A chair has a backrest and a pair of armrests. A pair of support struts for supporting the backrest is connected to a shaft of a base under a seat. The armrest is supported by an arm post. An operating lever is mounted on the upper front end of the arm post. When the backrest is tilted, it is held at a desired angle by pressing up the operating lever.

A net member is stretched over a frame for a seat and backrest of a chair. An engagement member attached to the end of the net member is inserted into an engagement groove on the lower surface of the basic frame. A binding frame is pressed onto the lower surface of the basic frame and the net member is fixed between the basic frame and the binding frame by the engagement piece. Warps are woven or knitted in a mesh structure over the seat and backrest to wefts comprising elastic yarns and chenille yarns.
