Steelcase Leap V2 review

This commenter previously owned a Steelcase Leap V2 before switching to the Embody. They found the Leap to be a very good chair overall, particularly praising its highly adjustable lumbar support system. However, they felt that the Leap's seat cushion was too firm for their preference, even after the break-in period. They also mentioned that the armrests on their unit felt somewhat flimsy and would occasionally slip out of position during use. Despite these issues, they still considered it a quality chair that served them well for several years before upgrading.

Pros

  • Highly adjustable lumbar support
  • Good quality overall
  • Served well for several years

Cons

  • Seat cushion too firm
  • Armrests felt flimsy
  • Armrests would slip out of position
