A seat 100 has a fixing element, such as a retention plate (fig.4,134), a seat back 102, and support frame 104. The frame has a first pin 118 connected to a first side rail 106, and a second pin 126 connected to a second side rail 116. The seat back has a first opening 120 for receiving the first pin in a first side of the seat back, and a second opening for receiving the second pin in an opposite side of the seat back. An assembly method is claimed where the first pin is inserted into its opening until a tip 124 of the second pin clears the second side of the seat back to align with, and insert into, its opening, the seat back supported by the pins, the first pin is then secured with the fixing element. Preferably, the first opening is a slot (fig.4a,136) where the first pin is inserted into a first slot section (fig.4a,138), and the seat back moved sliding the pin to a second slot section (fig.4b,140) where it is engaged by the retention plate. The pins may be inserted with the back perpendicular to the rails (fig.5) and then rotated (fig.7).
