Ask HN: Best WFH Purchases?

I definitely endorse the idea of getting a Steelcase chair, though my positive experience is with a Leap 2.

(Maybe it's the same for you? I'm looking at Steelcase's web site and the Leap 2 is now just called "Leap".)

Hard to say. I can't find any explanation of the differences between v1 and v2. I bought mine in April 2018 from Amazon, and my receipt just says, "Steelcase Leap, Black" with no version.

the lateral movement of the armrest I think is v2 only?

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.

Ah, that's helpful, thanks! I do indeed have the Leap 2.
