Pretty nice chair - especially for the price. YES it tilts, no it doesn't fully recline. It's a desk/office chair. Very easy installation. I will say though that there is an incorrect picture for the remote. It's actually more fancy and better looking. Maybe the picture is from an older model. The massage function is nice. I tried the heat but i don't know how good it is since it's still warm where i live. I've only had this chair for a few days but so far so good.
