Compactly foldable wingback chair

A collapsible wingback chair that includes a seat base portion and to which is secured a lower portion of a pair of side wings that include upper portions that are movable relative to a chair back that is pivotally mounted so as to be movable between an upright position when the chair is in use to a folded position in overlaying relationship with the base with the upper portions of the side wings also being folded relative to the base to thereby form a compact configuration for handling, shipping and storage. The side wings are selectively secured to the chair back when the back is in a raised position to thereby permit use of the chair in a conventional manner.
