A folding chair includes collapsible rungs permitting folding in two directions. Stability is further enhanced by the upholstery which further forces the top rung of the chair downward making the chair rigid in the open position. Side rails and back supports slide freely along the chair's rear legs creating a folding mechanism that folds the seat upwards while also pulling the rear leg upwards in the same direction resulting in greater stability without increasing the height of the folded package.

A modular power reclining chair is disclosed which includes a unibody chair frame supported on a power base assembly. A power-assisted linear drive mechanism is operably coupled to an actuation mechanism of the reclining chair to provide power assistance in positioning of a leg rest assembly, a tilt control mechanism and a swing linkage mechanism for moving the reclining chair through its various ranges of motion.
