Abstract

A chair can include a base having at least one chair back attachment mechanisms that attach a back of the chair to the base of the chair. The chair back attachment mechanisms can be positioned on an upper portion of the frame of the base of the chair to support the chair back. In some embodiments, there may be a single chair back attachment mechanism or only a pair of chair back attachment mechanisms to attach the chair back to the base. The chair back can be positioned via the chair back attachment mechanisms so that there is a gap between the lower portion of the chair back and the seat. Embodiments of the chair can be armless. Other embodiments can include arms positioned above the seat on opposite sides of the seat to support arms of a user sitting on the seat of the chair.
