Benefits of technology

[0005] A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a chair with an adjustable height seat. The height may be adjusted by the inclusion or exclusion of a set of components that may be fastened to the legs or base of the chair to adjust the height of the chair. The components may be embodied as the leg extenders, an apron, or some other form that fits into the structure of the chair. The components may be easily attached to, or removed from, the chair as the consumer desires in order to adjust the height of the chair.

Problems solved by technology

Consumers may purchase seats of different heights according to their needs and wishes, although most consumers are currently limited by the seat heights offered by manufacturers.
Additionally, a change in ownership of the seat or a number of other factors, including a change in décor, may cause the consumer to wish to change the seat height.
Furthermore, a typical consumer is unable to easily lower the height of the seat by cutting the seat legs.
