Fairly comfortable, but only rated to 235 lbs... just waiting for a guest to accidentally test that limit.  Assembly was challenging and required a tool that your average tool box does not have (we did, but we have a lot of tools).  Definitely requires two people, as ot least one piece has to be supported as you reach through the access hole with an extended socket wrench in the correct size of 10mm (not supplied).  You then have to rotate the metal base to reach the other 3 locations.  I ordered 3 chairs- the first one looked pretty good, the second one had some scratches and one of the ties SEWN INTO the tufting.  The third one just had scratches/rub marks.  Pictures attached.
