My main concern is comfort. How is sitting in this chair for extended periods of time? I'm considering this chair or one with a leather seat

It's really not bad at all. I have lower back problems, so sitting for long periods of time is usually not my favorite thing, but I like this chair comfort-wise more than most.

Purchased for 15 yr old grandson. Spends lot of time playing games, doing homework, etc. He would definitely have told me if it wasn't comfortable. Has relaxing positions which is good for putting feet up on stool or bed. He put it together himself, too.

I love this chair and spend many hours a day in it. I have a fussy back so I use the Contour Kabooti for added comfort.

I find the chair comfortable. I have sat in it for 4 to 6 hours at a time, and have had no problems. Keep in mind I have no back problems or any other issues. I am sure there is a more comfortable chair out there, but you will probably pay a lot more for it. This is good comfort for a good price in my opinion.

These chairs are firm but not hard...to me they are the most comfortable chairs I own, and I can sit in them for hours. I am very comfortable sitting with good posture. My dear hubby loves our very soft leather couches better, but says these chairs are quite comfortable even for him.

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

It's pretty comfortable. I have spent about 8 hours in the chair consecutively and have never had an issue with stiffness or discomfort.

I have been sitting on one of these chairs for 8-9 hours a day, 5 days a week (at work), for a couple of years. I love it! It provides "active" sitting opportunities and my abdomen has become tighter as a result and my posture has improved. The padded bar you see pictured is not a backrest but more of a "grab bar" to assist in getting on/off the chair. There is not back support; no leaning back. My only complaint would be that the casters lock into place with just the slightest touch, like when my foot barely kicks one. Then I have to reach down and unlock it. Not really a big deal, but somewhat annoying. I have been sitting on one of these chairs for 8-9 hours a day, 5 days a week (at work), for a couple of years. I love it!

I have had this for 3 months and pretty sure it is genuine leather. It has been a great chair. I am in it for 8-10 hours a day up and down all day and it has been VERY comfortable and supportive. Highly recommend!

Mrs H I sat in a friend's chair and absolutely loved it. Nice high back support, headrest, and can leave your legs out or have your knees bent. I found it very comfortable for the 15 minutes I was in it. I have to say that I'm 6'7" . I'm getting one ASAP.

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.

Chair is very comfortable. I bought it about 4 months ago and am using it every day. No problem up to now. The leather is not of the first quality though but you get what you pay for.

I enjoy the chair. It was fine when sitting. I did not spend long spans of time on it, but experienced no discomfort.

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.

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.

First, I love these chairs. They are awesome and look great in my kitchen. Occasionally, I will sit back and have never noticed any discomfort. My back touches the top bar. Most times, especially when eating, you are leaning forward or sitting upright, so I don't think it is a real issue. The padding on the chair was more of a concern for me and these are wonderfully padded chairs. They are very comfortable. I hope this answers your question.

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.

This chair doesn't really work for long periods of time. I'm not much smaller than you height and size wise and I fit pretty well in the chair. My main problem is that the cushion you sit on starts to sink in, especially during marathon gaming sessions because of the ottoman factor of it. The back also causes you to sit up straighter than I like while gaming. Still a pretty decent chair for short periods of time. Hope this helps.

I love this set but "comfortable" ? It's metal, so I'm not sure how to answer it... I wouldn't sit in it for hours... But it isn't uncomfortable....
