I had one years ago, made out of some kind of composite material, not wood like the originals.
A lot of people say they're very comfortable, especially if you have the right cushions.
I didn't like mine as I found it hard to get out of.

Yes, too hard for DH to get in and out of so we got the higher ones and love them.

I did when I was young and lived on the OH/PA border. I thought it was comfortable back then but I’m not so sure I would think that now.

Sat in them a lot when younger and pretty comfortable. Now I would probably just fall asleep in one.

Yes but you still need a good cushion for your seat and I use another for my back. Sitting is so bad for us.
This was my last set which are not really safe to sit in but I keep them around because they improve photos.
My new set are much more sturdy being made of a resin composite and look better.

Here are some photographs other people have taken at my favorite American public garden, Chanticleer just Northwest of Philadelphia.

I have two by the pool, I enjoy them in the morning with coffee. Although truth be told, I sit on the concrete bench by the pond more often.
My grandpa built 2 of them. We lost grandpa when I was 18. The chairs were always in the yard. Unfortunately when grandma died the heir (my youngest uncle) found poor parents embarrassing, sold the place and everything in and on it. I was too far away to do anything about it. I have no clue where the chairs went.

I find them uncomfortable. For me, most of them tilt too far back. Same with the sling chairs that were popular in the '70s.

Mine tilt much further back than those..... and they're also very low.. and difficult to get out of....

We have two as part of our fire pit seating. I added seat cushions and find them very comfortable, though as some posters have stated they’re low to the ground. But I have no mobility issues so find them easy to get out of.

I just posted a video from Chanticleer garden in Pennsylvania taken in May of this year in my diary.
A couple more Adirondack chairs and much more.
