Yes. I have several in my office and home office and general sit for long periods of time with no issues.

Yes! We have ordered then for everyone in our office now... Because they were so comfy! We are graphic designers so we sit in front of the computer most of the day and the chairs are great!

I bought this as my home office chair and I work from home. It is very comfortable and the bottom is large enough that I can bring my legs up on the seat when I need a new position. I highly recommend it.

Yes. I love this chair. Great back support and though it looks hard and not well padded, it's a delight to sit in. I'd buy it again.

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.

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.

Yes, these chairs are quite comfortable. I have not sat in them for long periods of time. But, for eating dinner they are just fine. They look hard and are not very padded, but they have a nice contour.

I'm a college student so I have days where I sit in front of my computer all day and I can say the chair is comfortable for long durations of work. It is very large! For that reason the back support is pretty far back. Overall it's a nice chair with great cushioning but if you don't have a big desk to fit the harm rests you won't have good back support.

It is comfortable but not for long sittings....its in our den just as extra chairs. Pretty small too not for the plus size person. Nice though.

I haven't tried as yet - it just isn't warm enough here yet to spend much time outside. But let me just mention, the chair is fine short term. It only gets uncomfortable for me if I spend an hour or so sitting and reading. Then I find I start shifting around a lot to get comfortable, but can't.

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!

Yes it is comfortable but not for a long period. I have a pillow in the back but I still touch the floor

The seat has a little bit of padding. I would say that it is definitely comfortable enough to sit on for 10-30 minutes. Sorry it took me so long to reply!!! 'Tis the season!

I do not think it would be comfortable for hours. It is not thick enough. You might want to upgrade. Also I would recommend a stool with the ring around the bottom to rest your feet on.

That's kinda like asking "How long is a piece of string"? I have back issues and find this chair very comfortable, but I'm only using it for meditation practice. I'm only sitting for about a half hour. Your comfort level will vary depending on length of time you sit and any physical limitations you might have. By all means use a chair if you think you need one.

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.

Yes, it is definitely comfortable to sit in for long periods of time. I have had no issues of back pain or soreness, and my husband has the same report. He even stated he has fallen asleep, very recently, while sitting in the chair.

Absolutely yes, at 194 lbs I find it comfortable for 6 hour stints. I ordered a seat cushion with the chair but seldom use it these days. Plus the canvas seat material breathes very well which helps with coolness. (huge plus for Disney World trips) By the way, This chair is much lighter to lift and load than one might think. My left shoulder is quite damaged so I do it all with the right arm easily.

The chair is firm. It is comfortable for short periods of time like in a reception area. I wouldn't want to sit in it for extended periods of time.
