Abstract

A chair assembly includes a main body including an adjusting base, a support frame, and a backrest support rack. The support frame has two opposite sides each formed with a slide slot having a wall formed with a plurality of fixing holes and each having a first end formed with an arcuate positioning recess. The backrest support rack has a horizontal section provided with an adjusting rod slidably mounted in the slide slot and detachably locked in either one of the fixing holes and provided with a fixing rod detachably locked in the positioning recess. Thus, the chair assembly can function as the office chair and the computer chair, thereby enhancing the versatility of the chair assembly.
