What does the tilt mechanism on a conference chair actually do?

The tilt mechanism lets the back (and sometimes the seat) recline under body weight, reducing back fatigue during longer meetings — common options are basic tilt (back only), synchro-tilt (back moves at a 2:1 ratio to the seat), and knee-tilt (pivots from the front edge). Conference chairs typically use basic or synchro-tilt with a lockout position. FindOfficeFurniture.com specifies the appropriate mechanism based on how long your meetings run — call 888-719-4960.
