This such a honest post. It looks like you made the best of the situation. If this chair is uncomfortable I imagine the original design may also be uncomfortable since it shares the same angles. When you have guests over you can always insist they try out your craftsmanship.

I figured it's worth sharing mistakes for people to learn from.
It definitely doesn't look comfortable, but it still looks well-made.
Could you swap out the back legs with longer ones to help the thigh clearance?
That could work orI think I could potentially shorten the front legs so it tilts more forward. This is a few years old now, it's mainly just my chair for sitting.
