A chair is a raised surface used to sit on, commonly for use by one person. Chairs are most often supported by four legs and have a back; however, a chair can have three legs or could have a different shape.

Famous quotes containing the word chair:

“Come leave the loathed stage,
And the more loathsome age,
Where pride and impudence in faction knit
Usurp the chair of wit:
Indicting and arraigning every day,
Something they call a play.
Let their fastidious, vain
Commission of the brain,
Run on and rage, sweat, censure, and condemn:
They were not made for thee, less thou for them.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

“The chair as ideas fits only the bottom as idea.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“I had a chair at every hearth,
When no one turned to see,
With ‘Look at that old fellow there,
‘And who may he be?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
