Thanks alot BTOD. I finally picked up my first ever Steelcase today, I got the Steelcase Series 2 Air and I really love it. It's so much better than my Secretlabs Omega 2020. I got it for $500 USD brand new with 10 year warranty.

I just received my refurb Amia yesterday from BTOD. I think I like it? Out of the box, it does feel really comfy, but I haven’t had a high end office chair before, so not really sure what features are even important to me yet. My tailbone pain has been excruciating from working 10+ hour shifts at home—I’ll test it out this Monday to see if the Amia helps with it. I do find I’m wishing I had a little more upright support for my back, but not sure if I just don’t have it dialed in right. And I wish I could rock back in it more. I like the arms, though I find myself wishing they came up and forward just a little more. But again, I may need to dial in the chair settings vs the height of my desk (manual raise Husky work table). I wish I could afford to also buy a Leap and Lamia and compare all 3 chairs at once. I’m short (5’2”), but heavy (280 and working on that). …If I find that by my lunch break on Monday I don’t have tailbone pain, I’ll be absolutely thrilled.

I've had my leap v2 for over a year now and I have to say it's a really great chair. It definitely took longer than I thought it would to break in and I started to get discouraged. But now I look forward to sitting in it each day as I work from home.

I was all set to get the Gesture but the more I watch your videos the more I'm considering trying out the leap first before making a decision.

[stathipapadopoulos]

Am in the market for a Leap. Is there any difference in terms of comfort/ergo if I got the leather instead of cushion? Thank you!

[Greg-xjkb]

the series 1 foam pad bottomed out on me after about a year of ownership wfh during the pandemic. i added an inch of foam under the pad and its been good for my tailbone since. the arms and arm rest are starting to get too much ply in them and they kind of slip like crazy. is there a way to just buy parts so we can make our own chairs?

[Adamp]

Would you recommend the leap or amia for somone supper small and skinny ? I'm 5'5, 110lbs with lower back and tailbone pain.

[RokuX]

How do I get the series 2 in that colorway. With the black frame but the flexy back support in white like that. I'm on the website rn and I can't seem to be able to configure it like that. Thanks in advance!

[notsimar]

Can you do a comparison of steelcase chairs offerings in leather vs fabric?

[deeply_artificial]

I'm torn apart between Gesture and Embody.

Gesture +1 for headrest and lumber support

Embody +1 for back support and flexible construction

I am considering Gesture because it's cheaper but now I'm not certain because of seat padding, that would be a deal breaker.

I'm 203cm 6.7" and 105 kg

Can you mention the Amea Air + 3d microknit? <3
I can't tell if its worth getting, 200$ less then the Amea makes it that much more affordable. Would love your opinion on it.

[manitsony]

think vs series 1 which one is more ok for sitting 8 hours
thanks

[oliverholwick]

would you reccomend buying chairs on craigslist of FB marketplace?

[juan_chan]

Im looking for the amia, but in Mexico the air is the only option, and i don't know if the back suport is in the same level of the regular version, i didn't found any good review though

[CorbyCave]

I have a leap v2 and a gesture. I had to get the gesture because I got to heavy and too wide for the leap, and I couldn't get my hands on a Leap Plus(which I noticed your video didn't mention). Overall the Gesture is a great chair, more than adequate for my size and weight, but I agree that the seat padding is very much lacking. I had to buy a supplemental seat cushion almost immediately after getting my Gesture. Other than that, both are great chairs.

[FrostSeen]

I’d kill for a Leap v2 with the extra supportive padding of the old Sensor 458. My 2001 Sensor still has the most comfortable office chair seat of all time to me. My dream chair would be marrying that to the Leap’s back.

[MisterDemonTC]

i heard that some chairs have a metal plate in them to protect against catastrophic failure of the cylinder, the thing we're all terrified about but probably have no reason to worry about it. do steelcase chairs have those?

[moepskie]

I'm stuck between choosing Karman or Gesture. I prefer the Karman because I move a lot and overheat fast, but I'm used to having a headrest. Gesture sounds like an option because it has a headrest, but I have a sensitive tailbone which sounds like it could be problematic on the Gesture

[jcdrums]

What about the Criterion? I guess it isn't that popular because, aesthetically, it's such a boring old design, but it looks pretty well-cusioned, and I believe it's the only Steelcase chair that can do a forward tilt on the seat pan, which is supposed to be the healthiest way to sit.

I'm torn between purchasing a refurbished Leap v2 and the Amia 🤔 I'm also from the UK and finding it incredibly difficult finding a retailer with any in stock, I wish you guys shipped to the UK!
