LiveBack lumbarHeight-adjustable lumbarNatural Glide tiltLimited Lifetime warranty

What We Like

The manufacturer's spec sheet states a LiveBack lumbar whose height and tension both adjust.
It carries a Steelcase Limited Lifetime warranty, per the manufacturer.
Its 500 lb stated capacity is the third-highest in its category.

Watch Out For

Its Comfort Index of 2 is the lowest in its category, because the listing does not state the cushion, back material, recline, headrest or arm details that feed it.
Owner feedback is thin: 25 reviews average 3.8.

At a Glance

Steelcase lists the Leap Plus with a Natural Glide System tilt and a LiveBack lumbar, but few other specs.

Who This Chair Is For

Sitters who need a stated capacity of 500 lb.
Buyers comparing tilt systems, since the Natural Glide System is named.

Who Should Look Elsewhere

Buyers on a budget, since it is the highest-priced of any published chair.
Buyers who need arm, headrest or recline details before buying, since the listing does not state them.
