Abstract
A method of making a new furniture product, such as a chair, with front and rear legs supporting a seat frame and a U-shaped back and arm rest frame assembly. The seat frame has an inwardly extending perimetral flange and a vertical flange. The back and arm rest frame assembly has a vertical flange generally aligned with the vertical flange of the seat frame. The method includes the steps of laterally compressing a resilient plastic back shell having a curvilinear back portion and forwardly extending side portions and positioning the shell within the seat frame. The compression is than released to permit the shell to expand laterally into bearing engagement with the seat frame and the back and arm rest frame assembly vertical flanges. Then a seat is provided for the seat frame.
