I've been using this gold Chiavari chair as a desk chair at home, maybe sitting in it for about a few hours per week, and it's holding up well and looks very elegant and attractive, especially with my pale grey desk that has similar gold hardware.  I am using a seat cushion with the chair (from Wayfair), and I think a cushion is probably necessary with this type of chair for much comfort beyond sitting for 20 minutes or so.  I'm using the chair on hardwood floors, so I managed to remove (with some difficulty) the slightly rough plastic caps under the legs and replace those with felt.  Now it slides easily across the floor without scratching the wood finish.
