A seating unit (110) comprises a support member (118); a seat member (112) pivotally mounted on the support member (118); an arm rest member (120) having an actuating button (230,334) positioned in the arm rest member (120), the button (230,334) being movable between a first position and a second position; a fluid pressure cylinder (172,282) having actuating means (200,310) and operatively connected to the seat member (112) for adjustment of the inclination thereof; and, a flexible cable (214,322) having a first end connected to the button (230,334) and a second end operatively connected to the actuating member (200,310). When the button (230,334) is moved from the first position to the second position, the actuation member (200,310) is actuated so that the inclination of back member (114) or the seat member (112) may be adjusted and when the button (230,334) is moved from the second position to the first position, the inclination of the back member (114) or the seat member (112) is fixed.
