Verdict. The Steelcase Please revolves around its dual backrest with the patented LTC2 mechanism: instead of a single panel, two independent sections support the lumbar and thoracic areas separately, so each part of the back gets its own tension. It adds an adjustable-depth seat and very complete armrests. The catch is the one common to every Steelcase contract chair: it's an expensive buy with a foam-upholstered backrest (not mesh), and the warranty rewards the frame above each component equally.

What the community says

Steelcase is a benchmark brand in contract office furniture, with a strong reputation for durability. The Please is known for its dual LTC2 backrest, an unusual solution: each backrest section supports a different region of the back. As a professional- and project-channel chair, end-user reviews are fewer than for consumer brands, but the available consensus rates it a serious, long-lived option. Note the tiered warranty: lifetime frame, 12 years on mechanisms and 5 years on upholstery.
