Dance Floor Edge Rails: Male vs Female, Left vs Right Corners
Male, female, left, right: how to order the correct dance floor edge rail and corner the first time.
Read Article →For party & event rental companies
Chivari has supplied party and event rental companies since 2007. We're a family-owned manufacturer in Miami — we design, engineer and build commercial-grade event furniture, sell it to you at wholesale volume pricing, ship it fast, and stock the replacement parts so a damaged chair goes back on the truck instead of into the dumpster.
Everything on this page is chosen for one job: surviving a hundred setups a year and still photographing well.
Volume tiers are published on every product page and step down with quantity — no quote required to see them. For 100 units or more, ask for the rental-fleet tier.
Pre-configured kits that outfit a 100-person event in one purchase order — chairs, tables, carts and straps. Or configure your own from see our event packages.
A team that knows the finishes, the stack heights and the cart capacities. Ask them about the free sample chair program if you want to sit in one before you commit.
Start here
Plastic folding chairs, resin folding chairs, plywood tables, plastic tables, and something to move them on. These are the must-haves for the overwhelming majority of party rental companies — and the category with the most competition and the tightest margins. Buy them well, then differentiate somewhere else.
A cart is not an accessory. It is the labor plan.
The one purchase that reduces the labor line on every event for the life of the fleet — and Chivari-built carts carry ten-year coverage.Differentiate your business
Which is exactly why the folding chair is the most competitive, lowest-margin thing you own. There are four ways out, and only two of them are any good.
The oldest and least creative move. Lower prices lower margins — you work harder for less profit, against a competitor who can do the same thing tomorrow.
Pick it up. Return calls the same day. Answer the email. You will be surprised how many competitors won't do this — and it costs nothing but discipline.
A chair your competitor doesn't own is business they cannot quote. This is the cheapest real moat available to a rental house.
Premium inventory eliminates the low-end competitor and the budget shopper in the same move, and it carries premium margins on the same truck.
Chiavari chairs are still the most popular chair on the floor — after cycling in and out of favor for twenty years.
Rental operators and manufacturers interviewed in Rental Management, “What's the latest in chair trends?”, October 6, 2025. The same reporting notes construction has moved away from wood frames toward resin and steel on rental-durability grounds.Move your business
Move it in, set it up, come back, strike it, move it out. Rinse and repeat. A rental item gets handled roughly eight times per event— pulled, inspected, staged, loaded, delivered, set, struck, washed — and the client who hired you wants you out of the way as fast as possible. Every minute you cut off a setup is labor cost you keep and a customer who calls you again.
Several models. Up to 120 poly chairs on one cart, in about sixteen square feet of floor.

Expand your business
Once chairs and tables are established, the expansion is the easy part: your existing customers need the rest of the room. Bars are one of the highest-margin things a rental house can put on an invoice. Schools need stages every May. And nobody has ever thrown a wedding without asking about a dance floor.

Shop Now ▸Dress it up
Cushions, linens and tableware change the entire register of a room without changing a single chair. It is also the smartest inventory a rental house can own: a cushion cover in this season's color costs a fraction of re-chairing, and it lets you quote a look your competitor can't match with the same frames.

When a chair comes back off a Saturday with a cracked foot and a scraped leg, is there a part in a box — or is the chair scrap? Most manufacturers have no answer. That is the whole reason a rental fleet quietly loses ten to fifteen percent of its inventory a year.

18 matched touch-up paints, named to the finishes — Classic Gold, Chestnut, Fruitwood, Mahogany, Silver Onyx and the rest. See the range ▸
