Steelcase Leap V2 review
This user owns a Steelcase Leap V2 and acknowledges it definitely makes some noise, although they describe it more as a grinding sound rather than groaning. They believe this is likely something everyone who owns the chair experiences to some degree. Despite the noise, they still consider the medium position to be more comfortable than the high or low settings. Overall, they view this as a relatively minor complaint, especially for those who purchased the chair within the 90-day return window.
Pros
- Medium lumbar position is most comfortable
Cons
- Makes grinding/groaning noises
