Purchased a steelcase chair that arrived with an obviously broken back. I was very frustrated, but all it took was sending them a photo via ebay and they agreed to send me a replacement free of charge.

Great chair - good price
January 29, 2025

I got a Leap Chair by Steelcase from Madison Seating. While there was initially an issue with the arms, they promptly sent replacements to resolve the problem. Their customer service is top notch!

Ordered a Herman Miller and it was delivered with a small hole in the seating. So I called and asked if they could give me a replacement. They said no, imperfections are why they are discounted. I accepted that reasoning and fix the chair myself, left them a 5 star review on ebay. Fast forward to now and I am looking to buy another office chair and they have blocked me from buying from them!? I was told if you ever return anything that you are banned from buying again, but I never returned anything. Way to do business!

I've used Madison Seating on three separate occasions. The first time was in 2020 and it all went fairly smooth and the chair had some flaws but for the value I was fine with it. Unfortunately that chair broke in 2021 and had to stop using it. I purchased the same chair in 2021 and have not had any issues with it. The quality was a little better than the one purchased in 2020. The last chair and reason for my review was purchased in 2023. The chair arrived and cosmetically looked just as good as the second chair. The issue was with the stability of the back. You can hear the chair making noises when leaning back and it was not supporting my back as firmly as the past two chairs did. Since Madison offers a 30 Day money back guarantee I requested a return. They expect me to pay for a return of a defective item. Instead of arguing with them I simply told them I will eat the cost as a business expense. Stay away from this company. They are not operating in good faith.

I purchase a steelcase chair from them and it was advertised as open box. But I received a steelcase chair with very poor condition which were used like 6-7 years. Chair legs were rusted on most of the places and they tried to paint it to cover the rust and it was still visible. It came in a regular box, Not its original box. Its a overused very old chairs in many years. They describe it as a New - OPEN BOX. And I returned it back but never received my money back. Then I submitted dispute through my credit card company. After a month their customer service called yelling at me on the phone and threatened me about the sending to court. Its a joke company. Waste of time and Money.

I ordered a few chairs, and they sent me the wrong color. After contacting them through email, btw the only way to communicate with them. They would not ship the correct color I ordered and offered me to ship the items back at my cost of over $100.00 due to their error. I just felt like they do not care about their customers at all. Absolutely a terrible experience.

I ordered 2 chairs and specificed the color and they sent me the wrong color. They would not own up to it and correct the mistake. They were argumentative via email and I got the feeling they just don't care about their customers.

I ordered a steel series leap v2 from Madison seating and it arrived in 3 days! Unfortunately it arrived broken. I reached out to the Madison seating customer service team and they immediately offered to send a replacement at no cost to me. Would recommend.

Purchased the Steelcase Leap V2 in black fabric after doing extensive research on ergonomic chairs. Chose this over the Herman Miller Aeron, and don't regret it. Madison seating has probably the best deals online, and shipping was pretty quick as well. Our chair did come damage due to shipping unfortunately, however I reached out to their customer service team and they were quick to respond and handle the matter easily. Would definitely purchase from them again, great customer service!

Buyer Beware! Pls read the 1-star reviews before your purchase. This company has a very unscrupulous business model, whereby they ship a defective chair, ask for a false positive review in exchange for shipping a "free" replacement which turns out to be a different model. Then they want the customer to pay for return shipping and a restocking fee for their discrepant shipment. Madison Seating clearly does not stand behind their "100% Customer Satisfaction" claim. Thankfully, my credit card company agreed with the facts and credited me for the entire purchase. It was an exhaustive experience that I don't wish upon anyone.

Positive Experience with multiple chairs
June 29, 2022

We purchased a couple of chairs from Madisonseating at a significant savings (I believe during their sale the purchase price was 85% off retail) and the experience overall was positive. I will agree with an alternate reviewer that their in-stock status was inaccurate, but when I reached out for a status update they gave me an updated time frame and offered to cancel my order if the updated timing removed our interest. Once the chairs did arrive (delayed, but then everything we've been ordering has been) the chairs seemed new or very near new. One of the chairs did start showing some issues within a month, and the support team responded with options within 24 hours. I will be ordering from them again in the future.

If you buy from them on eBay they claim to have a 30 day, hassle free guarantee. Well good luck because if you try to ship anything back the customer service department gets all petty and acts like it's coming out of their pocket. Shipped my chairs back at their expense (thanks eBay) and they only partially refunded my orders, stating the chairs were now in 'used condition'! So they took about $250 from my refund. Crooks, liars, scam artists

I love this chair - it's extremely comfortable and the price for an open box refurbished chair was great. Service team was also helpful resolving a minor issue with shipping.

Awesome customer service and pricing
January 28, 2021

I recently ordered an office chair through Madison Seating. As I searched different websites, I found their pricing to be extremely competitive. Once I ordered, I was updated regularly by email. The chair arrived, but FedEx during the shipment had beat up the box pretty badly affecting the chair. I took pictures and contacted service. They responded quickly and offered a great solution. My replacement chair order is in process. Thank you Madison customer service. Nice job!

Responsive Customer Service
February 12, 2021

I purchased a Haworth Improv HE chair from Madison seating because they had the most competitive pricing. The chair shipped quickly and the company kept us informed throughout the process. The chair arrived quickly. The appearance was in perfect condition but unfortunately, it did not function properly. I notified customer service and they quickly responded by offering to send a replacement at no further cost if I posted a review. We are appreciative of their accommodating customer service and would order from them again.

Great Customer Service
November 3, 2021

I have been using a cheaper chair for many months, which eventually started hurting my back from sitting all day working at home. I decided to upgrade to a nice chair and was very excited to buy the chair I ordered from Madison Seating since I was able to get it "open box" at such a great deal. The chair unfortunately didn't come in the best condition and seemed to suffer a few damages in transportation. However, I contacted customer support and they responded promptly and were able to resolve the problem quickly. I'm happy with my experience!

Just writing to say madisonseating.com provided me with my purchased Leap Chair V2 as soon as possible. Great wheels, sleek base and the fabric was grade A and clean. They also have fantastic customer service who email promptly and address whatever issues may be had. I had a slight issue with a chair cylinder and they very hastily sent me a new one. I look forward to recommending these guys to any one in need of a relatively new chair in mint condition.

Don't waste your time
June 21, 2022

Their website is inaccurate regarding what items are in stock. Their customer service is rude and and unable to provide useful information. I would have gladly either waited for them to fulfill my order and been willing to pay more for a comparable product but their customer service acts like they're doing you a personal favor by assisting with a sale. They make it really hard to give them money in exchange for a product - bad business.
