Steelcase Series 1 Office Chair - Ergonomic Work Chair with Wheels for Carpet - Helps Support Productivity - Weight-Activated Controls, Back & Arm Support - Easy Assembly - Blue Jay

Good: Just about everything. Attractive design; easy to assemble; reasonably lightweight; easy to adjust; well-ventilated; comfortable in extended use; good price relative to similar chairs. Bad: The tops of the armrests move forward and back, left and right, very easily, with no way to lock them in place. More annoying than useful. The recliner allegedly has three settings plus lock. I can find no difference in the settings, all three let the back recline with too little pressure. I ended up locking the back in place. Bottom line: This replaced a 30-year-old midrange office chair that was on its last legs. Even allowing for age, the difference in adjustability and "sit" is obvious. Plus, this one doesn't creak every time I move. It isn't an Aeron, but it's closer than the one-third-the-price tag would suggest. I'm happy with it. Five stars.

Very comfortable. Lots of adjustments so you can find the right fit. Been using mine a lot. Been using one for 18 months and one for 6 months. Still look new. I'm 6'1" 250lbs so this chair has not had the easiest life. Very sturdy. Only downside is that the armrests are hard as rocks. Your elbows are going to get sore... fast. However, that is easily fixable with aftermarket armrest covers. Lots of options if you search for "Neoprene Chair Arm Pad Covers" or similar. I tried a few and these are the best blend of fit and comfort. Unlike some of the others they look like they are part of the chair and not some weird aftermarket thing. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BXBQ5AI I'm torn about giving this five stars. One one hand... it's not cheap, and this is a lot of money to pay for something with rock hard arm rests. On the other hand... it's easy to fix and even if you pay a few bucks for the aftermarket arm rests... this is STILL a bargain compared to other high end office chairs which are easily over 1K dollars. Let me put it this way... after buying the first one I was happy to buy a second. That's the ultimate endorsement right?

I work in an office where we have literally thousands of Steelcase Leap chairs. I've seen people abuse there's by spilling coffee, green smoothies, and yogurt on them. I've seen them used as step stools and used in 'chair races'. I've personally been using the same one for going on 4 years and I have *never* seen one break to the point of being unusable or beyond the point of repair. I also have an Interior Design degree specializing in Commercial office design and have a lot of respect for the Steelcase brand. That being said, I'm not prepared to spend $950 on a Leap chair...eek. While totally worth it, in my opinion, I wanted something a little cheaper for my home office. About 3 months ago I started having problems with my left hip. Like a lot of people, I was using a desk chair I had purchased at Office Depot...my 3rd in 5 years...and the seat was aggravating my hip. I knew I needed a good quality chair and I had noticed my hip NEVER hurt while at work using my Leap chair. I wanted to give Steelcase a shot. After looking at several Steelcase options, I came across the Series 1 and thought it hit all my high points - lower lumbar support, adjustments for seat depth and seat height, and adjustable arms. And best of all the price wasn't super ridiculous. I had been paying around $150 per chair I bought at Office Depot - 3 chairs totaling $450 - the $430 for the Series 1 didn't look so bad. So I took a chance on a $430 chair that had zero reviews. :) It came fully put together in a large box. It was secured well enough and there was no damage in shipping to the chair. The chair is also super light weight so it was no problem hauling it upstairs fully assembled. It has a nice firm seat that is comfortable and has helped immensely with my hip pain. And while the lumbar support isn't quite as strong as I like, it does give support and I really like the shape of the back of the chair. It feels molded to my back and the mesh is very breathable. The only negative I can give this chair is the arms feel a little flimsy. I feel like I need to be careful with how much pressure I put on the arms getting up and down for fear they might weaken over time. No issues as of yet though. TLDR? I sincerely wish I could give this a 4.5! I feel that would be perfect and very fair. I can't in good conscious give it a full 5 stars because of the arms, but I feel this is a great chair and worth the higher price tag. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone that wants a good quality chair by a respected name that will last for several years.

This Steelcase Series 1 chair is made with good quality material, multi-point adjustability, very easy to assemble without having to use any tool, and best for me was its seat height that goes low enough for short people like me. I can sit right with both of my feet firmly on the ground and I can feel a good lumber support. It would even be better if the depth of lumber support can also be adjusted in addition to the position. Also, it is not easy to adjust the lumber support balanced - left and right side does not move up and down together, meaning one side can be higher while the other is lower. But this chair really brings comfort for the entire day, fits perfectly for a short people. Highly recommend!

This is the best chair that I've ever owned. It is both light and strong. Assembly is very easy. The design is different and prevents the chair from breaking at the nuts and bolts area that previous chairs have broken for me. I have recommended this chair to family and friends and I will buy another if this chair ever fails, which is not looking likely. Also, the armrests are good and very adjustable, which is very useful.

I'm 6'3" and weigh 205lbs, this chair was much smaller than it looked in the photos (I guess I should've read the dimensions 1st) was easy to assemble but compared to other "mid back" chairs selling for the same price, I found this chair to lack adjustments and overall felt fragile. The recline spring, in the strongest position didn't hold my weight. This caused me to sit in an uncomfortable position. It was fairly simple to disassemble but you need a hammer and pipe wrench (as per Steel cases disassembly video). Amazon allowed me to return it for free, and I purchased the Hon Ignition 2.0 which I would highly recommend if you're a bit bigger. Get the head rest too.

Good chair, had it for two months, super easy assembly, a $700 chair in Canada. On the other hand, this chair won several "best of category" awards by major media so it's a good chair and quite comfortable. I am a little worried about how it will hold up, as it seems less sturdy than the Alera Elusion chair (another award winner, $450 in Canada) that I also bought two months ago.

très facile à assembler - légère, confortable, très jolie en bleu...

En general es una muy buena silla, vale lo que cuesta. Su diseño ergonómico la hace muy cómoda para estar sentado varias horas. Muy resistente y construcción robusta. Si estabas buscando comprar una herman miller pero el precio es muy elevado, definitivamente esta es una opción perfecta.

Exactamente lo que esperaba por una silla de 500 USD. Duradera, cómoda y práctica. Excelente opción para Homeoffice. Vale la pena invertir un poco en algo que vas a usar 10+ horas al día
