It's a great looking chair. I love the aesthetics of it. It's comfortable to sit in for short stretches. I don't know that I'd plop down into it for a 2 hour movie. For that, the seat part would need to be more 'cushiony'  I bought this chair to be in my studio. I wanted something that looked good / fit the decor and that I could take a break from sitting at my desk. Somewhere to sit, in my space and listen to records in a relaxing way. This chair suits that need.
