Abstract

A sling chair having side rails which connect to a cross member spanning the side rails. Each side rail has an extension bearing a socket which accepts insertion of one end of the cross member. The chair has a fabric seating member retained conventionally to the side rails. The cross member and side rails provide both a structural frame for the sling chair as well as a frame for the fabric seating member. The novel construction reduces the traditional redundant separate chair and sling frames to one frame.
