Actually, the chairs are very comfortable.  They have deep seats so I usually have a pillow behind my back so I can either curl up in the chair or reach the floor with my feet.  The brown is very "beach" and "cape cod" at the same time.  The woven seats are firm and have the right amount of give/squish.  Right now, I have one in a spare bedroom and I like how it gives a textual aspect to the room.
