Our current inventory of black frame Steelcase Think chairs do not have the optional sliding adjustable lumbar pad.
Every Think is fully remanufactured by Crandall Office Furniture, and includes the following:

New Seat Pad:
We’re excited to announce that we are now offering a brand new seat pad on all of our Steelcase Think Chairs.
Our new seat pad is made of high density molded foam, identical to the Steelcase OEM seat pads (including the contoured shape of the original), except we’ve chosen to add an additional 1/2″ of thickness to our new seat cushion for additional comfort. On top of that, our new seat pad is made right here in the U.S.A. and the original foam pad is sent to our foam supplier to be recycled! Win-Win-Win!!
The result is a brand new, thicker seat on every Steelcase Think chair we sell!
- Brand New Virgin Foam Seat Pad (Never Sat In)
- +1/2″ of Additional Thickness
- High Density Molded Foam
- Contoured Shape
- Increased Comfort
- Made in the USA

Steelcase V1 Think 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 Think 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!

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
