is it comfortable to sit on as a couch (i.e. with a coffee table in front of it?)

Due to its very straight back, i wouldn't recommend it as a substitute for a couch/sofa. We use it in the dining room with throw pillows which make it quite comfortable when dining, but it is not comparable to an actual sofa. It is similar to a dining room chair or bench.

Not really. It is pretty firm and straight back. I have it in a foyer so we really dont use it like that

It is comfortable bc it has a nice high back to lean on. However, I use it at my kitchen table so I dont sit on it for hours at a time like you would while watching a movie. Its a nice setee and has held up well this last year. Mine is gray and I protect it by spraying it down with Scothguard spray.

No, this couch is not the kind to seat and relax on, this is a very firm couch. I bought it for my dining room and although is nice we can't seat there for hours.

I agree with everyone who replied. The couch is 'firm' but not in an uncomfortable way. We've had ours for a few months and it's softened a bit, but it's still great.

The couch is low to the ground. Honestly, it's not that comfortable as a couch. We have it in our gameroom more as an extra bed.

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

It's not uncomfortable, however, we mostly bought the chair for style. Now that the chair is broken in a bit it's not bad to sit in.

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.

Miranda, I'll be honest with you. It's a great piece of furniture for the money. It is narrow and hard in some spots, but I will say that it serves its purpose. You won't be able to enjoy a day of lounging on it or anything like that. I haven't broken it yet, I'm proud to say. I am looking for another more comfy couch at the moment and giving this one to my dad for his man cave.

It's not the most comfortable sofa, but definitely not the worst. It's pretty low and deep so you sit somewhat in a reclining position. I find it a great buy for the price, but I am sure you could get something more comfortable if you want to spend for it.

I think you could physically lay down on it, but I don't know that you would want to. This is as "Have a seat and chat for a few minutes" sofa. Great for a lobby or waiting room.

I'm not sure I would use it as a coffee table unless I put glass on top of it. We just use it as extra seating.

It is comfortable. My only caveat in the comfort factor is that it has no arms, so some my find it awkward. My cocktail table has ottomans that pull out from under it, that helps. As far as the size and cushions go, I would give that a yes.

Yes it is. I find that a lot of people comment on the comfort of the padding. It is a very nice table all around.

It won't provide comfortable seating, may be a bit too high. Also as you mentioned somewhat rounded top may prove uncomfortable. Short term seating and "in a pinch" seating would probably be OK.

Not really. The cushions are so comfortable that I can't imagine why you would want to use these chairs without. They would be hard and cold to sit on but I guess if you compare them to other hard metal chairs...then perhaps you could say they are comfortable.

It can actually be used as a couch. However, it is not overly comfortable as one of the bars hits me in the lower back when I lean back.

No. This is not a comfy chair. Sits very hard. More for show & short visits.

Yes , that is how I prefer it, as it makes the seating posture higher; When used as a bed I suggest at least an 8" or 10 " good mattress since there are spaced slots on the futon.
