A new easy-assemble seatback includes a seatback frame adapted to be connected to a seat. The seat back frame has a pair of opposite sides. The frame supports at least two flexible panels from a top panel connection so the panels hang and rotate freely from the connection on the frame. The panels are formed from a flexible material which may include wood, metal, metal alloy or plastic. Panel-to-frame assembly is done by hand. The frame includes a stop member connected to the frame that impedes free rotation of the flexible panels. Since the panels cover most all of the load bearing seatback area, fewer metal supportive elements are necessary. The new seatback is longer lasting, lighter in weight and more deployable as a result.
