Abstract: A component for a stackable chair comprises a cuboidal basic body (1) which has two leg stubs (2, 3) on one longitudinal side and two crossmember stubs (4, 5) on its other longitudinal side. The two ends (6, 7) of the basic body (1) are bevelled in the forward and rearward directions at the sides, and noses (8, 9) which run parallel to the leg stubs (2, 3) are provided on the underside of the basic body (1), and channels (10, 11) are provided above the noses (8, 9), on the top side. The chair comprises two identical components of this type. If such a chair is stacked vertically on another, identical chair, then the bevelled ends (6, 7) of the basic body (1) have a centring effect and bring the chair into the correct position, with the result that the noses (8, 9) on the chair stubs (2, 3) enter into the channels (10, 11) on the top side of the basic body of the lower chair.
