A chair has a metal base, a matrix of metal tubes having a common outside and an inside diameter, welded orthogonal to the metal base, extending vertically, and a matrix of posts matching the matrix of metal tubes, the posts bored for a portion of a length of each post, with each post engaged over one of the metal tubes. The chair is characterized in that one row of posts along one edge of the metal base comprises posts of a height greater than other posts, and forms a backrest for the chair, and in that the remaining matrix of posts, of a lesser height than the posts forming the backrest, are of a common height, and form a seat surface for the chair.
