The seat 10 of this embodiment is a seat back 2
The seat cushion is moved downward when the seat cushion 3 is tilted forward, and in particular, the cover member 11 is arranged below the seat cushion 3.

The covering member 11 is made of a thin cosmetic skin material. Around the legs 5 supporting the seat 10,
The main wire 12 is arranged below the outside thereof, and the sub wire 13 is arranged slightly above the inside of the main wire.

Main wire 12 and sub wire 13
Are supported by a plurality of support members 15 extending downward from the seat cushion frame 14 inside the seat cushion 3.
