Chair

Abstract

A multi-function chair having a base, a middle support, and a seat. The middle support is disposed between the base and the seat. Short legs extend upward from the front of the base and terminate at the seat. Long legs extend upward from the rear of the base and terminate at an elevation above the seat. A seatback made up of one or more panels is disposed between the long legs. Storage compartments are framed horizontally by the rear edges of the base, middle support, and seat and vertically by the long legs. Additional compartments are framed horizontally by two cross-members and vertically by the long legs may be located at the rear of the seatback at an elevation above the seat. The back walls of the compartments receive interchangeable fascias to change the look and theme of the chair. Additional storage shelves are located under the seat and may have dividers that can also receive interchangeable fascias.
