1. A furniture member comprising: a base assembly including a pair of rails extending parallel to each other between front and rear portions of the base assembly, each of the rails including a track and a stop plug at least partially received in a front end of the track; a frame assembly including a base frame, a seatback frame and a seat bottom frame, the seatback frame being rotatably coupled to the base frame, the seat bottom frame being movably coupled to the seatback frame such that rotation of the seatback frame causes corresponding movement of the seat bottom frame relative to the seatback frame and the base frame; and a tilt mechanism supporting the base frame and coupled to the seat bottom frame, the tilt mechanism including drive links and side plates that slidably engage the tracks such that rotation of the seatback frame relative to the base frame causes the drive links and side plates to slide along the tracks, thereby translating the base frame relative to the base assembly, each of the side plates including a bearing that contacts one of the stop plugs when the seatback frame is in a fully reclined position, wherein a pair of base stop members are fixedly attached to the base frame, the base stop members are spaced apart from the stop plugs when the seatback frame is in the fully reclined position and abut the stop plugs when the seatback frame is in an upright position.
