A reclining chair including a seat frame and a base is disclosed. The seat frame is suspended from pivot connectors that are connected between right and left side stand members and right and left sides of the seat frame by means of plates that include a arcuate slot. Locking members are received in the slots and are used to lock the seat frame relative to the base in a range of angular orientations as defined by arcuate slots formed in the plates. The seat frame is spring biased into an upright position when the locking members are released.
