A concrete floor system comprising bar chairs, at least two or more reinforcements and undulating sheet metal formwork, for forming a concrete slab having one or more concrete ribs, the sheet metal formwork including at least one trough comprising respective sides and a base having a base width and formed from undulations in the sheet metal formwork, said bar chairs including seating means for locating and supporting the reinforcements wherein: (a) the bar chairs have a generally “M”shaped configuration and have a width slightly less than the base width for allowing location of said bar chairs in the trough, such that the bar chairs are able to be freely located within said trough by being dropped thereinto, the width of the bar chairs being sufficient to allow such location and to accurately locate the bar chairs within said trough; (b) the seating means of each bar chair forms a seat cavity of such width and depth accommodating two or more reinforcements to be freely dropped, placed and maintained entirely within the width and depth of said seat cavity; and (c) the seating means of said bar chairs, the width of the bar chairs and the depth and width of each trough being so formed and dimensioned, such that on said bar chairs being located within said trough, and on said reinforcements being so located and maintained within said seating means, the bar chairs and reinforcements are contained and maintained entirely within the depth of each trough.
