Abstract
A chair includes a seat with male snap connectors thereon and a back. A cushion assembly has female snap connectors shaped to engage the male snap connectors for securement. The cushion assembly includes a dimensionally-stable fabric that holds the snap connectors in a stable pattern, and the male and female snap connectors engage in a manner that locates and secures the cushion assembly on the seat. The cushion assembly is easily and quickly removed from the seating unit, and can be quickly dry-cleaned, washed, or repaired, and reattached to the chair. A back cushion assembly is provided that can be pulled downwardly onto the back, and stretch-attached along its bottom edge. A removable seet through fabric vest can also be pulled downwardly over the back and releasably attach to a bottom edge of the back. A hanger is provided for supporting extra vests, back cushion assemblies and seat cushion assemblies.
