Steelcase Series 1

The Steelcase Series 1 uses your body weight to automatically calibrate the recline resistance. You don't need to fiddle with tension knobs; the chair provides the right amount of pushback as soon as you sit down, making it ideal for shared workspaces or users who prefer a 'set it and forget it' experience.

Yes, the Series 1 is surprisingly robust for its compact size, supporting up to 400 lbs. However, because it is designed with a smaller footprint, those who prefer a wider seat pan or a more expansive backrest may find it feels a bit snug compared to larger executive chairs.

The LiveBack technology is designed to mimic the movement of your spine, providing consistent support as you shift positions. It also includes height-adjustable lumbar support, allowing you to fine-tune the pressure to your lower back for better comfort during extended sitting.

The chair arrives partially disassembled and requires some assembly. You will need to attach the base, casters, and backrest, but the process is straightforward and typically takes about 15 to 20 minutes with the included instructions.

Yes, the flexible edges are designed to bend when you shift your weight or sit at an angle. This helps reduce pressure points behind your thighs, which is a common source of discomfort and restricted circulation during long hours at a desk.

Absolutely. The Series 1 is specifically engineered with a compact profile, making it one of the best options for tighter spaces where a bulky, full-sized office chair would feel overwhelming or take up too much floor space.
