What are the differences between Steelcase Series 2 and Series 1?

The biggest difference between the two chairs is in size and features.

Backrest
Steelcase Series 2: Wider and taller backrest for increased support.
Series 1: More compact backrest, offering a smaller footprint.
Arm design
Steelcase Series 2: Arms are connected to the mechanism, staying parallel to the ground when reclining for consistent support.
Series 1: Arms are attached to the backrest and move slightly upward when reclining, adapting naturally to movement.

Both great options for long hours of work!

What height and body weight is Steelcase Series 2 best suited for?

The Steelcase Series 2 weight limit was tested up to 160 kg and is best suited for users with body heights ranging from 150 cm to 190 cm.

Why might the dimensions you measure at home differ from the dimensions listed on our website?

Steelcase task chairs are measured according to the EN 1335-1:2020 standard using a professional chair measuring device (CMD). Seat height is determined based on the angle of the seat, so the measurement point can change depending on how the chair is positioned during testing. Because this standardised method uses specialised equipment and defined conditions, it can’t be replicated with at-home measurements. As a result, small differences are normal and expected, but they don’t affect the chair’s comfort, adjustability, or performance.
