An arm rest is fixedly secured to the seating portion for supporting the arms of the body and is selectively engageble and disengageable with the back portion to hold the latter in a predetermined position relative to the seating portion. An adjustable leg is hingedly connected to the back portion for selectively adjusting the back portion with respect to the support surface. An adjusting rack and bale may be provided for selectively adjusting the back portion in a series of stepped levels.
