Our Heritage
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. Providing our customers with a lifestyle for a lifetime, perhaps the best description of the Original Uwharrie Chair.
Hand Crafted With Love
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 or Premium Uwharrie Polymer, a recycled pre-consumer vinyl. 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.
Our wooden outdoor furniture is crafted of hand selected, domestically harvested, pressure treated solid 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 may be stained or painted (or left natural), and it's milled from a renewable resource: plantation grown southern pine. Uwharrie Chair Company wooden outdoor furniture has a limited lifetime warrantee against rot, insect infestation and water damage. As the pine ages naturally, you should expect to see some additional loss of paint and some surface cracking. But even as nature matures your furniture, the wood and the product will remain structurally sound for years to come. Our outdoor furniture crafted from Premium Uwharrie Polymer has a hand painted matte finish that provides the luxurious look and feel of wood, with the ability to touch up stained or faded surfaces. It’s perfect for outdoor use; warranted for a lifetime against splitting, rotting, decaying, chipping, water damage and insect infestation.

Our Testimonials - Share Your "Uwharrie Story"!
'I have not one, but two stories for you about my Uwharrie outdoor furniture. The first happened at our summer cottage on Lake Erie . After a big storm, our next-door neighbor called to tell us he had been chasing his patio furniture down the street while ours didn’t move an inch. And just three weeks ago, a tornado ripped through our neighborhood in Cleveland and two giant trees fell on our house, punching holes in the roof, crashing through the attic and cracking ceilings. (We were all safe.) Our Uwharrie patio table and chairs were somewhere under all the trees. The next morning we discovered that the outdoor furniture held up better than the house. Only one chair leg broke and everything else was fine! We were able to screw the chair leg back together and it’s as good as new (almost!). I am not one to write customer reviews, but Uwharrie has earned my praise!”. ~Cindy S.
“I furnished your products to a hotel here in Alaska several years ago… and it is holding up beautifully in the Alaskan winters." ~ Sandra J. Anchorage, AK
"We have them now about 16 years and they stay all that time outdoors. I love the chairs, I bought them in de Bijenkorf (the best department store in Holland )." ~Monique W.
