Steelcase Leap V2 review

This person tried the chair at the library and found it to be incredibly unpleasant for sitting, comparing it to being 'squished' by the chair. The seat felt like it was too hard at 100% but they found it too flimsy at 50% firmness. The armrests didn't go low enough for their preference, and they're also short in height which may have contributed to fit issues. Despite these negatives, they acknowledge it's still decent for library use, though they wouldn't personally purchase it.

Cons

  • Feels unpleasant and 'squishing'
  • Seat firmness either too hard or too flimsy
  • Armrests don't go low enough
  • Not suitable for shorter users
