Abstract
A chair includes a generally horizontal seating surface with four legs extending downwardly from the seating surface. A first stiffener bar extends between and interconnects the front left leg and the rear left leg. A second stiffener bar extends between and interconnects the front right leg and the rear right leg. A ganger feature is provided for interconnecting the chair with a like chair in a side-by-side arrangement. The ganger feature is a ganger bracket interconnected with one of the stiffener bars and extending outwardly to an outward edge. An engagement tab extends upwardly from the outward edge. The other stiffener bar has a lower surface with a slot defined therein. The slot is sized and positioned so as to receive the engagement tab of a like chair so as to interconnect the chairs.
