Price comparison
You should buy it if…
- You prefer a padded seat over the Leap's firmer feel
- You want a balance between price and features within Steelcase
Better skip it if…
- You want maximum prestige or the most advanced armrests (get the Gesture instead)
- You need very high weight capacity
Look at instead: Steelcase Series 2, Steelcase Leap V2
