Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The chair seems to be comparable to an Aeron, Mirra, or Liberty, though it seems to fit smaller frames a little better.
The Leap has the usual set of adjustments that are necessary to make a decent quality chair. The armests can adjust inward quite a bit which is good for folks with narrow shoulders. The seatpan can also slide back quite far.
The recline mechanism is quite different than other chairs. As another reviewer commented, the back reclines and the seatpan stays flat (this is not unusual and nor is it bad), but the seatpan slides forward just a bit. It has not caused me any problems/injuries and I find the recline mechanism to be quite comfortable. You should try it and see if it works before you buy it (if you are given that choice).
The seat has an adequate amount of cushion and is much "cushier" than an Aeron or Mirra, but not as cushy as the gel-seat on a Freedom. The back lacks much cushion, but I find it to be softer (i.e. comfortable) than the Aeron/Mirra.
The three major complaints is that the chair curves back a bit too much and lacks upper back/shoulder support. The second complaint is the recline is really an all-or-nothing thing. Either you turn off the recline to sit up straight or you lean back until you hit the stop (adjustable) and sit that way. Lumbar support is pretty wimpy--it pretty much depends on the curve in the chair which puts my shoulders/upper back in a bit of a reclined position--I don't like that at all.
With the recline enabled, it's hard to sit up straight and get enough back support... if you turn up the tension high enough to sit up straight, then it's really too hard to lean back.
As far as quality, the v2 does feel lighter and "cheaper" than the v1. The claim is because its using more environmentally friendly parts, recyclable, etc. I haven't had any problems and expect it'll last aslong as my Freedom and Mirra.
Personally, I prefer the Freedom for reclining. I has a much better mechanism and provides proper head support.
