Like shoes, mattresses, etc... a chair is a very personal thing and price and general reputation is not always a good indication of how well you will feel.
My wife recently decided to buy one too, and she got hers refurbished from a company called BTOD. I was impressed with the quality. It was indistinguishable from mine (which I bought new) and cost half the price.
(Maybe it's the same for you? I'm looking at Steelcase's web site and the Leap 2 is now just called "Leap".)
The Leap 1 has a small back. The Leap 2 is much taller.
If you bought yours new in 2018, it'll be a 2, since apparently the 2 was introduced in 2006.
Have been with the Steelcase Amia for 2 years now and am quite happy.
I ended up giving that to my ex and getting a new one exactly how I wanted it and have no regrets, even though it was really expensive. The Gesture really is a lovely chair.
You pay a lot less if you get one refurbished.
One thing I haven't seen mentioned: I have a two laptop stands, and a KVM switch to flip my screen, keyboard, mouse and a decent powered USB hub between my work laptop and personal laptop. Pretty handy.
Also an aquarium. Nice to have a bit of life and movement in the room. Hard plastic carpet protector. Office chairs can be murder on carpet.
Or you could just stand up and largely solve most of those issues.
It seems like few people / few company cares about their chair quality.
The Herman Miller Embody is a wild mix of both at a $1,500-$2,000 price tag.
The kinds of chairs selling to gen z and millenials seem to be reflective of what the youtubers and streamers use.
