Is there a standard for chair back degrees...

[Bill Huber]

I am prototyping a chair and was looking around and have really not found anything that states and so type of a standard for the degrees a chair back should be.

This would be just a wooden chair, just not straight backed but a little angel to the back.

So what should that angle be, at this point 5 degrees looks good.

The set of 6 I did in the Fall had a 6 degree angle which worked well so I guess 5 is reasonable...

Ok, thanks, I started a 6 and thought that was to much and pulled it down one. I will go with 5 and see out it comes out. I can always add the degree back in on the real chair.
