I think it should be termed a "Young Gentleman's Chair" I can't see myself easily being able to thread my legs through the opening beneath the tray. It is a bit like the bucket seats in some cars, which were difficult to negotiate even I was a lot younger.

I imagine one is meant to drape oneself languorously over it whilst composing sonnets


Or some such cobblers

Well if sitting on it i think your legs would have be on either side so yes your cobblers would drape.....

Well I think I can see why they never caught on.
Reminded me of Edward VII’s loveseat. Which also looks bloomin uncomfortable, just think of the conversation between the king and the Cabinetmaker, and (particularly back in those days) the embarrassment factor involved talking to the king about positions.

Whoops forgot to add the pic.

If that " loveseat" is to be used as I think it might be used it looks like it would be useful 9 months later as well...
