Yes, they do recline, but don't swivel. We got them at Jysk, (I think that's how it's spelled), but, I had to fabricate alot on the base of these seats, (includine cutting and welding), to get them to work in this application, so it would be very hard to copy. A big problem I ran into was the height of the base (on the slide out), off of the floor...it pretty much precludes using just any seat by removing the base. These seats originally swiveled and reclined... they are living room furniture, but I think office chairs may work better as far as fit...don't know for sure. Just wanted to show what I'd done and get you all thinkin'.
