Steelcase Leap V2 review

The original poster is torn between buying a BTOD refurbished Steelcase Leap V2 for $722 versus a brand new unopened one from Crandall for $1149. They acknowledge that $1149 is a great deal for a new chair, even cheaper than factory returns from Crandall, but they're not entirely convinced the $427 price difference is justified. They'd be willing to pay an extra $400 if there's a solid reason. Their main concern with the new Crandall chair is that it has 3D knit fabric on the back, and they're slightly worried about cleaning issues like skin particles and hair getting trapped in the material. They note that BTOD seems to have solid reviews overall.

Pros

  • BTOD has solid reviews
  • Could save $427 with refurbished option
  • Crandall new price of $1149 is cheaper than their factory returns

Cons

  • 3D knit fabric on Crandall chair raises concerns about cleaning (skin particles, hair, etc.)
  • Uncertain if $427 price difference is worth it for new
