INTRODUCTION
A country club sells something no green fee or dinner check fully captures: the feeling of belonging to a place that was built to a higher standard than the world outside the gate. Members feel that standard in the weight of the door, the pour at the bar, the way the light falls across the eighteenth green at six o’clock — and, whether they can name it or not, in the chair that holds them through a four-hour board dinner.
Furniture is the part of the promise that gets touched. A guest may never notice the millwork, but they will feel a chair that wobbles, a seat that’s an inch too low for the table, a banquet round that flexes when they lean on it to stand. Multiply that small disappointment by a wedding of three hundred, a member-guest of four flights, a New Year’s Eve gala, and you have either a reputation or a running repair bill.
This guide is built for the people who make those decisions — general managers, clubhouse managers, F&B directors, and house committees — who need furniture that survives the calendar a club actually keeps: banquets on Saturday, member dining on Sunday, a tournament scramble on Monday, and a wedding walk-through on Tuesday. Every piece here is designed, engineered, and built to commercial-grade specifications, because a club chair isn’t bought for one event. It’s bought for a thousand.
SHOP BY NEED
A club is not one venue. It is five, each with its own job, its own wear pattern, and its own photograph. The fastest way to build a furniture plan is to walk the property the way a member does.
| The room | What happens there — and what it needs | Start here |
| The grand ballroom | Weddings, galas, member balls, and fundraisers. This is the photographed room and the profit room. Chiavari chairs, dressed banquet rounds, a proper dance floor, a stage, and a bar that looks like it belongs. | Furnish the ballroom ▸ |
| The fine dining room | À la carte member dining, where the chair sits at the same table three hundred nights a year. Upscale side chairs — Royal, Bellissimo, Cross Back, Napoleon — that read as furniture, not rentals. | See dining seating ▸ |
| The grill room & bar | The 19th hole and casual dining. Bar stools that take a spike-shoe kick, bistro chairs, and high-tops that wipe clean between the turn and dinner. | Outfit the grill & bar ▸ |
| The terrace & pool | Outdoor dining with a course view. Weather-ready seating, cocktail tables, and pieces that photograph as well at brunch as they hold up in August. | Shop patio seating ▸ |
| Tournaments & the lawn | Shotgun-start breakfasts, awards luncheons, and tented functions. Resin folding chairs, farm tables, and serpentine buffets that set fast and strike faster. | Shop outdoor event ▸ |

THE CHAIRS, IN DEPTH
The Chiavari Chair
The chair the company is named for — and the ballroom standard
From $29.97 · up to 10-year warranty · the world’s largest selection
No chair says “event” like the Chiavari. Its slim, faceted silhouette photographs beautifully from every angle, stacks tight for storage, and disappears politely under a bow or a floral runner when the couple wants the flowers to be the story. For a club ballroom, it is the safest signature you can buy: guests already read it as celebration.
What separates a Chivari Chiavari from the import that chips in a season is what’s inside. Choose classic wood, weatherproof BasicResin or ToughResin™ for the color run through the material, aluminum for the lightest carry, or the Steel Skeleton™ build with a welded steel core rated to hold up under the hardest banquet rotation — and backed up to ten years.
For most clubs the answer is a gold or clear ToughResin™ for the wedding-and-gala look, with a stack of Steel Skeleton™ frames underneath the highest-turn inventory. Add a cushion in the club color and the same chair works for a black-tie ball and a Sunday brunch.
| Starting price | From $29.97 |
| Materials | Wood, BasicResin, ToughResin™, Steel Skeleton™, Aluminum |
| Colors | Dozens, incl. gold, clear, white, black, fruitwood |
| Warranty | Up to 10-year total coverage (Steel Skeleton™) |
| Best room | Ballroom, weddings, galas |
| Also great for | Ceremony, member dinners, tented events |
Fleet tip: pair with Chiavari bar stools so the ballroom look carries straight to the bar.
Rustic-elegant, and the crossover darling of club weddings
From $39.98 · 7 colors · up to 10-year warranty
The Cross Back (or X-Back) is what a club reaches for when the brief is “elevated, but warm.” The open wooden X reads as farmhouse or French country depending on the linen, and it has quietly become the most-requested wedding chair at clubs with a barn, a vineyard view, or a garden terrace.
Chivari builds it in solid wood for the traditionalists and in BasicResin, ToughResin™, and Steel Skeleton™ for clubs that want the look without the maintenance — the resin builds shrug off spills and humidity that would open the joints on a real-wood chair over a few hundred turns.
| Starting price | From $39.98 |
| Materials | Wood, BasicResin, ToughResin™, Steel Skeleton™ |
| Colors | 7, incl. natural, fruitwood, white, black |
| Warranty | Up to 10-year total coverage (Steel Skeleton™) |
| Best room | Rustic-elegant weddings & dining |
| Pairs with | Farm tables and serpentine buffets |
A legend, back in stock — timeless warmth for the dining room
From $44.98 · 10 colors · up to 10-year warranty
The Bentwood is the grown-up in the collection — a curved, cane-or-solid seat silhouette that has furnished grand hotels and dining rooms for a century. In a club it signals permanence: this is a room that was here before you joined and will be here after. It is the natural choice for a fine dining room that wants character without trend risk.
Chivari offers it in Resin, ToughResin™, Wood, and Steel Skeleton™, so you can specify a genuine-wood chair for the à la carte room and a weatherproof resin twin for the terrace that photographs identically from two feet away.
| Starting price | From $44.98 |
| Materials | Resin, ToughResin™, Wood, Steel Skeleton™ |
| Colors | 10 |
| Warranty | Up to 10-year total coverage (Steel Skeleton™) |
| Best room | Fine dining, lounge, member grill |
| Signature | Timeless bent-frame silhouette |
The breakout hit — a homerun for country clubs and fine dining
From $49.97 (reg. $119.98) · 8 colors · rattan or tufted back
If you want one chair that makes a head table, a private dining room, or a bride stop and take a photo, this is it. The Royal brings the grandeur of a throne chair into a size every guest can actually use — a regal round back that elevates the whole room’s décor. Chivari calls it a homerun for country clubs and fine dining, and the reason is simple: it looks like it costs three times what it does.
Choose a natural rattan back for a lighter, coastal-club feel, or a tufted vinyl back for formal rooms. Seats come in easy-clean vinyl or waterproof, DuPont™ Teflon®-treated burlap, in Gold, Black, Silver, or Natural White-Washed — and you genuinely can’t tell it isn’t wood. Made with 100% virgin resin.
For a club, the Royal is the “members-only” chair: put a pair at every sweetheart table and a full set in the private dining room, and you’ve created a look competitors renting standard Chiavaris simply can’t match.
| Starting price | From $49.97 (reg. $119.98) |
| Back options | Natural rattan or tufted vinyl |
| Seat options | Vinyl or Teflon®-treated waterproof burlap |
| Colors | Gold, Black, Silver, Natural White-Washed |
| Material | 100% virgin resin (looks like wood) |
| Warranty | 2-year total coverage |
Only at Chivari. Designed in the USA by the Chivari Design Studio. Add your club crest via custom cushions.
The Chiavari, evolved — bigger, comfier, and built to be seen
Grand Champagne Gold · silicone cushion · self-leveling feet
For decades the Chiavari has been the standard. The Bellissimo is what happens when you refuse to leave a classic alone. Noticeably bigger and wider than a traditional Chiavari, it commands a ballroom or a private dining room with real presence — and gives guests far more comfort for the long dinners a club actually hosts.
The details are where it earns the premium: an innovative, highly durable silicone cushion surface that wipes clean after the inevitable red-wine toast; premium adjustable, self-leveling feet that keep every chair wobble-free on the uneven floors that plague older clubhouses; and upgraded metal swivel glides that let the chair settle smoothly on any surface.
In spectacular Champagne Gold, it is the chair for the club that wants the Chiavari silhouette but refuses to look like everyone else’s rental.
| Finish | Grand Champagne Gold |
| Cushion | Easy-clean durable silicone |
| Feet | Premium adjustable, self-leveling |
| Glides | Upgraded metal swivel |
| Size | Larger & wider than a standard Chiavari |
| Best room | Premium ballroom & fine dining |
Clean modern lines for the club that leans contemporary
From $42.98 · 4 colors · up to 10-year warranty
The Napoleon is the Chiavari’s modern cousin — a squared, gently peaked back that reads crisp and current rather than ornate. Clubs renovating toward a cleaner, contemporary look choose it for both the ballroom and modern private dining, where it pairs beautifully with glass, metal, and minimalist florals.
Available in Clear Resin for a light, barely-there look and in a Resin Steel Skeleton™ build for the highest-traffic rooms, it carries the same up-to-ten-year coverage as the rest of the steel-core collection.
| Starting price | From $42.98 |
| Materials | Clear Resin, Resin Steel Skeleton™ |
| Colors | 4 |
| Warranty | Up to 10-year total coverage |
| Best room | Contemporary ballroom & dining |
| Signature | Clean, squared modern back |
A little drama — the statement chair for a signature space
From $69.98 · 7–8 colors · clear, wood, or resin
The Louis Pop takes the classic French Louis silhouette and gives it a modern wink — an oval open back that looks couture in clear acrylic and rich in wood or colored resin. It is a statement piece: a full set for an intimate private dining room, or a pair at the sweetheart table to give the club’s wedding photos a signature that guests remember.
Because it comes in clear, wood, and resin, a club can deploy it as a bright, transparent accent in a sunny room or as a warm, solid anchor in a paneled one.
| Starting price | From $69.98 |
| Materials | Clear (acrylic), Wood, Resin |
| Colors | 7–8 |
| Warranty | 2-year total coverage |
| Best room | Signature private dining, head tables |
| Signature | Oval open Louis-style back |
Sculptural and see-through — a modern accent with attitude
From $119.98 (reg. $149.98) · 2 colors
The ‘O’ Chair is pure sculpture — a continuous, looping form that works as a design accent in a lounge, a bridal suite, or a photo corner. It is not the chair you buy three hundred of; it is the chair you buy a dozen of to signal that the club has a point of view.
Its transparent, modern character disappears in a small room, making tight lounges feel larger, and it pairs cleanly with both traditional and contemporary interiors.
| Starting price | From $119.98 (reg. $149.98) |
| Colors | 2 |
| Warranty | 2-year total coverage |
| Best room | Lounge, bridal suite, accent seating |
| Signature | Continuous sculptural loop |
| Buy quantity | A dozen accents, not a full set |
Terrace and café charm, engineered for the weather
From $89.98 (reg. $159.98) · 2 styles, 6 colors · 4-year warranty
Few chairs say “relaxed European afternoon” like the French Bistro. On a club terrace or in a casual café it turns a cup of coffee into an experience, and its woven, weather-ready construction is built for exactly the sun-and-spill life that outdoor seating leads.
Two styles and six colors let a club set a mood — classic navy-and-cream for a nautical clubhouse, or all-weather neutrals for a modern terrace — with a four-year total warranty behind it. Available as sets with a matching bistro table.
| Starting price | From $89.98 (reg. $159.98) |
| Styles / colors | 2 styles, 6 colors |
| Warranty | 4-year total coverage |
| Best room | Terrace, café, pool, grill patio |

Café-ready value for high-turn casual spaces
From $37.97 (reg. $79.98) · 2 styles, 4 colors
When a club needs to seat a busy grill patio or a pool café without spending fine-dining money, the Barcelona Bistro is the value answer — a clean, stackable, weather-friendly chair that looks far more expensive than it is. It is the workhorse of casual outdoor seating.
Two styles and four colors, at a starting price under forty dollars, make it easy to buy in the quantity a busy summer actually requires.
| Starting price | From $37.97 (reg. $79.98) |
| Styles / colors | 2 styles, 4 colors |

The tournament-and-lawn workhorse that sets and strikes fast
From $23.97 · 9 colors · up to 10-year warranty
Every club needs a stack of chairs that can be deployed by the hundred on a Saturday morning and struck by noon — shotgun breakfasts, awards luncheons, ceremony overflow, and tented functions on the lawn. The resin folding chair is that chair: weatherproof, fully assembled, built-in stacking, and light enough for a small crew to flip a room fast.
Chivari builds four grades — Standard, ToughResin™, SuperResin™, and the 2,000-lb-rated Steel Skeleton™ — so a club can match the grade to the turn count, from occasional overflow to a hard-used core fleet backed up to ten years. For beach and lawn ceremonies, ask about the patent-pending Grass and Sand Series that stays level on soft ground.
| Starting price | From $23.97 |
| Grades | Standard, ToughResin™, SuperResin™, Steel Skeleton™ |
| Colors | 9 |
| Warranty | Up to 10-year total coverage (Steel Skeleton™) |
| Best use | Tournaments, lawn ceremonies, overflow |

Brand New Grass and Turf Protection Resin Folding Chair Design
THE TABLES
A club’s table inventory does more quiet work than any other furniture it owns. It sets the seating math, it dictates how fast a crew can flip a room, and — dressed to the floor — it is the surface every centerpiece and place setting sits on. Chivari builds the full range, all commercial-grade, most on the same Steel Skeleton™ platform as the chairs.

| Table | Sizes | Seats | Best for | Shop |
| Round banquet | 60″ & 72″ (Steel Skeleton™) | 8–12 | Ballroom galas, weddings, banquets | view ▸ |
| Rectangular / banquet | 6′ & 8′, plus buffet height | 6–10 | Board dinners, buffets, seminars | view ▸ |
| Serpentine | Curved sections | Config. | Sweeping buffets & display lines | view ▸ |
| Farm tables | 5′, 6′, 8′ solid pine | 8–12 | Rustic-elegant weddings, garden dining | view ▸ |
| Cocktail / high-top | 24″–36″ round & square, 42″ tall | 2–4 | Receptions, mixers, the turn | view ▸ |
The upgrade most clubs feel immediately is the Steel Skeleton™ banquet table: a welded steel understructure that kills the flex a member notices when they push up from a crowded round. Add spandex linens and farm-table covers to finish the look, and carts and dollies so a two-person crew can move a hundred at a time.
TABLES, IN DEPTH
The backbone of every ballroom. Chivari’s banquet tables are built on the same Steel Skeleton™ platform as the chairs: a ¾″ Okoume marine-grade plywood top over a welded-steel understructure, wrapped in a drop-proof aluminum E-Channel edge. The 6-foot tables add a center support cross beam and the 8-foot tables a double center brace, so a member never feels flex when they push up from a crowded round. Also, available in Steel Skeleton design for extra durability and improved ROI.

| Sizes | 60″ & 72″ round; 6′ & 8′ rectangular; counter-height buffet |
| Steel Skeleton™ core | Yes — welded-steel understructure |
| Top | ¾″ Okoume marine-grade plywood, 11-ply + 2 veneer, poly-sealed |

| Starting price | From $158.80 plywood; $188.22 Steel Skeleton™ |
Curved quarter-sections that link into S-curves, circles, and sweeping buffet lines — the detail that turns a plain buffet into a display. They pair with farm and banquet tops to build head-table backdrops and food stations that read as designed rather than assembled.
| Shape | Curved sections — S-curves, circles, sweeping runs |
| Sizes | 7′ (84″) sections; kits seat 12–22 |
| Top | Plywood with metal edge; HPL bar-top options |

| Starting price | From $469 |
COCKTAIL & HIGH-TOP TABLES
Cocktail hour, the turn, the mixer before the gala — high-top tables free the floor and get members mingling. Chivari builds them in every top a club could want, from budget-friendly plywood to polished stainless and rustic farm X-leg, all at a standing-conversation height of 42 inches and dressed in seconds with a spandex cover in the club’s color.
| Height | 42″ cocktail/bar height; 30″ dining-height tops also offered |
| Diameters / shapes | 24″, 30″, 32″, 36″ — round & square |

| Linens | Spandex covers in club colors available |
| Warranty | Up to 10-year (Steel Skeleton™ options) |
| Starting price | From $58.80; stainless bar-height kit from $141.15 |
THE BAR COLLECTION
Beverage is where clubs make margin, and where the setup either looks intentional or improvised. Chivari’s modular and luxury bars let a club stand up a polished service point anywhere — a terrace wedding, a tented tournament tent, a ballroom perimeter — and strike it just as fast.
The signature move is the Chiavari bar stool: the same elegant silhouette as the ballroom chair, raised to bar height, so the look carries from the head table to the rail. Available in the Steel Skeleton™ build for the abuse a busy grill-room bar delivers, it’s the detail that makes a club’s casual space feel as considered as its formal one.
MODULAR BARS
Chivari’s modular folding bars are the workhorse behind the beverage program. Six series — Long Island, Margarita, Martini, Manhattan, Mimosa, and Spritz — snap together into straight, L-shaped, or serpentine runs, so the same inventory becomes a compact terrace bar on Friday and a 34-foot ballroom service line on Saturday. Reversible front panels flip between a clean single panel and a paneled look, and the whole face is brandable with the club crest.
| Series | Long Island, Margarita, Martini, Manhattan, Mimosa, Spritz |
| Colors | White, Black, Sage Green |
| Front panels | Reversible single- or three-panel — fully brandable |
| Top | High-pressure laminate (HPL) over plywood frame |
| Bar height | 40.9″; back-bar and shelf modules available |
| Configurations | Straight, L-shape, serpentine — ~7′ to 34′ runs |
| Set weight | 525–676 lbs per full modular set |
| Engineered | Designed & engineered in the USA |
| Warranty | 1-year limited warranty |
| Starting price | Single folding bars from $249.98; modular sets from $3,299.98 |
DANCE FLOORS
A portable dance floor is one of the most abused pieces a club will ever own, and one of the most visible. Chivari builds them the way an installer would if they had to carry, level, and stand behind every panel: reinforced anodized-aluminum edge trim, a waterproof PVC honeycomb core, and a 3 mm high-pressure laminate (HPL) surface — no plywood to swell or warp — with quick-lock cam fasteners that keep every seam flush, tight, and safe.
Styles run from classic parquet to high-gloss and luxury marble looks, sized from an intimate 12′×12′ up to a full 32′×32′ ballroom floor, and moved and stored on a single rolling cart that carries up to 24 panels. For a club that hosts weddings, it’s the difference between renting a floor for every event and owning one that pays for itself in a season.
| Panel size | 4′ × 4′ modular panels |
| Surface | 3 mm high-pressure laminate (HPL), UV-resistant |
| Core | Waterproof PVC honeycomb — no plywood to warp |
| Edge | Anodized aluminum trim (silver or gold) |
| Assembly | Quick-lock cam fasteners; minimal-gap seams |
| Sizes | 12′×12′ (144 sq ft) up to 32′×32′ (1,024 sq ft) |
| Capacity guide | 12×12 fits ~15–20 dancers; 20×20 ~80–100; 32×32 200+ |
| Panel weight | 45.6 lbs |
| Finishes | Parquet, high-gloss, black, white, marble looks |
| Transport | Rolling cart holds up to 24 panels |
| Starting price | From $4,999.98 (12′×12′) |
STAGES
Head-table risers, a band platform, a ceremony stage on the lawn, a podium for the annual meeting — Chivari’s StandUp portable stages give a club a professional, adjustable-height platform that a small crew can assemble quickly and store flat between events. Paired with the dance floor and bar, it completes an event-production kit a club owns instead of rents.
| System | StandUp™ modular staging — 4′×8′ & 4′×4′ panels, rounded-corner sections |
| Deck | Marine-grade plywood, double-sided HPL, industrial anti-slip top |

| Sizes | 4′×4′ up to 12′×20′; ceremonial round options |
| Accessories | Guard rails, steps, skirts, stage carts |
| Warranty | 2-year total coverage |
| Starting price | From $429.98 (4′×4′) |
