Abstract: A hinged chair having a seat, a fold-down back and a base that is detachable from the bottom of the seat to enable the chair to be shipped disassembled in a compact container. The fold-down back is hingedly coupled to the seat by pivots that extend through frame posts at opposite sides of the back. To reduce the profile of the chair, the fold-down back is rotatable at the pivots between a vertical position standing upwardly from the seat and a horizontal position lying over and in opposite facing alignment with the seat. With the chair removed from its shipping container and the chair back rotated to its vertical upstanding position, locking pins are pushed through the frame posts of the back above the pivots to lock the back in the vertical position ready for use.
