Steelcase Leap V2 review

This person has owned their Steelcase Leap V2 for about four years and uses it in a professional office setting with 8-hour workdays. They find it to be a solid, reliable chair that has required no maintenance or repairs over that time. The build quality is excellent and it still feels tight and sturdy with no wobbling or looseness in any components. They appreciate the lumbar support adjustability, which they use regularly to change support throughout the day as their back fatigues. The seat cushion has maintained its shape and comfort level with no noticeable compression. They chose the leather upholstery option and it has developed a nice patina while remaining free of cracks or damage. Their only minor complaint is that the leather can be a bit warm in summer months without air conditioning.
