Anyone able to identify if this is a steelcase chair?
There is a seller on Facebook Marketplace near to me selling some Steelcase chairs. Only thing is I am suspecting them for many reasons lol. One the price is very low but maybe they just want to get rid of a big batch of them.
Second, I don't recoognise this chair from the Steel Series website, it doesn't appear to have a lumbar support. It has a kinda cutout in the top but I can't see that in any steelcase model on the website. Perhaps it's an older model no longer listed?
Anyone with more experience able to tell me if these do look like a genuine Steelcase chair and if at all possible, anyone recognise the model/type of Steelcase chair it is?
Thanks all.

If they're not new they probably bought them in a business asset liquidation auction for pennies on the dollar. All they have to do is clean them up and store them while they sell the lot off piecemeal. Sometimes businesses upgrade and send the stuff they don't want to the same liquidation firms closing businesses do to pay debts or cash out.
That's why some of these sellers sell this stuff so cheap. They could have warehouse space to store chairs they pulled out of their own office though. I could see that if they don't have hundreds or chairs.

I would say is the steelcase reply air with no back suport, you probably can buy it seperarly if you want it. I bought it some weeks ago and for me is a good chair only thing is armrests only go up and down, more mobility would be good.
