Used Steelcase Leap Chairs in San Jose & the Bay Area

Steelcase Leap remains one of the most requested task chairs among Bay Area facility managers, and our San Jose warehouse regularly carries both V1 and V2 models from enterprise decommissions. Leap's LiveBack technology and adjustable lumbar make it a strong fit for all-day desk work in tech, finance, and healthcare settings. We inspect back flex, seat sliders, arm adjustments, and casters on every unit, then assign a condition grade. Need a matched set for a trading floor or call center? Inventory turns weekly. Visit the showroom to test sit, or send your quantity and preferred generation for a same-day quote when inventory allows.

Used Steelcase Leap V1 and V2 Office Chairs

Specs & buying guide

Leap V1 vs. V2 identification

Leap V2 (2006+) has a taller back profile, redesigned arm caps, and a different seat-edge foam shape. V1 chairs have a shorter back and older arm pad design. Both use Steelcase's LiveBack; V2 refinements include improved arm adjustability and updated textiles. Check the label under the seat pan for the model generation when comparing units on our floor.

Adjustments to verify

Seat depth, lumbar height, arm width and height, tilt tension, and upper back stop. Our inspection checklist covers each adjustment before a chair is graded .

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Leap V1 and V2?
V2 offers a taller back, updated arm design, and refined seat-edge comfort. V1 remains a solid ergonomic chair at a lower price point. We stock both when available and label each unit clearly.
Are used Leap chairs suitable for 8+ hour desk work?
Yes. Leap was designed for extended seated work. We only list chairs that pass our function inspection — if lumbar or tilt is compromised, the chair is not sold.
Can you match fabric colors across a large order?
We do our best to match textiles within a batch. For strict color uniformity, visit the showroom or request photos of the specific units we would reserve for your order.
Do you buy back or trade in old Leap chairs?
We purchase used office furniture from Bay Area companies that are downsizing or relocating. See our We Buy Used Office Furniture page for intake details.
How quickly can you fulfill a 30-chair Leap order?
Timing depends on live inventory. Many orders ship within days from our San Jose warehouse. Share your deadline on the quote form and we will confirm availability.
