Steelcase Leap V2 review

Working as a programmer with existing back issues from a previous injury, this user researched extensively before settling on the Steelcase Leap V2. After one year of daily use for 8-10 hours, they report that the chair has been instrumental in managing their chronic back pain. The adjustable lumbar support allows them to provide targeted support to their injury area. They also appreciate being able to adjust the recline tension, which lets them shift positions throughout the day while maintaining support. The seat depth adjustment prevents pressure behind their knees, which used to aggravate their lower back. They note that proper adjustment is crucial - it took them about a month to find the perfect settings, but once dialed in, the chair has been excellent for their condition.
