Seating arrangement with seat and back rest that adjust together to recline

A seat assembly having a seat and a back rest that adjust together to facilitate reclining, the seat assembly comprising:

• a base coupled to a back-rest frame,
• wherein the base remains substantially fixed relative to synchronized adjustment of the seat and the back rest, and
• wherein the back-rest frame includes a pivot on which the back rest rotates to adjust a back-rest recline position;
• the seat hingedly coupled to the back rest;
• a fore-and-aft adjuster that couples the seat to the base and that enables the seat to move forward and rearward relative to the base;
• a movement restrictor attached to the seat and the base that biases the seat in a rearward orientation;
• and
• a pivot receiver coupled to the back rest,
• wherein the pivot receiver includes a pivot-receiver channel,
• wherein the pivot is slidably coupled in the pivot-receiver channel, and
• wherein the pivot receiver includes a backrest-mating channel, the back rest being secured in the backrest-mating channel.
