How comfortable are they for longer periods of sitting?

Not bad. The foot rest seems pretty strong. I haven't used it to sit for hours.

I find them very comfortable. Could be used daily for meals. Would make an ideal substitute for a kitchen chair. I have only used them for holiday meals which usually last for 1-2 hours.

Guess it depends on the person, but my wife will sit on them for over an hour with no problem. I'll usually be on them for a max of 30 mins but have never thought they were uncomfortable.

I don't have the same problem as zuiichi. I've sat in the chair for a couple hours straight without feeling uncomfortable. I don't know what your opinion of a long period of time is, but I'd say if you're going over an hour or two, look into something bigger and leather that also has more cushion. I'm used to my old chair which was a plastic folding chair with no cushion at all, so to me, this is a nice comfortable chair.

They are comfortable to sit in but we don't use them much. I feel if they get used often then the cushion may start to sag and it would no longer be comfrotable.

Yes, the chairs are comfortable. We have had them for four months - and guests often remark how comfortable they are to sit in. We keep meaning to order some cushions... we think that would be nice, but we may not bother... they do not seem to be missed.

they are comfortable I have mine with a back pillow but I just use them as accent chairs. they are not very high so it depends on your table height.

they are comfortable, but the back isn't super high, so if you're someone who needs a lot of back support I'd look elsewhere. we use them in our kitchen at the bar for meals etc, but haven't used them for hours at a time

That's kinda like asking "How long is a piece of string"? I have back issues and find this chair very comfortable, but I'm only using it for meditation practice. I'm only sitting for about a half hour. Your comfort level will vary depending on length of time you sit and any physical limitations you might have. By all means use a chair if you think you need one.

They were only slightly uncomfortable right out of the box, but only after wearing for six hours or more at a time (I bought them right before studying for my comprehensive exams so I had them on quite a bit). I would have initially put them at a 2, I suppose. I have had them for about three months and no longer find them uncomfortable at all. I should also mention that I have a fairly large head (about 58.5 cm). They seem to be hit-or-miss, in terms of comfort, but they most certainly become more comfortable over time.

I found them to be quite comfortable, for I used them to study and to eat. At that height, I remember doing a physical exam...was an RN for Insurance company...and he stood instead of sitting at this height. He found sitting made him off-focus whereas standing make his mission be accomplished faster. Of course having meetings in his area were short for there was no place to sit! The foot rest is also good. Just don't let your cats around them if they have claws. Hope this helps.

Who cares how comfortable they are? They look good, and that's what counts! If you want comfortable, I would suggest a recliner.

They're not necessarily cushy, but they are fairly comfortable, and they aren't cold. I sit on mine for breakfast and some reading every morning. It's a good stool.

Mine are very comfortable to wear. I tend to wear them for several hours at a time and almost forget I have them on because I'm so used to them.

I'm 5'11" and they aren't the best to sit on for long periods of time. Pillows help and if you slouch down and put your feet up there's no problem. But they are pretty low in the back.

I'd call these casual dining chairs. Yes, they're comfortable. I added nail-on casters to the feet for smoother sliding, which added 1/4" to height.

Yes, these chairs are quite comfortable. I have not sat in them for long periods of time. But, for eating dinner they are just fine. They look hard and are not very padded, but they have a nice contour.

My husband, for whom I bought this chair, answers: "Very!" He says it's continuously comfortable for a long duration of sitting.

Pretty comfortable to sit on for an hour or two. We use them on our kitchen island and there are no complaints from the kids, my wife or I.
