An adjustable seat assembly which comprises a seat bottom and a seat back, a reclining mechanism for connecting the seat back to the seat bottom for the adjustment of the tilt of the seat back relative to the seat bottom, a slide mechanism for mounting the seat bottom on a support surface for the adjustment of the position of the seat in a direction along the support surface, and a multifunctional handle supported for movement in at least first and second directions for controlling the reclining and slide mechanisms, respectively. Where the seat assembly further comprises a seat lifting mechanism for the adjustment of the height of the seat above the support surface, the handle may be rendered movable also in a third direction, in which case the first and second are opposite to each other and the third direction is perpendicular to any one of the first and second directions.
