About The Name
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.
About the Product
The Original Uwharrie Chair was created to offer not only
eco-friendly all-weather seating, but classically styled, comfortably
designed outdoor accents. With their rugged good looks and solid
construction, the chairs and their companion pieces provide a balance of
aesthetic charm and lifestyle integrity.
Investors who desire seating to coordinate with existing surroundings
may choose the natural chairs, which can be stained, painted, or left to
turn dark over time. Those who prefer a splash of color to enliven their
environment may choose a selection from
Uwharrie Chair's finish palette.
Whatever your choice, the rustically styled outdoor furniture crafted by Uwharrie Chair will provide comfort and character for years to come.
