Abstract
A chair (10) has a composite structure (14) attached to a frame (12). The composite structure includes a plastic plate (16) having an edge (22), and a metal plate (18) having a peripheral crimp (21) including a gap (20), with the edge of the plastic plate inserted into the gap and with the peripheral crimp clamped onto the edge of the plastic plate, to attach the plastic plate onto the metal plate. The composite structure provides a seating surface of the chair. The composite structure maximizes the advantages of both the plastic plate and the metal plate, with each plate compensating for the disadvantages of the other.
