These chairs looked beautiful in person and they looked like they'd be comfortable but the high back and high rounded sides curving around your body prevents you from leaning back at all.  In fact, you are pushed forward a little.  I had to return them.  If they were for occasional use in a bar I might have kept them based on how pretty they are in the light blue that I needed, but I wanted them for a kitchen island that the family sits around for hours during get togethers, and so comfort is key.
