This is honestly the worse sub if you're trying to find a chair

I've been lurking for a while here and I can agree with the shills aspect. Sometimes I just wanna hear genuine opinions but gawd damn how one specific company is always the solution for everything and they're just refurbishers lol. Not to mention those obvious fake reviews posts talking about a godl

I bought a Steelcase Leap V2 in November 2024 when I started working from home, and after over a year of sitting in it I can positively say I hate it.

I do think chairs are like beds and sitting in them for a few minutes really doesn't give you an accurate picture of what each one will feel like after sitting in them for hours a day. Personally the only thing that worked for me is buying a chair and returning it if it starts to hurt. I went throug

Mecca for scoring inexpensive chairs

These are not inexpensive chairs relative to what you can buy elsewhere. Looking at their prices, I would not buy any of these. Keep in mind these chairs are used and do not come with a warranty. I just paid $750 for a fully refurbished steelcase leap v2 from crandall, which comes with a 12 year war

suggest me a good ergonomic chair for petite women please

Silly question here, but is there some secret to getting it lower? I'm 5'1" and just got a Steelcase Leap V2, and (adjusted as low as I can seem to get it) my feet are still at least an inch away from the ground. My guess is that I just have exceptionally short legs, but I'm a bit frustrated after s

Need urgent advice before I pull the trigger

OP, go out there and try out the chair rather than just buying it. Of course the price is very less, but sit, take a feel for 15 to 20 minutes, understand how does your back adjust to the chair. I made the mistake of buying a Steelcase Leap V2 recently because it was coming at a good price. I had te

Embody vs Aeron vs Steelcase leap v2 or other alternative

I must say, that i am 6"3 and 130kg. So im on the complete other spectrum size wise :D I dont like the Aeron, since i am not a Mesh-Guy. And also that rim around the seat itself was very uncomfy for my liking. The different steelcase variants are obv. not all the same.I only tested the Gesture and L

What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie?

I had always heard people recommend the Steelcase Leap V2 as an alternative to the Herman Miller Aeron. My work uses Aerons and when I started working from home, the only thing I could find was a used Leap V2. It is fine, but everytime I go into the office I curse myself for buying it over the Aeron

Refurbished Ergonomic Office Chair - Steelcase Leap 2

Key rule to remember that not every chair will fit your body's ergonomics. It's possible a $400 Sihoo M57 or Steelcase series 2 will feel more comfortable than the Leap V2 or Aeron so don't just stick to the refurbished premium ones just because they are cheap. Anyhow I was able to find these a bit

Can't decide - have you tried any of these?

You said you're coming from an executive style chair. All these chairs would be a torture device for your butt to a varying degrees. Still boggles my mind how a decently padded chair would affect you negatively. I have a Steelcase Leap V2, which is arguably more padded than the rest of the bunch, an

What did you think was pretentious, until you tried it and realized it was worth it?

I own a Herman Miller Aeron at home and I hate it. There is not enough support and no padding. I was told it was the best option when I got it years ago. It was so expensive that I never bothered to replace it. Thank you for the suggestion. I will look into the Steelcase Leap V2.
