Frequently asked questions
What is the maximum weight capacity of the Steelcase Series 1?
The Steelcase Series 1 is rated for 120 kg. That is the most common capacity in this segment, enough for the large majority of body types. The figure covers the seated user, gas lift and base included. Staying below that limit is what keeps the seat mechanism healthy over the years.
Is the Steelcase Series 1 suitable for full time desk work?
Yes. It combines lumbar support, adjustable armrests, a reclining backrest and a breathable back. That covers 4 of the five comfort criteria we track, enough to fine tune your posture and shift your weight through a full day at the screen. Only a headrest is missing from the list.
What warranty comes with the Steelcase Series 1?
Steelcase quotes 12 years of warranty on this model. That is long cover, above what most chairs compared here offer. Set against the 450 euro asking price, that duration counts as much as the adjustments, since it sets how long the manufacturer stays committed.
Is the Steelcase Series 1 worth 450 euros?
At 450 euros it scores 4.5/5 across 920 Amazon reviews. That is one of the best scores in the category. We gave it our Pro quality, 12-year warranty label in the selection. Main strength: professional build quality. Main compromise: no headrest.
