The padding is comfortable. The style and look is also modern and slick. The chair size is just too small. It feels like its made for ages 7 thu 15. One chair broke after having friends over for a night of poker. It says it's rated for 300 lbs. My friend who sat in the chair for a couple hours is 260 lbs. Wayfair customer service did take care of this, I would rate customer service at 5 stars
