Abstract
Disclosed is a foldable, injection molded plastic chair in which the seat of the chair is engageable in a generally horizontal seating position with application of little force, with the seat engagement members preventing the seat from moving out of its horizontal seating position until application of significantly greater force thereto, thereby providing a chair having improved load withstanding capability. The seat is mounted for pivotal engagement to the legs of the chair by an improved keyed post interlock arrangement which can withstand heavy loading and still retain the pivotal engagement of the seat with the chair legs.
