Real reviews & real data for premium chairs

Video review of assembling a Furmax office/gaming chair purchased from Amazon for $54.99. The reviewer demonstrates the assembly process and shares her experience with the product at this budget-friendly price point.

The reviewer bought this chair sight-unseen, every step. They thought this would be a Steelcase chair, not a Crandall one. If the chair wasn't working for them, they would have sent either all returned it and trying something else. There's a bunch of videos on Crandall's YouTube page that shows how to lubricate it and where you should probably try that. They keep the seat up and no realistic lumbar either, right out of the box or eventually.

All of their refurbished Steelcase seating uses brand new cushions built to OEM specs from the same foam manufacturer that Steelcase used prior to moving their production to Mexico. The Revolution Style Leap cushion is available as a standard option, and they offer an additional half-inch of foam for users who want extra padding that exceeds the standard thickness of the Leap pads. They explain that the cost including duties, taxes, and shipping for customers to ship the replacement pad kit up to Canada prices out the option for most customers. Because of the exchange program where customers get a credit for returning their used seat pad and seat sliding mechanism, it becomes the cost even more prohibitive. They wish this wasn't the case but that's why they stopped shipping the kits to Canada.

The reviewer described the smooth rolling and adjustable tilt as huge selling points for this chair, especially for long work sessions. They emphasized that it is definitely an office chair that feels premium. Their main criticism is that the armrests can be a bit finicky to adjust initially.

The reviewer has a consistent keep issue but it might be two, and it's the same issue. They can lubricate the seat slots, although the ride sort of shakes seems to be different depending on where their tools. Crandall even told them to just run key anchors. The slight noise coming from the backrest doesn't bother them much.

This commenter lives in Canada and has used their Steelcase Leap V2 for a year. They confirmed that the chair does have some padding and expressed surprise that someone would question this aspect of the chair's design.
