To provide a chair or the like in which the limbs put on a limb-carrying surface obtained by extending an elastic fabric thereon hardly slip in the depth direction and weariness is not caused but stable ease is given during long term use.

The elastic fabric is woven by using as a warp 11 an inside and outside multifiber yarn having yarn inside and surface both comprising a fiber having ≤20 dtex single fiber fineness, and using as a weft 14 an elastic monofilament yarn 12 having ≥2 times single fiber fineness based on the total fineness of the warp and a surface multifiber yarn 13 having a yarn surface comprising a fiber having ≤20 dtex single fiber fineness, wherein the surface multifiber yarn is used at a ratio of 1/4 to 4 per one elastic monofilament yarn. The ratio of the exposed surface Sa of the surface multifiber yarn to the total exposed surface S of the exposed area of the warp 11a and the exposed area of the weft 12a, 13a, exposed on the surface of the fabric, is ≥20%. The yarn leg X of the surface multifiber yarn at 20 cm woven fabric width is ≥1.04 times of the yarn leg Z of the elastic monofilament.
