Abstract: A rocking chair includes a seat, a backrest that is tiltable rearward, a locking spring portion that imparts resistance to the rearward tilting of the backrest, and a resilience adjustment member that changes the degree of resistance of the spring portion to the rearward tilting of the backrest. The resilience adjustment member is a cam that is rotationally operable by a person seated on a seat and the position in which rocking load due to the rearward tilting of the backrest is applied to the spring portion is changed by the cam, so that moment applied to the spring portion changes and the degree of resistance of the spring portion is adjusted.
