Description

The Steelcase Series 1 chair has a LiveBack™ flexor system in the backrest which conforms to your body and moves with you to support the spine as you change postures. The tilt mechanism is synchronized; the seat and back work in harmony with each other, keeping the body securely supported in the chair and feet firmly planted on the floor so you can recline without leaving your optimal zone for seeing and reaching your work. This model includes an adjustable seat depth, fully adjustable arms (raise up and down, pivot in and out, shift forward and back and side to side), adjustable lumbar, pneumatic seat height adjustment, recline tension adjustment (weight activated with adjustment and lock), flexing back with mesh upholstery, upholstered seat and wheels for carpet flooring. The seat features strong yet pliable foam which conforms to the body and creates pressure-free comfort. Flexible seat edge offers a bit of bend, right where you need it – relieving pressure points under your thighs. This chair will arrive unassembled and require some assembly; covered by Steelcase warranty.

  • Nice chair
Color: Scarlet Style: Carpet Casters Pattern Name: Chair
Good: Just about everything. Attractive design; easy to assemble; reasonably lightweight; easy to adjust; well-ventilated; comfortable in extended use; good price relative to similar chairs. Bad: The tops of the armrests move forward and back, left and right, very easily, with no way to lock them in place. More annoying than useful. The recliner allegedly has three settings plus lock. I can find no difference in the settings, all three let the back recline with too little pressure. I ended up locking the back in place. Bottom line: This replaced a 30-year-old midrange office chair that was on its last legs. Even allowing for age, the difference in adjustability and "sit" is obvious. Plus, this one doesn't creak every time I move. It isn't an Aeron, but it's closer than the one-third-the-price tag would suggest. I'm happy with it. Five stars. ... show more

  • Don't be scared! (Long and honest review)
Color: Licorice Style: Carpet Casters Pattern Name: Solid
I work in an office where we have literally thousands of Steelcase Leap chairs. I've seen people abuse there's by spilling coffee, green smoothies, and yogurt on them. I've seen them used as step stools and used in 'chair races'. I've personally been using the same one for going on 4 years and I have *never* seen one break to the point of being unusable or beyond the point of repair. I also have an Interior Design degree specializing in Commercial office design and have a lot of respect for the Steelcase brand. That being said, I'm not prepared to spend $950 on a Leap chair...eek. While totally worth it, in my opinion, I wanted something a little cheaper for my home office. About 3 months ago I started having problems with my left hip. Like a lot of people, I was using a desk chair I had purchased at Office Depot...my 3rd in 5 years...and the seat was aggravating my hip. I knew I needed a good quality chair and I had noticed my hip NEVER hurt while at work using my Leap chair. I wanted to give Steelcase a shot. After looking at several Steelcase options, I came across the Series 1 and thought it hit all my high points - lower lumbar support, adjustments for seat depth and seat height, and adjustable arms. And best of all the price wasn't super ridiculous. I had been paying around $150 per chair I bought at Office Depot - 3 chairs totaling $450 - the $430 for the Series 1 didn't look so bad. So I took a chance on a $430 chair that had zero reviews. :) It came fully put together in a large box. It was secured well enough and there was no damage in shipping to the chair. The chair is also super light weight so it was no problem hauling it upstairs fully assembled. It has a nice firm seat that is comfortable and has helped immensely with my hip pain. And while the lumbar support isn't quite as strong as I like, it does give support and I really like the shape of the back of the chair. It feels molded to my back and the mesh is very breathable. The only negative I can give this chair is the arms feel a little flimsy. I feel like I need to be careful with how much pressure I put on the arms getting up and down for fear they might weaken over time. No issues as of yet though. TLDR? I sincerely wish I could give this a 4.5! I feel that would be perfect and very fair. I can't in good conscious give it a full 5 stars because of the arms, but I feel this is a great chair and worth the higher price tag. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone that wants a good quality chair by a respected name that will last for several years. ... show more

  • Sturdy, Simple to Assemble, Comfortable and WORTH THE MONEY
Color: Licorice Style: Carpet Casters Pattern Name: Solid
I didn't want to review this chair until I had a chance to use it daily for more than a year. SO HEY, now that it's been about a year and a half, I can safely say that this chair is pretty darn good. It's solid, it's simple to put together, it's comfortable, and (best of all) it's STURDY. Listen, I'm over 300 lbs. and I had tried a handful of "big person" chairs to no avail. Even though this chair isn't ADVERTISED as a "big person chair," I fit just fine in it, I don't have any discomfort even after a long work day, and it hasn't in any way started to break down. Is it cheap? No, it's not, but it's WORTH THE MONEY. Sometimes you have to pay for quality and if you're looking for a sturdy, comfortable desk chair... Buy yourself a Steelcase. ... show more

  • The best chair I've ever had.
Color: Graphite Style: Carpet Casters Pattern Name: Chair
This is the best chair that I've ever owned. It is both light and strong. Assembly is very easy. The design is different and prevents the chair from breaking at the nuts and bolts area that previous chairs have broken for me. I have recommended this chair to family and friends and I will buy another if this chair ever fails, which is not looking likely. Also, the armrests are good and very adjustable, which is very useful. ... show more

  • I was expecting a lot more, for the price.
Color: Graphite Style: Carpet Casters Pattern Name: Chair
I consider this my most disappointing purchase for 2023. I really don't understand all the raving reviews on here about this chair. At the end of the day, it's a nice chair... but for this price!!!! I have a chair from Staples that cost 1/3rd the cost and I consider to be the same quality and comfort level. So I really don't understand why this chair is priced so much higher. Based on the review I was expecting it to be a lot more comfortable, but the seat pad is basic and nothing special. Same for the back, the mesh is comfortable enough, but similar to my lower cost chair. The lumbar support is basic. The arms have a decent amount of adjustment to them, but nothing special. The reclining features are the biggest disappointment. They say there are three options but there is really only two: locked-straight, or free-reclining. I found the tension for the recline to be very minimal resistance, and not enough to provide enough support for anything other than fully reclined. Their third option is to recline with no-resistance, but there isn't a big difference between the two reclining options. Overall, it would be a great chair if it was a lot cheaper, but I don't see enough features, quality or comfort to justify the high price tag. I was expecting a lot more features at this price range. I've had it for a week now, and am considering returning it, just because of the high price! ======== Update: after a week of use, I returned the chair. It just was not comfortable enough or have enough features to justify the high price. ... show more
