Can I lean back in these chairs? Seems like there's no support. Also if I'm studying at the table, would these be ideal to sit in for long periods?

They're stools, why would you ever lean back? My hey are plenty comfortable though for sitting for a longer period as I have seen and felt

You can't lean back on them, they just give a slight lumbar support, more to push you into a forward position. I could sit in this for a long time, it is just like sitting on a regular hard chair, very slight cushioning. My only complaint is that the foot rest is attached to the swivel so if you want to swivel, which is what I tend to do when I am thinking, you have to grab onto another object.

There is not enough support on back to lean. It is fine to sit for long periods provided you do not need to lean and you weight on seat evenly distributed. Un even distribution of weight may cause seat keep turning to left or right (even you move a bit while sitting on it). I do not recommend this as reading chair because of same reason.

I'm currently using them as dining chairs. They're moderately comfortable, but I am considering buying pillows to place on the seats to add height.

There is a video on the BackJoy website ... www.backjoy.com that shows you how to position these. Someone has commented on this that should not have - these are intended for sitting only - NOT lying down.

In my case,I would not put them indoors.To big and heavy,you have to have a hugh room.Lifting the chair might be a problem too.

Actually, they are quite wobbly..and even worse on carpeting. Cosmetically they are very nice chairs...but IMO if you have a few drinks with these being as wobbly as they are, Id be careful....I would not seat someone over 200 lbs in them...they don't seem too sturdy...

Hi there,It's actually comfortable for short periods. I'm using it for my dining table and I have two of them. For a quick meal or short duration, I like them. You can't really lean back in it, though. Therefore, as an accent chair or lightly used seating, it's good. Hope this helps.

The consensus around here is a resounding YES!! Now, everyone has a different idea of what constitutes comfortable.Regarding the seating portion.they ARE firm,not lofty.However,I personally consider this a plus,as they are easy to rise from and I suspect will keep their shape much longer because of the firmness. The width and height are perfect ,imho, and FAR more generous than I had expected. A GREAT value,great looking and a stunning addition to my living room-I bought a pair,btw. Hope this will be of help to you.

We are about the same size, maybe a little bigger. We have no problems with the chairs. I wouldn't want to spend all day on one (It isn't my Lazy Boy!), but for coffee in the morning or a little break during the day they are fine. We enjoy and use ours every day we can. This is a very well made high quality set.

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.

I use them as accent chairs in my living room but I think they are intended to be dining chairs. Your proposed use sounds like it will look great. I'd recommend chair pads for more comfort. Good luck!

I am unable to help with this. Just purchased my first set of chairs. They are great.

Good question, I bought these chairs for my retail boutique so I've had male and female customers that have sat in my chairs and they were over 150 lbs plus. The chairs are very sturdy and extremely comfortable. I also purchased tossed pillow for each chair to add some style and texture to them. I highly recommend these for a contemporary look.

Not I - they're very, very good for use as pillows but lack the stronger support you would need as a back support. I've seen, at Pottery Barn, I believe, some very nice, up-scale 'study-buddies' that I think would work better for your needs.

If you are a large person, these are not such a good fit because they lean forward slightly making them uncomfortable to sit back and relax. If you are a normal sized or skinny person, these will be a perfect fit. Hope this helps!

I think they're pretty comfy. The back curves to your body and doesn't stick out at all. It's a nice height that works for my son (he's 4ft tall) as well as my BF (he's about 5' 11"). We can all comfortably reach the table and sit back. The arm rests are a nice height as well.

We also have only a basic size dining table which is where we have the chairs. We find the chairs to be comfortable to sit in for eating however, as with any type of "straight chair" find them a little un-comfortable after more than about an hour. As with any chair we find that the old body stiffens up after so long.
