I had to read your post 3 times to just figure out where the problem is. :o)
Absolutely comfortable. The most comfortable thing should be a seat in this situation. All guests will end up in arm chairs, couch and on the floor anyway at the end of the day.
Hate formal dinners.
Sorry it was confusing, Alina. I read it again and it was a little random.
Agree about casual being better. :)
