Abstract
Abstract An adjustable lawn armchair is connected to one end of a pair of longitudinally extending spaced side members, and a footrest portion is connected to the other end thereof. Articulated pairs of supporting legs connect the footrest portion adjustably to spaced grooves in the pair of side members, whereby the footrest portion can be adjusted in its height and inclination to form a raised table in front of the armchair and can be lowered and shifted in the longitudinal direction together with adjustment of the seat and back of the armchair to form a recliner.
