The furniture is stiff, which I think is a good thing because it won't wear out quickly.  I'm 5'9" and if I put my butt in the back of the seat, my feet don't touch the ground.  If I slouch some they do, and it's fairly comfortable, but most of the time I find myself sitting with one leg pulled up into the chair.

Just be aware that this chair is very deep.  Unless you're 6'-tall, your feet probably aren't going to touch the floor if you're seated against the back of the chair.
