Abstract: A pedestal chair has a chassis with a mounting block (16) mounted on the pedestal, a main frame (18) supporting the upholstered seat and back and an intermediate member (20). The block (16) and the intermediate member (20) are pivotally connected about a transverse horizontal axis (22), and the intermediate member (20) is pivotally connected to the main frame (18) about a transverse horizontal axis (28). Blocks of resiliant material (26,32) urge the main frame (18) to a datum position from which it can pivot either forwardly about the rear axis (22) or rearwardly about the forward axis (28), on dependence upon the weight distribution on the chair.
