Steelcase Leap V2 review

The original poster is looking for their first serious ergonomic office chair for a home office setup, with a budget of up to 2k (preferring less). They sit about 10 hours per day split between 40% coding, 40% gaming, and 20% relaxing/YouTube. They have a larger frame with big shoulders and back, so they prefer a softer, wider chair. They don't get hot often but dislike leather materials. Their sitting position varies widely - they sit cross-legged, with one leg under them, or regularly with feet on ground or on a footrest. They tend to tilt their shoulders forward and round inward, so they want a chair that allows freedom of movement while still correcting posture long-term. They're considering the Steelcase Leap V2 among other options, and need a chair with adjustable height since their desk can raise and lower. They are 177cm (5'8") and 76kg (167 lbs), pretty built from gym training.
