Hi all - just wanted to chime in.  I've had the Steelcase Leap v2 for a couple of months now, and can really say that it was a great buy.  For 5 years my chair was an Aeron classic size B, and I didn't think anything would be able to live to up it. 

The adjustability of the Leap v2 is great, but takes a little while to dial in the perfect setting - but once you find it, you forget all about the chair, which is exactly what we want.  The frameless seat and backrest are extremely comfortable, and the armrest adjustability many times better than my Aeron.  In my work I have to adjust the armrests often, so the Steelcase style is great for me.  I also like moving my legs around once in a while, so the flexible seat pan and frameless design are a plus.  I thought the seatpan cushion looked thin in photos, but in person it's not hard at all, and very dense, so your butt will never hurt.  The fabric is good, though I have to admit I always use it in an air-cond room, so I don't know how it responds to sweaty conditions.  It came with an add-on headrest, not the same material as the rest of the chair, but ok enough for leaning back.  I suppose you could buy a better aftermarket headrest, but it's not a big deal to me.

I still love my Aeron because of the nice floaty hammock feel and zero hotspot pressure points on the legs, but this Leap V2 is right up there with it.  I'm 180cm and 90kg, but the chair doesn't feel small or weak at all.  In fact it's bigger than it looks in photos.  I shared the two for RM5.2k promo with someone, so 2.6k is a bargain for a chair of this quality.  Casters are first class too.

Zenpro distributes Steelcase, and their showroom is in Menara Prima in PJ.  For those looking for HM chairs in KL, Trax in Bangsar is the official distributor, but prices are high.  If you have the budget for it, go for it, but personally with the way the Steelcase performs, that Leap or Gesture deserve a look regardless of budget.  Presented with the choice of two leap v2 chairs for RM5200, or one Aeron remastered for RM7200, it would be an easy decision for me. :-)

I think all cushion seats will have heat issues. Judging from the forum's responses, most of us don't switch on aircond all the time unfortunately.

Hey guys, hopefully this is the right place to ask...

I'm looking for a chair, let's just say 2k budget to give myself more options. My preferences:
- mesh, tall back
- with back rest
- with head rest
- with arm rest
- I don't need lightning speed wheels cuz I don't move around much

About me/usage:
Height around 165cm
Not overweight
Heavy daily usage, especially with WFH these days, more than 10 hours daily. I'm looking for something that doesn't get stuffy with long hours, without AC.

A simple Google fetched me many results, but a little too much it's hard for me to choose...
*
Im using ErgoPro myself, with legrest.
My main concern is like you, don't wanna get stuffy without AC, which works for me thanks to the mesh.
You should go and test it out.

I vaguely remember ErgoNovis is much more comfortable but then the price is also skyhigh, at that price point i rather top up and get Herman Miller. So i went for ErgoPro, with additional leg rest cause I do watch movies from my PC and it's nice to just lounge.

Thanks for the suggestion. Good point about leg rest, I hadn't thought of that at all! I also watch movies from my PC often, but coming from a plastic chair, there's not much luxury to start with XD
Hmmm the head rest looks like leather though... I'm afraid it won't last as long as fabric because I sweat a lot ๐Ÿ˜… how about heat and sticky feels, how has it been for you to rest your neck on that on hot days?

About testing it out.... Is that available during FMCO (god knows how long this will last)? Actually I'll drop them a message see how this goes haha.

(Still open to more suggestions if anyone else has any!)
*
Im not as tall as you, so my head actually doesn't really reach the neck rest. I had to put an extra pillow between the neck rest and back rest.
It's just PVC, not really leather, so yes it might be deteriorate over time for sure.

Yeah the leg rest was a god send, alternatively you can also get those old school lounge chair that can be folded that costs about RM100 bucks or from Lazada Shopee when you want to watch shows.

More than 6 months. So far mesh is holding up well for me.

Two things: price and fit.  The price difference was pretty big.  Gesture is RM4k and the Leap with promo was RM2.6K.  Without the promo, the Leap is RM3.8k so that would have made a tougher choice in terms of price.

At the showroom I tried both chairs.  The Leap just felt better for me.  I guess the shape just happened to be a good fit.  I love the look and seatpan adjustment system (knob type) of the Gesture, but the Leap won on feel and the promo of course.

Does Steelcase has full mesh option instead of the cushioned seat?

Seems like chair price is increasing currently.
Is there a good chair with a leg rest that can recline and lock in place with the budget of around 700?

Reason for above requirement is because I plan to use that chair to sit in front of TV and watching movies/console gaming as well.

I saw many gaming chair with that budget that advertise those function, but I wonder is there an office chair alternative.
*
You might have some luck with on Lazada, but have to order from China. Cause of the leg rest part. not a lot of chairs offer that.
Gaming chair is really warm i reckon, so unless you are in 24 hours AC room. Mesh would be a better option.

I am using ErgoPro myself from Evis, bought last year approximately around August - September.

I am pretty OCD person myself and I do wipe down the chair a lot. But there's one place that I cannot reach which is HERE (picture below).
I checked with Evis, they said they cannot remove the mesh seat or anything. So how am i supposed to clean this area? doh.gif
Because it's mesh seat, and when you start shaking the chair or violently jerk the chair, the dust will start to fall off to the floor.

I can only think of using water to wash the entire chair down? Or buy compressed air and blow them out of the are.

Any ideas?

Maybe vacuum with extra fine tip? Cant really tell how small is the gap.
Compressed will get quite expensive.  biggrin.gif

can't vacuum with the extra fine tip.
I will have to get compressed air lah. For that area can only clean like once every 3 months or so if like that.

Fancy voiding warranty? icon_idea.gif
U can disassemble the chair and clean the particular part most likely it doesnโ€™t involve anything with the gas cylinder, hence making it simple as removing a couple of screws, etc.

For example I cleaned my seat fabric the other day, all it take is just 4 Torx T40 screws, then the others are pretty straight forward

Get a blower instead, higher pressure and over the long run cheaper than compressed air can.
Not to mention can use to blow dust out of other hard to reach areas too

Blower is huge no? I donโ€™t really know what to use it for apart from the chair.

yeah kinda. Can use to blow dust out of hard to reach places like under the bed. I just did that a week ago and damn so many dust was blown out.
Long run cheaper to use blower la, 30-40 if you use cheap one, 100+ for more branded one. 1 can of compressed air can already 20

Where got 30-40 so cheap one.

Hi, Can you share some snapshot of the Ergopro with the legrest extended? I can't find the relevant detail on their website. Do you think the legrest a worthy upgrade and comfortable? Overall, do you recommend the Ergopro over other brands? My height is at 165cm

*I wish i'm able to try out all the recommended chairs myself, unfortunately i'm situated in the northern most state of our country, so can only make selection base on reviews.

I found the price will be 2599 ordering from their website. Care to share how much you got it for?

Thx
*
I can't tell you much as I am 159CM. But for me it's comfy and i love the leg rest because i get to enjoy movies while lounging on the chair at the end of the day. It's comfortable, love the mesh seats and backrest as it's cooling, i don't spend my time in AC room 24 hours. I don't find the back support/lumbar support that useful, but maybe because of my height. Quality is wise is a very solid, heavy chair, quite bulky though i feel (maybe because I have smaller frame). I thought of changing the chair because of its size but I kinda don't wanna give up the leg rest!

I bought an Sihoo M18 will extended footrest from TB using third party shipper around RM130+ deliver until doorstep. Chair itself after discount 629RMB.
The extended footrest turns out to be waste of money as even fully extended my leg is way longer than it.

Seat itself comfortable but the lumbar support is awful. 2 yrs in I'm thinking of getting rid of already so really depending on individual.
Comparatively Markus treated my lumbar better, with Steelcase Leap is even better.

I always wonder how do people get rid of their office chairs.

Used to be a fan of secretlab, but not very pleased with their quality after buying 2 chairs over the span of 8 years

1) 1st chair was the standard secretlab with p.u leather - p.u leather peeled off after a year, and it looks horrible

2) ordered the second secretlab chair - titan with nappa leather. Very expensive and as Malaysia did not have this model, had to order it on the sg site and have it shipped here. Leather was fine but overall the chair was hard as a rock. (read the reviews online) - very uncomfortable after extended periods.

Right now using okamura contessa seconda, couldn't be happier. The chair costs more than the two secretlab chairs combined, but it's well worth the investment.

Where did you get your okamura from?

Ok I will listen to your complaint about medical fees because of spine issues later ok. And a lot of other health issues since spine affects a lot other parts of the body.

And probably obesity also since you love McDonaldโ€™s so much. XD
