A chair tilt control mechanism for a pedestal base chair having a chair control housing mounted on the pedestal chair base and pivotally supporting a chair seat support member. A laterally movable front stop member retained within the chair control housing is movable and contacts the front flange of the chair seat support member and limits the pivotal movement of the chair seat support member to predetermined angular positions with respect to the chair control housing and the floor supporting the chair. Also disclosed is a lever member adapted to lock the chair seat support member in one or more predetermined angular positions. Also disclosed is a hollow plastic pivot pin for pivotally connecting a chair control housing to a chair seat support member.
