I'd like to use this as a desk chair. Is the seat comfortable enough to sit on for long periods of time, or is it really more of a dining chair?

I agree with the previous answers. The chair is very small and the siting surface and back support are rather hard for long period of sitting, not comparable to the office chairs on the market that have high back support and contoured, well cushioned surface. It is an elegant chair and could be used as a desk chair in small space. In that case, one may consider getting extra cushions for the sitting and back.

We use it for dining, but tend to sit at the table for a long time. The chair is very comfortable.

It's better as dining chair...seat front digs into the back of my legs after awhile.

The seat isn't that bad but the wood digs into my back after a while. If you normally sit up straight it would not be a problem but reclining for any period of time may hurt. Hope that helps.

It's just a casual dining chair. Not very comfortable for long periods of time.

I've had this chair for about 6 months. I think it is very comfortable, and works for long sitting sessions. It does a very comforting rocking setting, and it is to turn off the rocking as well.Lee

It is pretty comfortable, however, the seat does raise in the center, which some may not like, but is cushioney. I have 4 chairs in my game room and we enjoy them when we are gaming, playing cards or other board games. I suppose it would work for a casual dining chair. The back and arms are comfortable. The back hits about where a bra would attach in the back. It would be nice if you could try one before you bought. Perhaps check around your area and see if anyone carries them. Worse case senerio, buy one and if you hate it, return it. It's a hasstle I know, but I would hate for you to spend your money on something that does not work for you.

I do not think it would be comfortable for hours. It is not thick enough. You might want to upgrade. Also I would recommend a stool with the ring around the bottom to rest your feet on.

It is certainly sturdy enough to sit on for extended periods. My wife used it and never complained about comfort sitting. However, I do not recall if she ever sat on it for 30 minutes straight. She did like using it better than using a wheel chair.

I wouldn't recommend any chair for that long! This chair is very comfortable. I sometimes add a gel pad which makes it even nicer.

This is not a desk chair, it is a gaming chair. It leans backward, not forward or upright. Not meant for PC gaming in the office. It is a comfortable chair for gaming and viewing a TV in a semi reclined position.

Hi Jessica, this chair should be comfortable for 8+ hours a day, but if you have back issues or need additional support we would recommend looking for a chair that has adjustable lumbar support. This might be a better option for more back support because it has more ergonomic adjustabilities: http://www.247workspaceexpress.com/RTA-9105-ERGONOMIC-OFFICE-CHAIR/dp/B00CEZ7Q3I Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any more questions!

I really like these chairs and they are very comfortable for how I use them. I use them around my kitchen counter. I don't think I would use them to sit for 8 hours in an office.

No, it's pretty comfortable. I haven't sat on it for an extended period of time, but it's nice.

I find the chair comfortable. I have sat in it for 4 to 6 hours at a time, and have had no problems. Keep in mind I have no back problems or any other issues. I am sure there is a more comfortable chair out there, but you will probably pay a lot more for it. This is good comfort for a good price in my opinion.

If you want to relax for the evening, probably not. These are just "occasional" accent chairs so they aren't really built for real comfort. They are comfortable for sitting, like for a group gathering. I'm sure if you had an ottoman for your feet you could be comfortable enough for a 1 hour program.

It is pretty comfortable, as the padding in the seat is good, and you're not just sitting on metal. However, I do get tired of sitting in it after a couple of hours or so, when I'm at the computer. It's a good solid, comfortable chair, but you might throw a padded seat cushion on it if you are sitting that long. It is a folding chair after all, and not like sitting in a recliner.

I sat in mine working from home one day and got uncomfortable after about 2 hours. Good for a bar stool but I wouldn't use it as an office chair.

It's a great chair but I don't think it would be good for a computer chair. It sits too low and leans too far back to be comfortable. I love the chair though. Hope this helps.

I use it as a desk chair. I sit on it for at least 40 hours a week. I have the largest size. It is firm enough to keep you at a decent height. I purchased this brand of ball after having issues with a squishier brand of ball. I'm completely satisfied with my purchase. The pump that's included is better than any other I've used so far.

Yes its great for sitting. Right height and surprisingly comfortable. Really a great buy. I got them for trade shows and many many people sat on them and they kept up well. The storage is really nice too. I wouldn't hesitate to get one for my home. Hope this helps- ag
