is it comfortable to sit on?

It's not scratchy... But it's not soft either... It's no more uncomfortable than a tub without a mat... Just safer.

It's not the most comfortable thing in the world, but I didn't mind sitting on it for extended periods of time. As for the size, I am about six feet tall and it felt just a little bit too small for me.

The chair is very comfortable once you get in. You are almost laying down, and it feels almost as hummock. I am not sure what specific characteristics you mean by "comfortable for reading", but rocking does not feel exactly the same as any rocker, because you are not sitting up. It is not suitable for someone with movement limitations: my 88 years old father, who is slightly overweight, had trouble getting out of the chair. Other than that, I still love the chair enough to bring it inside in winter to use it for relaxation practices.

yes. the seat slides back and forth. so you should be able to get it to a comfortable level.

I wouldn't want to sit in this chair for a long period of time but for dining or sitting for short periods of time I think it is comfortable. I agree with the other comments about the sturdiness of the chair, I wouldn't recommend the chair for anyone much over 200lbs.

I checked and I could sit on it. It wasn't real comfortable but probably fine for a child. This was a great investment for me. I'm very pleased with it.

Not really. It is more for looks than comfort. I don't sit on mine that much.

I found it comfortable to sit on for very short durations. Anything over 15 minutes and it was uncomfortable on my knees. My body geometry might be different than yours so I can't say how it'll work for you.

In my opinion, definitely not. It is a beautiful chair...it is not a comfortable chair. I love it so much as a pretty piece to put in a room we don't use often, but I would never lounge in it, as it is stiff.

Haven't had an issue with comfort. You can sit up or lay back in the chair. Love the purchase and my kids love it too.

Yes - the shape makes it more comfortable than you might think. I sit in it a few hours at a time when working on my computer with no problems. It comes with a thin seat cushion that makes it more comfortable.

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.

Relatively is the key word. Yes, for this type of chair they are relatively comfortable.

Well, I'd say no. This chair is very comfortable, but you really cannot sit up.

Yes but not comfortably. My husband, friends and I all sit in it but not for longer than a few minutes. But we fit.

As seats of this type, I think it is comfortable. It is a little nicer than your basic seat. This is a nice bike.

Yes. They are very comfortable. The seats are soft and since they have a back to them, they are very comfy. I had some friends over and they say in them for hours and they commented that they were comfortable.
