Abstract
A chair assembly includes a seat shell that includes a seat section adapted to support a user thereon and a back section extending upwardly from the seat section. The seat shell further includes a pair of first coupler portions, and a bolster having a support section and first and second arm sections juxtaposed across the support section. Each arm section of the bolster includes a second coupler portion matable with the first coupler portions. The first coupler portions and second coupler portions couple with one another to allow the bolster to be rotated between a first position, wherein the support section of the bolster is at a first height relative to the seat section of the seat shell, and a second position, wherein the support section of the bolster is at a second height relative to the seat section of the seat shell and that is above the first height.
