs – they’re the more expensive chair for smaller markets who can’t support a chiavari chair rental while are a middle of the road option for larger markets.

Chiavari Chairs are a special event favourite. If you’re in the wedding industry they can be especially important with brides demanding Chiavari chairs more and more for their weddings. But not every party rental company and event venue has the need to buy Chiavari chairs. Some event venues attract primarily corporate meetings and events. Some party rental companies only rent out for tradeshows, corporate clients or their market doesn’t support a Chiavari chair (i.e. their customers don’t have the money for a higher price rental). Whatever the case may be, it doesn’t always pay to buy Chiavari chairs. If you’re wondering whether you should invest in Chiavari chairs, check out this post to learn 5 signs that suggest it might be time to invest in Chiavari chairs.

1. You're losing out on business

If potential customers are coming to your event venue or rental organization and you’re losing business to competitors with Chiavari chairs, it may be time to invest in Chiavari chairs.

2. Brides are specifically asking for them

If your customer base is already asking for Chiavari’s you know that the demand is there - which is half the battle in bringing a new product in.

3. You’ve cross rented or rented Chiavari chairs more than 10 times

If you’re cross-rented or rented Chiavari chairs more than 10 times, you would already have recouped your initial investment in Chiavari chairs – so it makes monetary sense to invest in the chairs to avoid paying more money in rentals.

4. You’re looking to expand your business

Chiavari chairs becomes another piece of inventory you can use to drive more business. If you’re an event venue, having Chiavari chairs is never a bad thing towards increasing your wedding season bookings.

5. You can’t figure out how to increase your average total invoice

Having more products to offer often ends up translating to an increase in average total invoices. Most people are happy to do more business with companies they’re both familiar with and trust. Having Chiavari chairs in your rental inventory means more business not only for customers taking Chiavari chairs but also for customers taking Chiavari chairs plus your other inventory.

As I've mentioned earlier this year, we brought in Black Textured Teardrop-Back Banquet Chairs with silver vein frames as well as Navy Blue Patterned Teardrop-Back Banquet Chairs with silver vein frames. We received them to our Toronto-area warehouse in March and they were so popular we sold them out before the end of summer - especially the black textured banquet chairs. What we also heard though, was that customers wanted a more traditional upholstery - particularly a burgundy fabric. So we went back to our factory and picked a burgundy patterned fabric . I'm pleased to announce that the new Burgundy Patterned Teardrop-back Banquet Chairs with Silver Vein Frame is now in stock - with our stock levels replenished of the Black Textured and Navy Blue Patterned Banquet Chairs.

As I've mentioned earlier this year, we brought in Rustic Wood Cross Back Chairs as well as Dark Brown Wood Cross Back Chairs. We received them to our Toronto-area warehouse in March and they were so popular we sold them out before the end of summer. What we also heard though, was that customers wanted a chair colour that bridged the middle ground - between the rustic and dark brown. Something of a similar colour as the wood harvest tables circulating the industry. So we went back to our factory and asked for a medium brown that was "rusticized" so it looked vintage and worn. I'm pleased to announce that the new Brown Rustic Wood Cross Back Chair is now in stock - with our stock levels replenished of the Rustic Wood and Dark Brown Wood Cross Back Chairs.
