Summary

A light Steelcase task chair with a weight-activated recline and adjustable lumbar as standard.

Best for

  • People who want the recline to set itself to their weight.
  • Users up to 400 lb, Steelcase's stated rating.
  • Moving the chair often; Steelcase lists it at 35 lb.

Good to check first

  • Recline is set with a four-setting comfort dial rather than a tension knob.
  • 4D arms are one of several arm choices, so pick them when you configure.
  • Taller desks may need the optional 7" cylinder (18"–25" seat height).

The trade-off

Simple, self-adjusting recline in a light frame, with fewer manual settings than Steelcase's Leap.

What Steelcase highlights

  • LiveBack flexor system

    The back flexes as you move. Steelcase says it follows your movement through the day.

  • Weight-activated recline

    The back resistance sets itself to the sitter's weight. A comfort dial adds an upright lock, a mid-back stop and a boost setting.

  • Adjustable lumbar

  • Arm and back choices

    Arms come as 4D, height-adjustable, fixed or armless. The back comes in quilted, upholstered or 3D knit versions.
