I use the chair daily, for hours at a time. It is quite comfortable, for me, and gives plenty of back support when seated correctly, not slouching.

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.

The frame is really sturdy however the leather has begun to rip on the edges on mine and I believe that is just from repeated use/ a stress point. I would not recommend this chair for comfort or durability, regardless of weight of the user.

Hi there - the chair is fine for occasional seating but probably not the most comfortable for long periods of time since it is metal with a seat pad. I use the chair for my balcony and have sat in it for an hour or two at a time and never felt it was uncomfortable. The chair has a slightly deeper seat so your bottom is a little lower than a standard flat bottom chair. That is a little noticeable when getting out of the chair but it's part of the seat being lower and has no impact on seating comfort. In sum, I think the chair looks great, well-enough constructed especially for the price and is comfortable for an occasional chair.

If you are looking for a traditional chair it is quite comfortable. It is not a cushy chair, you don't sink into it. However, it is solid and comfortable at the same time.

What's comfortable for me is a medium rock. The chairs swivel and rock just fine.

We use our chairs for approximately 8+ hours per day at my office, and the seat is comfortable. I agree with Ryan B. about the back, as I have found myself leaving back a good bit (versus sitting straight like my old chair). Overall, however, it is a very comfortable chair, and I'm happy with it.

The chair has great padding on the back and should be good for long hours of sitting. The seat padding is a bit weak. It's great for a short time but may feel a bit hard after a couple hours of sitting.

I've had the chair since January of this year. I use it often and love it. I've had no issues with wear or tear.

It is not too comfortable to sit in for long periods of time. I have it as an accent chair for color.

Sorry to say but do not use this chair for everyday use like for patients. I sit for reading and looking at my laptop but it doesn't have enough cushion for siting on.

My husband is 280 and uses it at work. He has not had any problems with the chair at this point bought it back in early December I think. Hope this helps.

The chair can be used for minimual use. I would not recommend using as the "everyday" chair. I am able to sit in it without any cracking but I don't sit on everyday!Hope this help!

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.

The chair is very comfortable, cannot answer about durable, have not had it long enough to tell. Great chair for the price. We love ours.

I'd say it's about mid-upper back and very comfortable. I am a heavy person and have plenty of room and sturdiness. The only issue i have is that the extra wide comfort comes with a price when you live in an older built home... the chair doesn't fit through my bathroom door and is a little more difficult to navigate through the others in the house as well. Hope this helps.
