Steelcase Leap V2 review

This commenter is on their second Leap V2, having worn out their first one after 12 years of heavy daily use. They report the first chair lasted exceptionally well, with only the fabric showing wear and some minor mechanism looseness at the end. Everything still functioned, but they wanted a refresh. They opted for the same model again because they know it works for them. They appreciate the consistency of the product line and that Steelcase hasn't significantly changed the design. They're a 5'6" woman and find the chair fits them well, which hasn't always been the case with office chairs. The adjustability accommodates their smaller frame without feeling oversized.

Pros

  • Lasted 12 years with heavy daily use
  • Consistent product line
  • Fits smaller frames well (5'6" woman)
  • Adjustability accommodates smaller bodies
  • Doesn't feel oversized

Cons

  • Fabric wore after 12 years
  • Minor mechanism looseness after 12 years
