Mechanics

Some recreation buildings require adjacent seating to be usable. These buildings are chess table, poker table, and all televisions. Additionally, pawns will find seating before reading a book. Some, but not all, workstations allow the pawn to sit on them and gain comfort while working.

Chairs can be rotated, but their facing does not matter as colonists can use workstations and recreation buildings even if the chair they are sitting on faces the wrong direction. This can be used to have the same chair be useable for multiple buildings.

Analysis

Since comfort increases at the same rate so long as the furniture comfort is below the pawn's comfort need, there is no benefit to chair comfort above 100%. Consider different chair types at expected qualities and see if you can reduce flammability, opportunity cost, and/or wealth and/or increase beauty while still retaining optimum comfort.
