I love this piece, as well as its matching sofa. I myself don't find them particularly comfortable in that they feel a bit "hard" upon sitting on them, but this works well for me since I have them more for the visual effect than for actual use. If they're going to be the furniture you hang out on a lot, you may just want to know that they don't (to me) seem particularly cushy or soft. They're also a little bit deep, making the pillows that come with them helpful, as otherwise it might be hard for some people to sit back against the back and simultaneously have their feet on the floor. Both this and the matching sofa look to me just as pictured.
