Steelcase Leap V2 review

Working from home in a small apartment, this reviewer chose the Steelcase Leap V2 partially based on aesthetics, as it needed to fit their living space without looking too utilitarian. They've had it for about six months and find it both comfortable and reasonably attractive for a home office chair. The fabric options allowed them to choose something that matched their decor. Functionally, they appreciate the recline feature for taking breaks while staying in the chair, and the lumbar support helps during long video calls when they need to stay alert and upright. The adjustments are useful but they found the process of setting everything up initially to be somewhat complex and intimidating with so many knobs and levers.

Pros

  • Comfortable for home office use
  • Reasonably attractive design
  • Fabric options for decor matching
  • Good recline for taking breaks
  • Helpful lumbar support for long video calls

Cons

  • Initial adjustment process complex and intimidating
  • Many knobs and levers to learn
