Canopy chairs are normal folding chairs with a canopy or a covering over
them. These type of chairs are usually used as beach chairs, lawn or garden
chairs but can also be used in the living room as a decorative accent. Once
the canopy is removed, the chair can act as a normal chair and hence
considered as a multipurpose chair. In some cases the canopy is fixed on to
the chair and cannot be removed.
Canopy chairs are available in variety of styles starting from traditional
to victorian to modern contemporary sleek style.
The chair frame is usually of metal like iron, steel, wrought iron,
aluminum etc. The chair frame is powder coated like polyester coating, epoxy
coating, nylon coating which can then be painted. The color should go with
the decor of the living room. The fabric for the seat of the chair are of
various types like cotton, cotton blend, denim, leather, micro fiber,
corduroy etc. This can be plain or printed.
