How long can you sit comfortably in this chair? Are the cushions suitable for long periods of time?

I love my kneeling chair, but it takes some getting used to. I can only kneel in it for about an hour, then I change positions or shift to my other chair.

Once I got used to the chair I can sit in it all day. But, you can't sit in it for 8 hours straight right off the bat. I had to let my body get used to it over the course of about a week. Now I love it and it's the only office chair I use.

I am just under 6 foot, 200 lbs., and I could feel the wood under the cushions the second I kneeled on it. I tried to use it for a bit but it was so uncomfortable that I sent it back and bought a normal chair. I would think the higher priced kneeling chairs are probably worth the money but this one is definately not.

I take hourly breaks and occasionally swap the chair with a standard desk chair, but otherwise I'm fairly comfortable over 8 hours per day. regular chairs stress my back, this kneeling chair is easier on my back but is harder on my legs. Prolonged typing is hard on your body no matter what; yoga helps. I agree with happymom that it takes a couple weeks to get used to the kneeling chair, but after that it's fine. I wouldn't recommend for heavier people because the cushions do depress to the wood easily.

I have sat in it for hours and still felt very comfortable afterwords with no stiffness or soreness

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.

Yes. I really love these chairs. They're very comfortable. The cushion is about 2" thick, and it is supported by a woven platform, which has some "give."

Hi--there is no cushioning. I think it's comfortable, I use it when I write for long periods of time. But you need to keep moving around for it to stay comfortable ( if it gets pushed in for too long, that's not my favorite...) but for me, that's the reason to have this seat--to keep active while sitting so it forces you to think about making adjustments after awhile. I have had it for a few months now and it has been a great help, much improved over the chair. Not sure about a cushion but that's a good idea--I'm sure you could plop one on top if you wanted to.

To be honest with you, the cushions are not to comfortable but they get the job done. Sorry if this doesn't answer your question

The seat is comfortably wide. If you put together tightly, it can last long.

Well, they are metal chairs, so if you are planning on spending hours sitting in them (lots of game nights around the dining room table, for example) then you might want to invest in some cushions to bring out when needed. For just the average mealtime use or sitting for short periods they are perfectly fine. I prefer a firm seat for dining so I like them a lot. (Bonus, if you have little kids they are easy to clean!)

Hi, I use them with my dining room table, they are comfortable I suppose , I don't know about sitting in them for hours, unless you buy cushions , I hope that helps.

They are comfortable to sit in but we don't use them much. I feel if they get used often then the cushion may start to sag and it would no longer be comfrotable.

The chair looks beautiful and is comfortable for a while but I personally don't like sitting on it for extended periods. I feel the metal frame pressing into me.

They are comfortable as far as bar stools go, but I think 8 hrs may be too long. They are not designed with the same back support as an office chair.

I believe after time the reclining would be easy. We use these chairs for our conference room, so they do not get a lot of use. The chair is very comfortable and I think it would be ok for 10 hrs of sitting

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.

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 wouldn't recommend any chair for that long! This chair is very comfortable. I sometimes add a gel pad which makes it even nicer.

The seat cushion is firm but I find it to be acceptable. The metal back can become uncomfortable after prolonged sitting.
