New Steelcase V2 Leap Seats:
One of the only complaints we’ve seen from our customers about the Steelcase Leap Chair is that the seat pad is a bit too thin, with many users experiencing discomfort and/or “bottoming out” the foam pad and feeling the plastic structure under the seat pad.
Additionally, we’ve had some customers express concern about using a seat pad that has been sat on by someone else for potentially 10+ years.
Starting in early 2020, we began offering an additional 1/2″ of foam padding as an option on the seat of our Leap chairs, and have gotten a great response!
We’re excited to announce that we are now offering a brand new seat pad on all of our Steelcase Leap Chairs moving forward. Our new seat pad is made of high quality molded foam, identical to the Steelcase OEM seat pads (including the contoured shape of the original), except we’ve chosen to add an additional 3/4″ of thickness to our new seat cushion for additional comfort.
The result is a brand new, thicker seat on every Steelcase V2 Leap chair we sell!
- Brand New Virgin Foam Seat Pad on Every V2 Leap
- High Density Molded Foam
- Contoured Shape
- Increased Comfort
- Made in the USA
- +3/4″ of Additional Thickness
About the Steelcase V2 Leap Chair:
The Steelcase 462 Leap V2 office chair has been the Steelcase flagship chair since being updated from the V1 version in 2007, and is still being made new today. Featuring all current ergonomic adjustments and over-the-top build quality, the Steelcase 462 Leap V2 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.
Every V2 Leap is fully remanufactured by Crandall Office Furniture, and includes the following:
- New Casters
- New Gas Cylinder
- New Arm Pads
- New Fabric (old fabric always removed & pads sterilized)
- 12 Year Warranty
Steelcase V2 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.

Steelcase V2 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 V2 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!

Our Remanufacturing Process Explainer Video:
We're excited to be offering our new proprietary BioKnit fabric on all of our chairs! This unique knitted fabric is significantly softer than most traditional woven fabrics, is made of 100% recycled material, is bleach cleanable, biodegradable, and made in the USA, all without sacrificing durability.
NOTE: BioKnit is not Available on Gestures with Wrap Back or Headrest at this time.
BioKnit is 100% made, dyed, and knitted in Grand Rapids, Michigan! Keeping things local, just the way we like it!
Being a knitted fabric makes BioKnit softer, stretchier, more breathable, while also being made to size to reduce fabric waste significantly.
BioKnit has a Durability Rating of 250,000 Double Rubs; 16.6x the 15,000 required to be considered "Heavy Duty Commercial Grade"
BioKnit has a cleaning code of WS (Water or Solvent Based Cleaners), and is also Bleach Cleanable (9:1 Water:Bleach)
At the end of it's useful life, BioKnit can be recycled or sent to a landfill where it will safely biodegrade in as little as 1,278 days.
BioKnit is constructed of 100% Post-Consumer Recycled polyester, and can also be recycled again at the end of it's useful life.
Made using the same materials and process as our original BioKnit fabric, our 3D BioKnit fabric is a thicker, more breathable version that utilizes two different yarn colors, creating a unique 3 dimensional look to any office chair.
- Softer & More Breathable Than Standard Fabrics

3D BioKnit Color Note: The front color is the prominent color, and covers more surface area than the back color. If you are trying to match the seat to the back, the front color (listed first) will match much closer than if trying to match the back color. (example: Gunmetal/Splash will match much better with a Gunmetal Seat than a Splash Seat)
NOTE: 3D BioKnit is not Available on Gestures with Wrap Back or Headrest at this time.

65mm (2.5 inch) vs. 75mm (3 inch) Casters:
65mm (2.5 inch) casters are the standard OEM size caster. Due to their size, they work great on low-pile or dense carpets, and operate best with loads of 200lbs or less. Above that weight you will begin to experience a decline in rolling smoothness.
vs.
The larger 75mm (3 inch) casters are oversized casters. Due to their size, the 75mm caster offers a very fluid rolling experience (especially hard floor 75mm casters on a hard surface). These casters also excel in deep carpets, and uneven or rough surfaces. 75mm casters are also great for larger / big and tall users, as they will roll much more smoothly under stress, and also give you an additional bit of height to your chair.
Roller Blade Casters:
Roller blade style casters are most similar to the hard floor style casters we discussed above, and are the larger 75mm size. Due to their construction, they actually give a bit more height to your chair than our 75mm casters. They have a soft treat that is ideal for harder surfaces, but also rolls well on carpet. These roller blade style casters improve rolling smoothness beyond the twin wheel casters, will help protect your floor, and will significantly decrease rolling noise on hard surfaces. These casters also have the advantage of looking much more modern, and stylish than a standard caster.
Roller Blade Casters are Best For:
- The Smoothest Rolling Experience
- Lowest Amount of Rolling Noise
- Hard Surfaces
- Larger / Heavier Individuals
- Deep Carpet Floors
- Uneven or Rough Surfaces
- Those Needing Extra Height in their Chair (slightly more than 75mm twin-wheel)
- Those Looking for a More Modern Look
Soft Floor (Carpet) vs Hard Floor Casters:
Soft floor casters are constructed of a hard plastic and are designed to work best on carpeted floors. Soft floor casters are the default standard caster that most chairs come with, and are much more common to come across.
vs.
Hard floor casters are constructed of hard plastic, but also have a soft rubber or polyurethane coating on the outside of the wheels. Because the floor itself is hard, a soft coating on the caster provides additional grip (similar to the tread on a tire) and rolling smoothness needed for your chair to roll properly.
This soft coating also doubles as a protective material that helps defend your flooring from dings and scratches. When hard plastic carpet casters are used on hard floors with no protection, it’s not uncommon for there to be wear marks, scratches, and damage to the floor itself.
In addition to protecting your floor, you will also notice a significant decrease in rolling noise on hard surfaces when using hard floor casters.
There is also a safety aspect to this soft coating, as soft floor casters tend to slide a bit unpredictably on hard surfaces, and can easily roll further than expected. This can cause issues when sitting down in, or getting up from your office chair.
Ideal For Flooring Types:
- Wood / Hardwood Floors
- Concrete
- Laminate
- Epoxy
- Tile
- Chair Floor Mats

Remanufactured Steelcase V2 Leap Assembly Instructions Document:
Jeremy Brower (verified owner) –
Chair arrived in amazing condition. There was one very small part underneath one of the arms that had a corner broken off. Not a big deal, but when I called Crandall about it, they overnighted a replacement piece the same day, which I was able to easily replace. The chair looks brand new and is an awesome deal, and couldn’t ask for better customer service.
Anurag (verified owner) –
Excellent customer service. Chair arrived in excellent condition. I had ordered the wrong sized cylinder and when I called customer service, they sent the correct one at no cost.
Crandall will be my first choice for buying office furniture
CONRAD O. (verified owner) –
Chair is like a new item. Shipping was fast and the assembly instructions were a breeze to follow.
Jesse Bach (verified owner) –
I love the chair. It looks and feels like brand new. I went with the red fabric. Looks sharp. Great customer service. 👌
Sandy (verified owner) –
I love this chair! I went through several other chairs at lower price points and couldn’t find anything that worked for me. The lumbar support is amazing and I love that the arms adjust in toward my body. Most other chairs have arms that are too far out and completely useless for me. I couldn’t justify the Leap V2 at full cost, but the remanufactured version is amazing. It is super comfortable and apart from some minor scratching on the metal chair base you can’t tell that it isn’t brand new. It came partially assembled and the rest was easy. I am also very appreciative of the packaging–there was absolutely no styrofoam! Everything was cushioned with recyclable paper. There were a few pieces of bubble wrap on the arms and some pieces were wrapped in what seem to be clear trash bags, but those are reusable too!
Joshua Ketchum (verified owner) –
Frame has some wear, and there is a little noise when you recline which is to be expected with it being an older (but remanufactured) chair. Came with warped glides but Crandall was quick to replace them for me. Not sure why the polished aluminum version costs extra. But it’s a nice chair anyway.
Anonymous (verified owner) –
Absolutely love this chair. I had one at work and knew I wanted one when I started working from home. Crandall made it super easy and the price was excellent
