Steelcase Leap V2 review

The reviewer purchased a Steelcase Leap V2 from Crandall and wanted to share their experience on the subreddit after already having the chair for a year. They specifically hunted for a full-grain top-grain leather version, which is the full Protessa stuff that actually holds up, and paid around $1,000 for it which they felt was a fair deal. The chair arrived in solid shape with good customer support, though they were initially concerned about the typical issues like cylinder and armrests. The reviewer noted that the chair dresses up in solid shape, with customer support being fast and actually helpful when they had a quick question about the cylinder, and they said it all worked out without any drama. They found the chair to be buttery smooth under their 240 lb frame in a bamboo mat over carpet, describing it as comfortable right out of the box with an adjustable range that is excellent. They also appreciated the hip-to-clay back feature. The reviewer ended by thanking the community again.
