Product Insights
Fermob's Bistro Metal Chairs Set Of 2 merges an 1889 Simplex patent design with park-grade durability: anticorrosion, UV coat, and colors tested for outdoor use, still crafted at the Thoissey factory. The riveted steel frame supports 275 lb, validated by a 100,000-cycle blow test and a 5-year structural warranty (2-year cosmetic, coastal corrosion excluded). Nanoceramic pretreatment and DuPont anti-UV powder coat reduce corrosion by 30%; maintenance is with soapy water and touch-up. At 10.6 lb each, they fold seamlessly with safety clips, available in 25 UV-certified colors. Curved slats provide dining comfort, but a cushion is recommended for extended lounging.
