I think they are comfy.  Out of 2 we purchased, one has an issue with mechanism but wayfair is replacing for us.  If you are over 6 foot they might be a little small. I'm 5'7"  and it is perfect for me.  I am a little leary of the recycling mechanism i.e. it's a plastic flip and I'm afraid it might not hold up long if it is manhandled.  So I gently pull it to recline.  All in all I would give this chair a 4 star raiting
