A nesting chair (10) includes a base having a transverse member (20). A backrest (14) and seat (16) are interconnected with the base (12). A seat rotation mechanism (18) is configured to allow the seat (16) to rotate from an initial seating position to an upwardly rotated nesting position. The seat rotation includes a first bearing area (78) defined by an underside (76) of the seat (16), and a second bearing area (88) defined by a separate bearing member (86). The first and second bearing areas (78,88) are located on opposite sides of the transverse member (20). A retainer arrangement (94) is used to secure the bearing member (86) to the seat (16) with the transverse member (20) therebetween. The seat (16) is rotatable about the transverse member (20) from the initial seating position to the upwardly rotated nesting position to enable the nesting chair (10) to be nested with a plurality of like chairs. The transverse member (20) is provided with a stop (64) engageable with the seat (16) for maintaining the seat (16) in the seating position. |
