I just agreed to buy a Leap v2 for $500 from someone who's startup failed I believe. It has an extra cylinder in it so their tall employee could use it in the correct fashion. He was also 6'5" like me, so I think it will make sense in the long run.

I have wanted a new chair for a while and I got really spoiled when I got a new job and they had Leap v2s in the office and then Aerons in the office we switched to. I work from home two days a week also.

My friend wants a chair for $200. I don't think there are any specific requirements other than being the best he can get at that price. I'm wondering if I should tell him to try and find a used high-end one at an office liquidators. Any recommendations for a new one or a reliable source online for a used one?

Anyone have experience with this? https://www.bestbuy.com/site/office-star-products-progrid-mesh-managers-chair-black/4607807.p?skuId=4607807 I'm an employee so it's about $155 after discount. Comparing it to the HON Exposure recommended on Wirecutter.

I'm going to be moving into a room with carpet soon so I assume I need one of those stupid plastic mats. I'm also going to get a ~72” desk that I can hopefully fit my gaming PC setup but also slide over to my work setup. Is there a recommended mat? It will be a sit/stand desk too.

fwiw my desk is in a carpeted room and when I got my new chair I bought a set of rubber chair casters from Amazon and they're much better at rolling around on carpet than the standard office chair wheels that come with the chair. I obviously can't glide around the place but i like this option better than laying down a big plastic mat.

Heard of these. Definitely prefer this option, thanks!

What's the lifespan on the seat of a Steelcase Leap V2? Mine isn't feeling very good on my butt and legs lately. I've had the chair for 12 years I think.

That's the same problem I had with the used Leap V2 I bought last year. So I just popped down to a local used office furniture place and picked up an Aeron Classic for 600$. Weirdly I kinda liked it more than the Embody I tried out, but that's not much more than a first impression

Did you look at replacing the seat?
