Comfortable after I replaced the back pillows which are too plump for the size chairs. They are overstuffed and so, take up half the seating space. I happened to have two throw pillows which look attractive and, being thinner and softer, don't push out into the seating area. Some reviews have mentioned that the cushions are hard. The seat cushion feels6that way at first but softens up after a little use. Overall, I like these better than any of the much higher priced chairs in local retail stores.
