Steelcase Leap V2 review
After using the Steelcase Leap V2 for six months, this reviewer finds it comfortable for extended sitting sessions during their work-from-home setup. They appreciate that the chair encourages good posture without feeling restrictive. The lumbar support is adjustable and effective, though it took them some time to dial in the perfect settings. They mention that the seat cushion is firm, which they initially found uncomfortable but have since grown to appreciate as it doesn't flatten out like softer cushions. The recline tension and lock mechanism work smoothly. Their only complaint is that the chair runs warm - the fabric doesn't breathe as well as they'd like, especially during summer months.
