About the Steelcase V1 Leap Chair:

The Steelcase 462 Leap V1 office chair has been the Steelcase flagship chair since first being manufactured in 1999. The V1 Leap was made between the years of 1999 and 2007, when it was upgraded to the Version 2 (V2) model, which is still being made new today. Featuring all current ergonomic adjustments and over-the-top build quality, the Steelcase 462 Leap V1 chair has proven itself as a time tested workhorse, and is still considered by many (us included) to be one of the best built office chairs ever made.

Donating COVID-19 Hospital Masks

With the shortage of face masks with the COVID-19 virus, several local hospitals reached out to us due to our sewing capabilities and asked if we could help sew reusable cotton face masks for hospital workers. We haven chosen to devote part of our manufacturing capabilities to making these masks, and will be donating them at no expense to the hospitals.

We are excited to be able to use our unique skill set to help the courageous hospital workers, who are literally putting their lives on the line to make sure each and every one of us are safe. For every chair sold, we will be donating at least 10 reusable face masks to local hospitals – we are also continuing to offer our 10% off all chairs work from home special through our website – we appreciate everyone’s support during this time!

Just to clarify – we are producing and donating these masks as fast as we can, with a goal of 10+ for every chair sale. We’ve got about half of our work force making masks while the other half continues to produce chairs to support our ability to make and donate these masks. We are not holding anything waiting for sales, we are donating as soon as they are complete! Stay Safe Everyone!!

Steelcase V1 Leap Chair Features:

One of the reasons we think the Steelcase Leap chair (both Version 1 and Version 2) is one of the best and most comfortable office chairs ever made is because of how adjustable it is. Spending the time to properly adjust your Leap chair will not only make your chair more comfortable for you, it will also help prevent injuries from sitting without the proper ergonomic support.

Listed below are some of the features of the Steelcase V1 Leap:

• Seat Height Adjustment
• Seat Depth / Seat Slider Adjustment
• Height / Width Adjustable Arms
• 5-Setting Variable Stop Tilt Lock
• Lean Back Tension (how much force it takes to lean back in your chair)
• Lower Back Tension / Lumbar Firmness
• LiveBack Design
• Adjustable Lumbar (optional)

Steelcase V1 Leap Remanufacturing Process:

Crandall Office Furniture has been the industry leader in remanufacturing office chairs since 2002. Every chair we sell is completely torn down and remanufactured from the ground up in Greenville, Michigan.

We do our absolute best to make sure every chair is as close to new as possible. The only place you may see some variation is in the plastic surfaces – we have no way to resurfacing plastic, so some minor scrapes and dings on plastic pieces are to be expected – we remove anything that has large damage from inventory and use them as parts chairs

We go through all of the working components of every chair, then put it back together with new casters, new gas cylinder, new arm pads, new fabric (always removing the old fabric, chair pads are sterilized with high temperature steam), and we stand behind each of our V1 Leap chairs with a 12 year warranty.

With 10,000+ chairs in stock at all times, we’re ready for orders of a single chair, to thousands at a time.

Be careful of terms like “used,” “refurbished,” or “open box” without doing your research – we’ve outlined our process in detail to make sure you know what to expect. We always encourage our buyers to look into the product they are purchasing, and more importantly, the company they are choosing to do business with. Ratings, reviews, and questions are your friend!
