Steelcase Leap V2 review

As someone who is 5'3", this reviewer specifically values the Steelcase Leap V2's seat depth adjustment feature, which they describe as essential for shorter users. They've owned the chair for about two years and find it far more accommodating than standard office chairs. The ability to reduce the seat depth means they can sit with their back against the backrest while still having their feet flat on the floor without pressure behind their knees. The lumbar support also adjusts low enough to be useful for their shorter torso. They appreciate that the armrests lower sufficiently to allow proper shoulder positioning. This is the first office chair they've used that truly fits their smaller frame without requiring aftermarket modifications or cushions.

Pros

  • Essential seat depth adjustment for shorter users (5'3")
  • Far more accommodating than standard chairs
  • Eliminates knee pressure while maintaining back support
  • Lumbar adjusts appropriately for shorter torso
  • Armrests lower enough for proper shoulder positioning
  • First chair that truly fits smaller frame without modifications
