  • Gorgeous & Comfortable Chair - Great Features, Definitely NEW & Genuine Steelcase
Color: Meadow
First let me start this review with my stats - I'm a 40-something yo female, 5'6" and 140lbs. I have a short torso and long legs. I also have lower back pain from compressed discs. I previously had the full leather executive "Sterling" chair from Zuri Furniture. It was a beauty but lacked ergonomics and after sitting in it for an hour or so, my tailbone would ache. Thankfully, I was able to sell it and re-enter the chair purchasing market. Although I've been WFH for some 15 years, it never really occurred to me to search specifically for an ergonomic chair. At first I just used whatever I had around and then I bought the Zuri chair based solely on aesthetics. After that experience I realized maybe it's time to get a more intentional chair, especially as I'm in the office more these days. So, after researching for weeks, reading reviews and watching youtube videos, I finally settled on the Steelcase Leap chair. I was specifically looking for a chair in meadow or wasabi to match the decor in my office so I was thrilled to find that the meadow chair from this listing was deeply discounted (maybe due to meadow being a less popular color). But I was also concerned it may not be a V2 or it may be a refurb or somehow flawed based on the low price (~$830). There are precious few 2022 reviews on this listing and some alarming negative reviews from 2018 about counterfeits and quality issues so I was a bit scared to pull the trigger. I made sure to purchase from a "sold by amazon" as others have mentioned. The chair arrived 4 days earlier than expected and in perfect condition with the exception of some dust/dirt smudges on the arm rests which easily wiped away. I think this may have been from the packing process or from the chair having sat in various warehouses for who knows how long. First off, this is definitely a genuine Steelcase chair. It came in a Steelcase box. The box had a cardboard stabilizing piece in the bottom for the feet of the chair to sink into. The chair had the factory hang tag on it with information on how to operate the functions, factory plastic protective film on the base legs connecting to each caster and there was a loose plastic bag covering the upper part of the chair. There was a medium sized empty cardboard box inside to stabilize the upper part of the chair and a large airbag elsewhere in the box for extra protection. There was NO horrendous styrofoam to have to figure out how to dispose of, much to my joy. The UPS driver brought the box right to my front door on a dolly and I greeted the package with a box cutter, opened the top first to make sure there wasn't any visible damage to the contents and to examine how the chair was packaged. After that, I used the box cutter to cut the box from top to bottom on the front two corners, allowing the whole front face of the box to fall to the ground. From there it was super easy to lift the chair out of the bottom stabilizing cardboard piece and roll it right into my home office. With the assistance of the instructional hang tag, it was easy to play with all the knobs and levers and I had the chair set up exactly the way I like it within about 5 minutes. Here are my pros/cons - Pros - - The recline function is awesome. I like being able to set both the recline and tension to where I like them. This is the first reclining chair I've had and it's amazing to lean back while I read and type. I did not know this would be such a game changer! - The armrests move in all directions smoothly. At first I was concerned that they move so easily and afraid I'd be constantly having to readjust them, but that's not really a problem as long as you learn to be a little bit careful not to knock them out of position. In reality, they are probably "just right" as if they were firmer to move it would be annoying. There is sufficient movement available for someone of my proportions, but my 6'1" husband said if it were his chair he would want the arm rests to move farther forward. - The seat pad is VERY comfortable for me. This is a big one because of my lower back issues. Although it looks thin and I've read negative reviews from others who said they "bottom out" and it "feels like hard plastic", I don't agree. It feels like a supportive, firm cushion that conforms to my body. Yes, I can probably slightly feel that there's a plastic base under the cushion, but it's not a deal breaker. Maybe for a heavier person it would be. It's wide enough for me and I have about an inch of clearance between my hips and the frame. For a woman I'd say my hip width is average - I'm not a ruler or a pear, but more of an hourglass. I find I still have a bit of lower back pain, but nothing nearly as bad as usual, so I'd say this is an ergonomic chair for someone with lower back issues. - Adjustable seat depth - YES!!! Because I have long legs, I have it pulled out to maximum depth. This is perfect. Seat depth is always a problem for me. Problem solved. - Adjustable lumbar support and lumbar in general - very good. Lots of up/down adjustment length available, easy to adjust. I find I move it up and down from time to time throughout the day to vary the supported area, sometimes lower, sometimes higher. I like having the ability to make these changes so I can stay more comfortable over long work days. - Back rest is very supportive and comfortable on the upper area, cradling my shoulders when I lean back. - Color in the photo was very true to how the chair looks. I assume this would be the case for all of the color ways. Cons - - I wish you could adjust the seat angle. Most people I think like for the seat to slope slightly forward towards the ground. Because I have long legs and lower back pain, I'd like to be able to tilt the front of the seat upwards sometimes to create more of a "bucket" feel for my tailbone area. But even without, this seat is still better than most. - The "Buzz 2" fabric is a bit dated looking due to its texture and also feels a little bit rough on bare legs (when you WFH and wear shorts). Also the fabric warms up pretty well, which can be a pro or a con depending how you like your temperature. Bottom Line - I'm not sure how good this would be for a larger person or for a big and tall man. I don't think the seat would be wide enough or the seat pad thick enough. The arm rests don't come very far forward so that could also be an issue for some. The back might not be tall enough for someone with a long/tall torso. I think this is a great chair for a small to average woman or a slender under 6' tall man. These chairs are expensive. I'm not sure how I'd feel about spending upwards of $1000 on one, but I guess it comes down to your budget and what you expect. This is definitely an upper-end high quality chair. You won't like it if you want mesh everywhere and all the ergonomic bells and whistles of something like the HM Aeron, which I understand is better for those who like to be in constant motion. But if you like full upholstery and a more traditional office chair feel with some highly functional ergonomic features, this is a beautiful chair. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. ... show more

  • Amazon became an Authorized Dealer in October of 2013 - The Standard Steelcase 12 Year Warranty Applies
Color: Black
I called Steelcase on 7/11/14 and they told me that Amazon became an Authorized Dealer in October of 2013 and that the Standard 12 Year Warranty Applies as with any authorized Steelcase dealer. I confirmed this via email with the Steelcase Sales Representative that deals with Amazon and here is what he said: "All product purchased on Amazon and sold by Steelcase are under warranty. Amazon manages all warranty and damage claims; however, Steelcase is in full cooperation with Amazon and does stand by the standard Steelcase warranty." However, I can very well understand why the previous reviewer thought otherwise. That is what someone at Steelcase told him. Also, I checked out the online Steelcase authorized dealer listing and there is no mention of Amazon in that listing. Seems like someone at Steelcase needs to do a better job of maintaining an accurate and up to date list. I feel comfortable purchasing through Amazon only because I have an email from the Steelcase Rep stating that Amazon is an authorized dealer, and I have filed that away just in case. I would have not purchased simply based on a verbal statement via phone which was my initial contact with Steelcase. The nice thing about buying the chair through Amazon prime is you get it in a couple days and you can return it within the standard Amazon return period free of charge if there's a quality problem. Steelcase has and is continuing to move production out of the USA and into Mexico. I know through personal experience with two recent Steelcase chair purchases that there have been quality issues which are most likely a result of these moves. It's not that the product is made in Mexico. Any new manufacturing plant regardless of the location experiences "start-up" quality issues which improve over time as the workers become more experienced and the kinks are worked out of the manufacturing process and equipment. I'm sure Steelcase is no exception. I could have purchased the chair for less but the Amazon no cost return policy due to quality issues is a must for me considering my recent bad experience with Steelcase quality. So far as the Leap chair goes, this is a great chair that you can adjust in many different ways to your unique shape and size. I've been sitting in one for 9 years at work and I just purchased one for home. It takes a while to learn how to use the various adjustments that the chair provides but once you get them dialed into your unique body it is a very comfortable and ergonomically correct chair. Update: 10/26/14 I did end up returning the chair immediately upon receiving it. Sadly it had 2 defects: The fabric was poorly stretched over the chair back such that their were creases in the fabric, and the chair tilting mechanism barely worked. A sad state of affairs for the once great Steelcase company. I've been purchasing Steelcase chairs for over 25 years for my company and for personal use. The name Steelcase was once synonymous with exceptionally well made chairs. Unfortunately that is no longer the case. The materials are still good. The design is still good. But sad to say the quality of workmanship is problematic. Hopefully they will work out the quality problems in their relatively new Mexican manufacturing plants. 7/22/16 Update: Still a great chair. However, the lumbar height adjustment does not keep it's position and slides down to the bottom. I have corrected this by clamping the 2 lumbar adjustment handles (1 on each side of the chair back) with 2 1/2 inch c-clamps, one on each side. so once you get the height where you like it you clamp the lumbar handles in place in order to keep the lumbar in place. This is a design defect as I have experienced the same problem in the past with other chairs at work. ... show more
