The present invention relates to chairs, and in particular to a chair which enables the occupant to be seated with correct posture. The invention also provides a novel method of assembly for a chair. The invention provides a chair (10) having a seat assembly (12) for supporting a person sitting on the chair. The seat assembly includes a seat frame (42) and sheet material (32) that is stretched and secured in place relative to the frame to support the weight of a person sitting on the chair by tension forces in the sheet material. The sheet material (32) includes a bead (58) along an edge thereof, the seat frame including an extruded section with a recess (56) into which the bead (58) is located. The bead (58) is secured in the recess (56) by means of a retaining member (60) so as to secure the sheet material (32) under tension to the seat frame (42).
