Incredibly comfortable--without a cushion. I'm not sure how they do it. Went with the aged green color. I like it. Looks more green than aged probably, but it works for me. Still sufficiently subtle. (I'm the kind of person who doesn't want someone to walk out on my back porch and say "I love the color of your table and chairs!") Love the swivel and rocker element. Just a great outdoor chair. While more expensive than the ones without the swivel/rocker mechanism, I think the extra cost is justifiable.
