A chair having a seat 7 and a footrest 11, said footrest being adjustable relative to the seat. A slider assembly 12,15 provides distance adjustment between the footrest and the seat. A pivot assembly 17, independent of said adjustment, provides angular adjustment of the footrest relative to the slider assembly. The slider assembly includes slide element 15 having a straight adjustment axis and guide 13 associated with said element to permit movement along said axis. The slider assembly further comprises a ratchet profile (19, Figure 3) associated with the slide element to extend along the adjustment axis, and a detent (32, Figure 4) associated with the guide to engage the profile whereby the detent prevent sliding movement of the footrest away from the seat. The detent may be a spring-loaded plunger. The pivot assembly may have a pivot axis which extends transverse to the adjustment axis of the slider assembly. The pivot assembly may be carried by a limb (76, Figure 9) which extends from the bottom end of the slide element (75, Figure 9). The pivot assembly may include pivot linkage (110, Figure 12) which connects the limb to a bracket (105, Figure 12) secured to the footrest.
