Steelcase Leap V2 review

This commenter purchased a BTOD refurbished Steelcase Leap V2 and reports it's like new - they can't tell a difference from a brand new chair. They highlight an important practical advantage: the Leap V2 is known to have a very thin seat pad that can cause tailbone pain, but BTOD offers a no-charge option to add a 1/2 inch extra foam to the seat cushion, which makes a world of difference in comfort. They emphasize this upgrade would save the original poster $400 compared to buying new, and they'd get the extra comfortable seat cushion that you can't get from a new chair. They strongly recommend going with BTOD over new based on their personal experience.

Pros

  • Extra cushion makes a world of difference for comfort
