Is the chair comfortable to sit on for long periods of time?

if the chair fits you, it is very comfortable. if you have very long or very short legs, it may not be. if you are a large person, it may not be. for the average person, it is extremely comfortable. i have sat in it for hours sewing without a problem.

So far, so good -- not sure anyone has sat on it for longer than an hour or so, but it seems very comfortable!

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...

No, unfortunately this chair has a big problem with cutting off circulation in the legs after just a few minutes. It is especially apparently in the thigh area---while sitting, it feels as though you are steadily bruising like an old piece of fruit.

I don't have the same problem as zuiichi. I've sat in the chair for a couple hours straight without feeling uncomfortable. I don't know what your opinion of a long period of time is, but I'd say if you're going over an hour or two, look into something bigger and leather that also has more cushion. I'm used to my old chair which was a plastic folding chair with no cushion at all, so to me, this is a nice comfortable chair.

My husband, for whom I bought this chair, answers: "Very!" He says it's continuously comfortable for a long duration of sitting.

Hi. It is comfortable to sit on. It is a bit squared off in the back. It is easy to clean and looks nice and shiny. best of luck

It doesn't really recline but, I find it comfortable to sit in for long periods of time. I think it varies per person but this is one of the most comfortable office chairs I've ever had.

Jane, they are quite comfortable as bar or kitchen chair. Not sure about long hours sitting. Caution: the base is not as heavy as other swivel bar stool.

Yes, the cushion seat is comfortable and it is firm. You will not feel the bottom of the chair.

It's not designed to be. Seat would be very comfortable. I have sat on it for a short period of time.

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.

No, it is not comfortable for long periods of time. It is rather heavy and you will feel like the very top of your head is bruised (because it is).

I've had this chair for about 6 months. I think it is very comfortable, and works for long sitting sessions. It does a very comforting rocking setting, and it is to turn off the rocking as well.Lee

This chair is very, very comfortable, even after a few hours. I will say, if you're not real nimble and have to get up and down a lot, it can be troublesome because you have to almost roll off and the push up from a kneeling position. The chair has held up very well in the year I've owned it. The ratchet positioning still works great and no signs of wearing out. My ONLY complaint is that over time, the cushioning in the area where the seat meets the back (where your butt sits) has compressed, so that now when I sit in it, I can feel a bar under my butt. I now have to us a thin pillow in that area to be more comfortable. If they could improve this one area, (maybe memory foam?) it would be perfect!

Hi I am happy with the seat. I use it for 9 hours every day. In my opinion The cushion is high density. Seat is very comfortable.

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.

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.

We use it for dining, but tend to sit at the table for a long time. The chair is very comfortable.

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.

It is certainly sturdy enough to sit on for extended periods. My wife used it and never complained about comfort sitting. However, I do not recall if she ever sat on it for 30 minutes straight. She did like using it better than using a wheel chair.
