Abstract

Seats and methods to assemble a seat are disclosed. A method to assemble a seat includes positioning a left arm and a right arm over a seat frame, each of the left and right arms having fabric that covers a left side and a right side of the respective arm. The method also includes wrapping the fabric of the left arm around a left side of the seat frame to cover the left side of the seat frame, and wrapping the fabric of the right arm around a right side of the seat frame to cover the right side of the seat frame. The method further includes positioning a back frame over the seat frame, wrapping fabric of the back frame around a back side of the seat frame to cover the back side of the seat frame, and securing the left and right arms to the seat frame.
