A collapsible item of furniture such as a chair is disclosed as having a back-rest portion connected by a serrated means in continual meshed engagement with a serrated means connected to posterior leg portions so that the back-rest and posterior leg portions rotated concurrently with one another and relative to a seat or lying base. The serrated means are part of an articulating means comprising a pair of bowl-shaped housings encompassing the serrated means which rotate about stub shafts in the bowl-shaped housings. Anterior leg portions are connected at central locations to the front of the seat base and at upper ends to an arm rest means which, in turn, is connected to the back rest.
