A method of constructing a chair is used to attach a flexible envelope portion to a support structure. The flexible envelope portion includes two layers of fabric material, with an opening proximate one side. The support structure includes first and second spaced-apart rails having a plurality of studs engaged by a plurality of cross braces. Initially, the rails are held apart by a resilient wire member which is attached to the top of each rail. The structure is inserted within the flexible envelope, and the rails are spaced apart to provide tension to the flexible envelope. The plurality of cross braces are attached to the rails to maintain the tension in the envelope. The wire member and the flexible envelope have an arcuate shape which provides an aesthetically pleasing contour to the top of the back of the chair. Additionally, the wire member provides head support, adding to the overall comfort of the chair.
