Crandall Office Furniture Tracking Order Status

I bought the Steelcase Leap V2 chair through Crandall, remanufactured, and saved about $1000 on buying the same exact chair brand new. Even just the optional, polished aluminum frame alone would have cost me an extra $400 to buy new. My chair with the 5% discount was just under $800. It was delivered 13 days early. I did have to remove the seat and adjust the gas cylinder again to make it tighter after assembling, and I found out you need a screwdriver with a 10 inch shank, meaning about 14 inches overall, so I had to buy that from Amazon for $12, but other than that I'm very impressed with this chair and the entire experience, start to finish. It had no significant scratches of any kind whatsoever, their BioKnit fabric was a good choice, and after just two days in the chair (and with the addition of stretching), the back pain I've been experiencing for the past few months is starting to go away. Their office staff has been very easy to deal with and helpful with any questions, and their videos on YouTube were very helpful. I like this chair so much I'm thinking about buying a second one from them in the near future, and have been recommending them to everyone I know. I could have bought this chair for about $500 used, but it wouldn't have been with new arm pads, gas cylinder, slightly thicker foam than original, etc., and most of all, their 12 year warranty. Crandall is very, very highly recommended. In my experience, they are an excellent business; the way businesses in America used to be.

Pros: They sell refurbished versions of expensive chairs for half the price. Cons: You get what you pay for. Even though the chair looks improved on the outside, the mechanism is very much defective. I received a wobbly crooked chair that was causing me back pain I never had before in a boring dining room chair. I tried to show them photos of my chair being crooked but they said there's nothing wrong with it. In the end I had to return my chair back to them and I got charged a fee because I didn't see the fine print hidden in their site that custom design chairs have a restocking fee. I ended up throwing away $80 into the toilet and ultimately I just bought a brand new Herman Miller chair that has not caused me any back pain. Do not buy refurb chairs, it's just not the same.

I purchased a refurbished Steelcase Leap v2 from Crandall. It was between Crandall and BTOD. They are both great companies. In fact, my last new chair was from BTOD. Crandall won this purchase because they use totally new foam pads that are 3/4" thicker than OEM. Frankly, I was a pain in the neck customer. I admit it. Firstly, I had trouble putting the chair together. The gliders were hard for me because I didn't read the directions and I have zero mechanical reasoning. They talked me through it. I had the plastic backwards. Secondly, I was complaining about the lack of lumbar support. Again, my bad. I hadn't read the directions and had the adjustment knobs reversed in my mind. They straighten me out and the lumbar was fine. The chair feels like new because most of it is and the steel guts are renewed beautifully. Throughout my being a pain, Kim Koster was very patient with me. The chair is top notch and in my opinion superior to a new one, due to the thicker OEM cushion. The customer service is better than top notch. The folks are genuinely kind and concerned. They WANT you to be happy with their products.

A lot of companies give good service, and some excellent, but Crandall Office refurbished furniture gave me outstanding service! I'm old enough to try the printed directions first, before looking online for videos. I was assembling a Steelcase Leap chair, and one thing wasn't really explained in the written instructions, and I had a problem with the adjustment of the chair. Crandall, worked with me for over a week to help me figure it out, and then tell me which video to watch. They were incredibly helpful, both by email and by phone, and we resolved my problem. I recommend them to everyone who wants reconditioned office furniture at a reasonable price. They aren't the cheapest, but the quality of their work, and dedication to helping customers resolve their issues is worth every penny.

I ordered a Steelcase Gesture factory return from Crandall Office and could not ask for a better experience. The price was excellent, it shipped immediately, arrived quickly, and is exactly what I needed. I can't recommend them highly enough.
