Steelcase Leap V2 review
The commenter reports they've never experienced tailbone pain with their Aeron, only some hamstring discomfort, which they find engaging forward tilt alleviates (though they suggest trying it if the original poster hasn't yet). However, when discussing the Leap V2, they mention they can get a refurbished one for around £450-£550 (approximately $609-$774). They note the steel cases look good and that many people who don't agree with the Aeron tend to prefer the Leap V2 or go for the Gesture, both of which lean more toward an angling design. Unfortunately, the Embody is outside their budget as they're in the UK and the used market isn't extensive there.
Pros
- Good-looking design
- Popular alternative for those who don't like the Aeron
- More angling-oriented design
- Available refurbished at reasonable prices
