They are alot more comfortable than our wooden chairs we had before and they look lovely. People are always commenting on them. We use them as dinjng chairs.
Only thing is that the legs feel a little flimsy/wobbly and whilst they have a protector underneath they do tend to scratch our wooden floors so we may need to get a rug to go underneath.
The patterned velvet likes to carry loads of crumbs in its' crevices which mean they do need to be hoovered quite regularly. But beautiful otherwise!
