The Nantucket collection offers the timeless style and tradition of days gone by.  The classic, sophisticated style of this collection will allow you to create an outdoor living area with hints of  yesteryear.  Hand-crafted from premium, kiln-dried pressure-treated pine, the Keep America Beautiful Collection will offer comfort and class for years to come.  Available in either natural and several bright, bold finish colors, this collection offers year-round options for outdoor settings.
 

Uwharrie Chair's unique outdoor furniture collections combine classic American styling with extraordinary comfort and character. These heavy, generously scaled products are hand crafted from thick, kiln-dried pressure treated southern yellow pine, an American renewable resource. A distressed finish treatment provides an antique, weathered appearance. With their rugged good looks and solid construction, these chairs and their companion pieces will provide comfort and character for years to come.

Colors
Uwharrie color finishes come as either natural, distressed or washed out. 

- A natural finish is unfinished. It is natural pressure-treated pine, with no paint or sealer. Like all Uwharrie products, however, it has a lifetime warranty.

- A distressed finish is worn at the edges to give the weathered appearance. Most pictures shown here are distressed.

- A washed out finish is worn all over - not just at the edges. The Nantucket collection is shown in washed out in white (or "whitewash"), and is one of Uwharrie's best selling combinations.

Uwharrie
Just south of the nation's furniture capital, High Point, North Carolina, a small rocky stream meanders through the quiet, rolling countryside. It flows by old farmsteads and new neighborhoods, dead gold mines and living forests, eventually becoming the Uwharrie River (pronounced you-WAH-ree). Ultimately, the water reaches the Uwharrie Mountains, a small range occupied centuries ago by Native Americans DeSoto called the Suala. The name "Uwharrie'' is attributed to them, a conclusion supported by references in John Lawson's 1701 journal documenting a visit to "Heighwarrie''.

Today the Uwharrie Mountains and Uwharrie National Forest are known for their abundance of wildlife, deep recreational lakes, and peaceful, natural beauty. The name is synonymous with rustic charm and relaxation, perhaps the best description of the Original Uwharrie Chair.

About the material
A number of environmental objections plague most outdoor furniture products. Tropical lumber harvesting devastates rainforests, old growth deforestation threatens endangered species, and plastics disposal harms the environment. Whether or not these alarms are overstated, the concerns behind them are valid. Uwharrie Chair Company offers a simple alternative to imported teak, painted metal or hardwood, and molded plastic: pressure treated pine.

The wood of choice for ski lodge decks, marina docks, and landscape walks, treated lumber offers distinct advantages over other traditional outdoor materials. It is insect and rot resistant, it may be stained or painted (or left natural), and it's milled from a renewable resource: plantation grown southern pine. Uwharrie Chair Company uses heavy, one inch thick premium grade lumber kiln dried after it has been treated. Paints used to coat Uwharrie Chair products are latex enamel.
