What is a tilt mechanism on a conference chair?

A tilt mechanism allows the chair back (and sometimes seat) to recline under the user's body weight, reducing back fatigue during extended meetings. Common mechanisms include basic tilt (back only tilts), synchro-tilt (back tilts at 2:1 ratio to seat), and knee-tilt (pivots from front edge). Conference chairs typically use basic tilt or synchro-tilt with a lockout position. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, we specify the appropriate mechanism for meeting duration — call 1-800-460-0858.
