Abstract
A furniture structure and method are provided for chairs or other furniture as used in offices and homes. The structure provides an improved method of assembly using stretchable fabric spaced between opposing side frame members. Inserts attached to the fabric are used to selectively draw the fabric towards the side frames with threaded members so that a desirable tension can be applied to the fabric for comfort and aesthetic purposes. When worn the fabric can be easily replaced in the field by unskilled consumers.
