my steelcase leap v2 from 2ndhnd is going strong about 4-5 years on.
I think if it's in a state fabric wise when they get them they'll reupholster it themselves and they combine the nice parts from the less presentable chairs into fewer "good ones".
mine felt pretty much brand new with a couple of small very light scuff marks on the wheel castors legs from someone resting their shoes on it but it had brand new fabric and all the moving parts were in perfect condition.
I was able to get a leap v2 with the draughtsman version of the gas lift and foot ring when i purchased which increases the usable height quite a bit (for sitting at drafting tables etc) and makes the lowest setting around normal desk height. might be worth asking them if they have any of those in stock as you might get a better sitting position with the extra height at 6'4" especially if you paired with a slightly taller desk.

I had a very good experience buying a Steelcase Please V2 2nd hand. I paid £190 and could hardly detect any signs of use. Am 6'3" and find it very comfortable.

New desk if off the list for now but I definitely need a new chair, I've just moved house and I'm currently sat on a packing box. My budget is around £300 - £500, with the lower end being preferable. I'm looing for all the usual adjustability, lumbar support etc. I'm 6'4". I really like the look of the Steelcase Series 1/2. 2ndhnd also have a load of Steelcase Leap V1s (£250 ish) which I think are probably better chairs but don't look as good. What's the deal with 2ndhnd? Are the chairs decent? I know they're refurbished but I'm worried about how thrashed they are. I guess for the price, even if it only lasts me a year or so I'd be doing okay.
