Steelcase Leap V2 review

This user purchased a Leap V2 specifically for their home office after developing sciatica. They report that the chair has been helpful in managing their symptoms, particularly appreciating the seat edge that doesn't dig into the back of their thighs and the adjustable seat depth. The lumbar support can be positioned low enough to support their lower back without aggravating their condition. They've had it for about a year and still find it comfortable. However, they mention that the armrests feel a bit cheap compared to the rest of the chair, and the plastic has started to show some wear. Despite this minor issue, they'd buy it again.

  • Seat edge doesn't dig into thighs
  • Adjustable seat depth
  • Lumbar can be positioned low enough
  • Still comfortable after a year
