Abstract: A folding chair construction comprising a plurality of substantially U-shaped portions, each having a pair of parallel side sections connected by a right angle corner member to a medial section, providing back and seat portions and front and rear legs hingedly connected for movement between a folded position, wherein all of the U-shaped portions are superposed with one another, and an erected position, wherein the U-shaped portions are relatively angularly disposed. The side sections of the back and seat portions and the medial sections of all portions are formed of tubular members connected for relative, telescoping movement between extended and retracted positions when the chair is in the unfolded and folded positions, respectively. A flexible fabric support portion is permanently secured to the back and seat portions by outwardly extending portions of the fabric which are looped around the side and medial sections and stitched to themselves.
