Adjustable Steel Office Chair Frame

A height-adjustable steel frame for office chairs, complete with casters for mobility. Although it is a part of a seat, chapter note 2(b) allows seats and beds to be classified in headings 94.01 to 94.03 even if not designed for floor placement, and this frame is an integral part of an office seat.
