Very comfortable but if you are on the heavier side, you may not feel them to be sturdy, yet they are. Once you assemble them, one leg is sometimes off the floor slightly so it seems to tilt but once you sit on them, it doesn't tilt or move. Only happened with 2 of ours. The material is not the greatest for hand prints especially if you have any cream or oil on your hands, it will show right away. Easy to wipe off though. Over all they are very good chairs for what you pay!
