Steelcase is an excellent brand. Worth the money but generally these are built to last and can be fixed as needed by parts from them.
I'd def get a second hand bc of the ridiculous cost. I have a euro tech bought at the start of the pandemic for daily work use $700…good but after research regret not getting the steelcase 2nd hand.
I do not know anything about this vendor but seems ok. Note credit card warranty do not cover pre owned products
From someone that has a HM aeron, HM Mira 1, Steelcase Amia, Steelcase Leap V2, Haworth Zody, and Haworth Very: best bang for the buck is the Haworth Zody.
Most Comfortable :
1. Zody
2. Amia
3. Leap V2
Best Recline:
1. Leap V2
2. Zody
3. Amia
Widest:
1. HM aeron
2. Zody
3. Very
Armrest:
1. Leap V2/Amia
2. Zody
3. HM Aeron
Obviously my opinion, but I've actually own these. Another sleeper would be the Knoll Life chair that you can find on CL or FB for like $30. Most of my friends that sit on one prefer it more than the HM products.
January 14, 2013 I bought a brand new Leap Chair from AllModern, who at the time was an authorized dealer.
Happy with it, I then bought another new one in January 2021 (to put in front of my musical keyboard) from this thread: https://slickdeals.net/f/14775508-new-steelcase-leap-chair-705-tax-fs-black-amazon-seller-amazon-authorized-reseller
The problem i always had with "cheap" office chairs from Best Best or Office Depot, was that the chair would eventually detach from the base pole. ...usually resulting in me doing a dramatic and comical backwards roll-out off the chair like a SCUBA diver entering the water, when they finally catastrophically fail.
The new Leap I bought in 2021 had me convinced I'd finally left that design problem behind. ↑ (2013 one was also still going strong) ...by spending about 7 times what I had usually spent on a new office chair. (going from about $100 with cheap chairs, to a whopping $700 for a Leap)
Now as I sit in my old 2013 chair, it squeaks very loudly when it pivots. And now (in the last week or so) I have begun listing hard to the left. Plus plastic bits have been breaking off and disintegrating the whole time. I often find little bits of broken black plastic on my floor under my chair.
My point is just to say, even these "nice" chairs are still far from bulletproof, though they ARE considerably tougher than standard cheapo office chairs.
It's tough call, whether they are actually worth it or not.
Comfort-wise they are great, and that's definitely worth a lot, for the time that they are working.
I'm interested in trying a Herman Miller Aeron chair next, since that was always my neck-and-neck pick versus Steelcase Leap anyway.

Never bought second hand chairs before, is this a good deal? How worn would these open box return/grade A be?

I got a gesture for around this price on Black Friday a few years ago, solved my back pain from using a cheaper (but relatively reputable) chair. I'd definitely recommend it.

Is your 2013 Leap still covered with their 12-year warranty? I've read good things about Steelcase's warranty. It's one of the reasons why I got a Leap.
I've had mine for 5 months so far and enjoy it. My only complaint is the wobbly arms. There's slight play when they're extended.
I bought a Steelcase Amia in 2020 for about $700 because my $300 Serta chair was leaning to one side and giving me back pain. We had several steelcase chairs at work so i knew what was comfortable.
You can't go wrong with a Steelcase Leap or Gesture. I would not waste my money on any of the other cheaper chairs in this list with the open back design as I've sat on them at work, they're for conference rooms where nobody is using them for more than an hour or two- any longer and your back will hurt.
(Amia is a slightly simpler version of Leap that fits shorter people better)

I bought a Steelcase Leap Coach Edition (leather cushions) new in 2004 for about $1,400 and still think it was one of the best investments I ever made. Yes, I've had to replace the armrests a couple of times along the way as they wore out and started pitting. No, this chair has never squeaked or leaned over or wore out in any other way. My back thanks me every day.
