I highly don't recommend buying from them. I bought a steelcase leap v2 in platinum color and it's clear that the base of the chair is a cheap knockoff.

Crappy silver spraypaint that flakes, the wheels barely work, the piston was broken on delivery (which they did replace for free).

I've had problems with the chair being too low at max height and I am a short guy. I still don't know if it's their cheap base that's the culprit or that's just the design.

Thanks for saying this. Before I read your comment, I thought they were selling opened box or used Steelcase chairs, but 100% authentic. There's nothing on the site that I could find that discloses that parts of the chairs are not authentic. If that's the case, it's super shady of them.

I've been dealing with them for years and never saw anything shady. Perhaps the GP got unlucky and was unwittingly sold chairs with replacement parts.

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for but for some reason was unable to find.
