Abstract
A mix and match chair having a plurality of legs and removable chair components such as seats, backrests, footrests, and armrests. The mix and match chair comprises a chair frame having a backrest portion and a seat portion. Attached to the backrest and seat portion is a backrest pan and a seat pan, respectively. The pans have holes and at least one raised locator area. The seat and backrest have arcuate shaped apertures and a cutout. The cutouts mate with the raised locator area of the pans. Thus, the locator areas provide a mechanism for precise placement of the chair component and for the firm attachment of the chair component to the chair frame. Extending through the arcuate shaped apertures and the holes are fasteners. Other chair components are provided with the same mechanism for attaching to the chair frame.
