Handcrafted in the United States from commercial-grade cast and extruded aluminum, this chair delivers serious support for poolside dinners and covered-patio gatherings that stretch past sunset. The Castelle Nicoya Formal Arm Dining Chair is a 23.5-inch contemporary outdoor dining chair with arms, available at Uptown Sebastian with free shipping. Arms set at 23.75 inches align with standard dining tables, and the 19-inch seat lets you settle in for hours without shifting.

How Is This Chair Actually Built?

The frame combines cast aluminum joints with extruded aluminum rails -- the casting creates rigid connection points, the extrusion keeps the profile sleek and lightweight. Castelle bonds a multi-stage powder coating to the aluminum at the molecular level, so the finish won't flake, rust, or corrode under sun, rain, or salt spray. Quick-dry foam wrapped in Sunbrella solution-dyed acrylic resists mildew and holds its color season after season, and you clip the cushion on without tools.

What Can You Choose on This Piece?

You configure every Nicoya chair to your patio's palette.

• 20+ powder-coated frame finishes
• 100+ Sunbrella fabric options

How Long Does It Take to Build?

This chair is made to order and ships in 6-8 weeks. Castelle handcrafts each one in their USA workshop after you choose your finish and fabric, so the timeline reflects that custom build rather than pulling a ready-made piece off a shelf. The 15-year residential frame warranty covers structure and suspension; the finish carries a 5-year guarantee.

Where Does the Nicoya Chair Work Best?

The 23.5-inch width needs breathing room, so it shines around tables that seat six or fewer -- any spot where you'd rather stretch out than squeeze in extra chairs. Pair it with an outdoor dining table on a covered patio, tuck a set around a poolside bistro table, or mix it into a full outdoor dining set where arm chairs anchor the ends and armless dining chairs fill the sides. The commercial-grade frame holds up in high-traffic hospitality settings, so it'll handle whatever your household throws at it. For broader inspiration, browse our guide to outdoor living spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this chair commercial grade?

Castelle uses reinforced joinery, thicker-gauge aluminum, and finishes tested to survive daily use in restaurants and resorts -- heavier construction than you'll find in residential-only designs.

Can I return a made-to-order piece?

Custom-built furniture in your chosen finish and fabric is final sale, so confirm your selections before you order.

Is aluminum or wicker better for dining chairs?

Aluminum requires zero maintenance and supports more weight; wicker offers a softer look but needs periodic cleaning to prevent mildew in humid climates.

Do outdoor dining chairs need cushions?

Cushions add comfort for long meals, but aluminum frames alone provide adequate seating for shorter gatherings -- it's a preference rather than a requirement.

Where is it made?

Castelle handcrafts every Nicoya chair in the United States to their commercial-grade standards.

Will this chair stack for off-season storage?

No, the arm profile prevents stacking -- plan for floor or rack storage, or leave it outside year-round under the powder-coated finish's weather protection.
