A durable patient chair (10) comprises a chair base frame (12) including a pair of substantially rigid, spaced apart, front legs (22); a pair of brackets (14), each bracket (14) being fixedly attached to each front leg (22) and has a downwardly extending lip (42) and a horizontal portion (44); a rearwardly extending resilient seat (16) having a front edge with a downwardly extending lip (56) for attachment to the brackets (14); and a pair of first fasteners (18) for attaching the downwardly extending lip (42) of the bracket (14) to the downwardly extending lip (56) of the seat. Preferably, a second fastener (20) is used for attaching the horizontal portion (44) of the bracket (14) to an outer surface of the seat (16) proximate to the front edge (53) to better secure the seat (16) to the bracket (14). The seat (16) only has apertures for mounting the seat (16) to the bracket (14) in the downwardly extending lip (56) and does not have apertures for mounting the seat (16) to the bracket (14) in the horizontal portion of the seat (16). Thus, the seat (16) is less affected by excessive flexing and loading.
