Has anyone experimented with the length of time in one sitting until it becomes uncomfortable? 1 - 2 hours? What is the depth of the seat? Thanks!

These are definitely lightweight "for show" stools. The depth of the seat is about 14-1/2" and the back of the seat is such that you might feel a little pitched forward. The base and the foot rails are very lightweight, as well. Down side is they are a bit tippy and undersized. Up side is they are easy to move around and good for "perching". There are super cute and the quality of the seat finish is very attractive. I've used mine around my grand piano with the lid down - very retro!

The chair has great padding on the back and should be good for long hours of sitting. The seat padding is a bit weak. It's great for a short time but may feel a bit hard after a couple hours of sitting.

That sounds like a long time to be sitting on any exercise bike seat. It has been fine for me, in my 1 1/2 hour sessions.

Not long at all. Padding on knee pads too thin. I also have a regular chair I use.

I've had mine for probably 6 months. It's holding up just fine, but I will tell you it's not super comfy. Fine for sitting for short periods, but not much more.

Chairs are very comfortable, office chairs idk, I sit in them for a couple hours with no problem but they don't go to high on back so for 8 hours not sure

The seat is 10 1/2 inches long, 8 1/2 inches wide, and at the thickest part, 3 inches high. I think the nose is too short and the "seat" part too big and too long for anything other than short rides on a cruiser. I put my old seat back on and it's considerably more comfortable than this. I used it just once and was very uncomfortable after. I'm going to put it on a small folding bike I have and see how that works. If not, it will end up at a yard sale......someday.

NOt really The seat is hard and it becomes uncomfortable after a half an hour.

Its a great chair but the positioning of your legs while sitting will cut off circulation. The padding is good except for where you rest your legs, a little too much padding. I would not recommend it for more than 3-4 hours of sitting.

The seat is not uncomfortable, but we purchased it for my husband who had mobility issues. He could not sit back on it enough to do any good, so he never did use it.

I've never sat in the chair for extended periods of time. The max amount of time I've sat in this chair was probably about an hr or so...

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.

Ok, here you go.... The total length of the seat (front to back) is 10.5". At the widest part of the seat (back) it's 6.25" and at the narrowest (front) it's 1.5". The back part of the seat almost appears to have 2 separate cushions for your buttocks. They are each 2.75" wide, with a narrow indentation (guess that's why it's good for your prostrate!). As for depth of the cushioning, it goes from 2.25" at the back, narrowing to 1.5" in the front. Love this seat!!! I have bought these for both my bikes. Friends that have tried my seat have also purchased it. No "getting used to the seat" after having been off it for a while. Instant comfort! We generally ride between 10-20 miles.

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 seat is 18"wide and 14"deep. The seat is padded and is suitable for a temporary seat(45min.to 1 hr.)with no real discomfort.

I guess it depends on your tolerance and how long you plan on sitting down. I have sat on it..but only for a few seconds. If you're comfortable and it feels okay go for it :)

I've gone 2-3 hours, modeling at a table 29" above the floor. No back strain (and I have a bad back), but my knees need the occasional break, so I plant my feet firmly, to give them a rest. I know for a fact, that sitting non-stop for more than 2-3 hours, is risky... we are not built to sit for long periods; this chair helps IMO.
