There was a consensus here. I just can't remember what it was. They are either REALLY comfortable, or not at all... It was in the thread about the most comfortable reading chair...

My dear HouseKebab,
Please take advantage of the box at the bottom of your screen when posting your images and/or links. It helps lazy people like me follow the conversation somewhat easier.
Many thanks,
Aunt Mark ( mild ADD sufferer)

Jesus, you STILL haven't bought a chair?
The Barcelona is not at all comfortable.

I remember what the consensus was
They told you to go to the nearest Scientology office and ask for the clear.

LOVE the Chairs!
I think the Barcelona chair is one of the most comfortable chairs you can own.
We have 2....the real deal so I would vote "yes" they are a great sit.
The knockoffs are terrible.

Dear Sir,
I believe that all conversations in the forum are archived. They are fairly easy to search. Apparently you even know exactly where to search. You are asking a question that should be rhetorical unless you are a total nitwit, or perhaps a pathetic marketing troll from the website you have posted a link to. The latter seems increasingly likely to me. Regardless of what you actually are, please work to improve your demonstration of critical thinking skills and write better questions. You will then assuredly achieve better results.

Apologies
I realize that I made an assumption about gender above that may not be correct.

Why is it rhetorical? I am...
Why is it rhetorical? I am not a furniture obsessed woman. If the answer is so damn obvious, why are there such conflicting opinions in this very thread??
WHAT SAY YOU?
BARCELONA?
COMFY? OR NOT?

The Knoll Barcelona chair provides seating comfort for approximately 14 minutes. The ottoman enhances the experience slightly. I blame Meis.

I expect
it was Mies (not Meis) who is to be blamed for the design of the Barc -- or maybe it is Lily Reich ?
Form often takes precedence, in the design of art objects, over function. This is particularly unfortunate when the art object is a chair.
How many in our limited poll find that a pillow placed to assist the lumbar (lower back) region, makes the chair more comfortable ? How many have tried this remedy ?
objectworship should perhaps attempt to search for (the) DA thread which discusses Barcelona comfort, before recommencing that route to others . . .?

?
Paste "Barcelona comfort" in the search bar and there it is, easy as pie.
If you're really uncomfortable when sitting in a halfway decent chair of any sort, that most likely means that you have been sitting too long and should probably become more active. If you have some sort of a health problem, that's a different issue.
"Comfortable" is a pretty arbitrary designation. A lot of people think that if something isn't all soft and fluffy, it's not "comfortable". Is an Aalto stool "uncomfortable" because it is not soft? I would say not.
Very often, a "comfort problem" with a chair is actually due to the ill emotional state, obesity, or otherwise unhealthy lifestyle of the user.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE SO DIFFICULT.

Sounds like
"Blame the Victim" to me. There is probably not a single chair in the history of furniture which every user would describe as comfortable. Must this always be the fault of the sitter ? It does speak to the fact that different persons have differing body types, different thresholds of pain, different expectations.
It may be true that seating comfort is the only real functional requirement for any chair. Nevertheless, "consensus" as to the comfort of any one chair may be asking too much . . .
