Steelcase Leap Desk Chair V2 with Headrest in Buzz2 Chocolate Fabric - 4-Way Highly Adjustable Arms - Black Frame and Base - Soft Dual Wheel Hard Floor Casters

My son works from home and he loves this chair!

So many letdowns in this chair. I'm not very satisfied with this purchase.1. Seat and back padding. It feels like cheap foam that will break down completely in a few years. I was expecting something that felt more like chairs in offices I've worked in over the years. The seat also feels--flat, like it's not contoured for a human butt at all. It *looks* fine, but the padding is so soft that when you sit down, it flattens out. I can squeeze hard enough with my fingers to bottom out the padding. Really unacceptable for a chair this expensive and I'm sure I'll wind up getting a separate pad eventually.2. Headrest. The arms that attach the headrest to the chair are *plastic*. They flex easily and feel like they could be easily snapped.3. Lumbar support. The adjustment sliders and stops feel like more cheap plastic, and the levers sometimes slide down to the lowest setting.4. Arm rests. The edges are squared off and not supported well. I can tell the plastic will eventually crack and the padding will start flaking off.I'm also worried that the stop for the reclining back will wear out, but I can't say for sure since the mechanism is enclosed.Good things about the chair:Lumbar support is really flexible overall.The optional wheels for hard floors are really nice. (The chair 'legs' do stick out far enough to make them a toe menace, however.)Arm rest adjustment is nicely flexible.Seat height adjusts low enough to account for my stubby legs.

The build quality is very good. Well designed and comfortable for working long hours at desk

I was able to adjust the chair easily using the on-line guides and it is really comfortable. Then I leaned back a little and realized that there is no way to feel comfortable with the head rest. If you look at it from the side view it pushes your head forward, even if you try to make it fit at the base of your skull. I also ordered a red chair and received a black one but these days it seems best to just take what you get.

This was once an affordable mid-tier chair at $1000. After Black Friday, Steelcase raised the price $500 with no changes or improvements. Still a great chair but just too expensive.

This chair is expensive, make no mistake. But I sit at my office desk for hours at a time and I needed a comfortable, adjustable, high quality desk chair. The Steelcase Leap is all of that and more. If I had it to do all over again, I would buy this chair again.C. DrakeFallon, NV

I purchased this chair through the Steelcase website ~2 years ago and it's awful. There's no cushion for your seat which has resulted in hip and leg pain. I eventually purchased an orthopedic chair cushion just to make this chair tolerable. Save your money and go with Herman Miller (this is the company my office uses and they're very comfortable).

The chair is built well with very nice features. Unfortunately, the seat is the most uncomfortable I have ever used, and for the amount of money was expecting a more comfortable chair.
