For 75 years, Chair King has been a pillar in Houston, providing outdoor furniture solutions tailored to the city’s unique climate and lifestyle. As Houstonians enjoy their outdoor spaces year-round, Chair King has evolved alongside technological advancements to offer durable and stylish furniture options. Michelle Weisman, the company’s director of visual design and granddaughter of the founder, reflects on the journey from traditional materials like rattan to modern innovations that can withstand Houston’s extreme weather conditions.
With hurricanes and tornadoes being part of Houston’s weather landscape, Chair King’s emphasis on sturdy furniture that can withstand storms is evident in their latest offerings. The newest showroom in Webster showcases materials such as resin wicker, polymer, extruded aluminum, and teak, each designed to balance durability with aesthetic appeal. These materials cater to the need for low maintenance, weather-resistant, and visually appealing outdoor furniture.
Chair King’s commitment to addressing Houston’s climate challenges is further highlighted by their selection of Sunbrella fabrics for outdoor cushions, known for their durability and color retention even under intense sun exposure. The showroom’s array of vibrant colors not only adds a pop of personality to outdoor spaces but also ensures longevity in the face of Houston’s harsh sunlight.
When choosing outdoor furniture, factors like location, maintenance requirements, exposure to weather elements, weight for wind resistance, and personal style preferences come into play. Weisman advises customers to consider these aspects and seek guidance from Chair King’s backyard specialists, who are well-equipped to recommend suitable options based on individual needs.
Chair King’s legacy of expertise in outdoor furniture is evident in its nine Houston-area locations, each catering to the city’s diverse outdoor living needs. The newly designed Webster showroom, with its updated aesthetics and layout, aims to inspire customers and provide a seamless shopping experience. As Chair King celebrates 75 years in Houston, their continued dedication to understanding and meeting local outdoor furniture needs solidifies their position as a trusted resource in the community.
As outdoor furniture trends evolve and customer preferences shift, Chair King remains at the forefront of providing innovative solutions that blend functionality with style. The company’s enduring commitment to quality, durability, and customer satisfaction underscores its reputation as a go-to destination for Houstonians seeking to enhance their outdoor living spaces.
