• Splat: The vertical decorative or supporting panel in the middle of the backrest, commonly found in traditional-style office chairs, serving both structural and decorative functions.
• Stile: The vertical support rods on both sides of the backrest, connecting the backrest to the seat, providing stability and maintaining the shape of the backrest.
• Top rail: The horizontal crossbar at the top of the backrest, usually used to secure the backrest structure or as a decorative element.

2. Seat-related components

• Seat: The sitting surface part of an office chair, directly bearing the weight of the human body, usually composed of a wooden board, sponge, and fabric.
• Apron: The decorative or structural edge at the front of the seat, possibly used to hide the internal frame or enhance aesthetics.
• Ear: The protruding parts on both sides of the seat, possibly used to increase comfort or as connection points for armrests (in some designs).

3. Leg and support structure components

• Front leg: The vertical support leg at the front of an office chair, usually forming a four-legged structure together with the rear legs, with some designs featuring casters.
• Rear leg: The vertical support leg at the back of the chair, symmetrically distributed with the front legs, with some designs connected by crossbars to enhance stability.
• Cross rail: The horizontal crossbar connecting the front and rear legs, possibly located below the seat or in the middle of the legs, used to distribute pressure or secure the structure.
• Cross stretcher: The cross-supporting rod connecting the four legs, commonly found in traditional office chairs, preventing leg deformation and increasing overall strength.

4. Other components

• Crossbar: Although not explicitly mentioned in the reference information, it usually refers to a horizontal rod connecting the legs or the backrest, with a function similar to that of a crossbar.

These terms cover the main structural components of an office chair and are applicable in scenarios such as furniture design, repair, or international procurement.
