There were shipping delays due to covid, which are understandable. I admit I was a little frustrated when shipping was assured and then didn't happen, but the response team got back to me on the weekend and made sure that my chair went out first thing the next week. I do understand this is an extraordinary time and there are extraordinary demands on us all.
Understandably this is a refurbished item although the item arrived dirty and not in an ideal condition. I would have expected that someone would have atleast made and attempt to clean the chair. The base of the chair was extremely dirty to the point that I returned the chair. I was expecting much more for the price of a refurbished chair. Communication from customer service was rather unprofessional in my opinion. It was as if they were sending text messages with two word responses or short phrases (e.g. "can you ck please on this", "Next week") rather than professional messages via email.
Ordered April 28, Money taken immediately, not a word or update of any kind for over 4 weeks. Contacted customer support by phone got no response. Contacted customer support through PayPal got an immediate response and a promise for a refund. Now have waited 11days, 7 business days and no refund. I will make sure everyone knows not to do business with this company. And we are going to start fraud proceedings through PayPal.
I cancelled my order only 1 day later because I changed my mind. The item naturally had never shipped but I was still charged a 10% cancellation fee even though the item never left processing.
At no point during the purchase journey is a cancellation fee clearly disclosed. The cancellation fee is only mentioned deep in the terms of service which according to the terms themselves, they are for the use of the website and not for purchases. Even in the terms of service it doesn't have a primary heading for order cancellation. In addition, the terms state "We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify, or otherwise alter these terms and conditions at any time. Such modifications shall become effective immediately or even retroactively upon the posting thereof." For all I know, the terms disclosed changed after the fact, although obviously this is not how an agreement works.
Shopping was easy and a lot of products to choose from and I like all the options I get to pick from once I decided what I wanted. Great experience!
The product that I received had been used and not brand new. The arms were all scratched up and there was some wear on the arm brackets. Not to happy knowing that I paid full priced for a used chair. They are sending new arms to replace the scratched up ones. The company responded quickly to my concerns.
Very disappointed with Seating Mind. I ordered a chair on May 14th. They immediately processed order to my credit card. No notice of backlog or order delays. Said expect to ship in 2 weeks. I did not receive any updates until I reached out in June. They replied they expected the order to ship in next 7 days but said let them know if I wanted to cancel. After another two weeks order had not shipped. When I requested they cancel due to Seating Mind being unable to deliver. The cancelled the order and refunded only 90%. If you order from Seating Mind know they will not provide you a full refund if they are unable to deliver your product. Very poor business practice considering they don't provide any warning up front on backlog/delays or the fees associated.
Suspected fraud and fraudulent company. I have not received products in more than 30 days since order product report on their website says shipping pending. I have reached out to customer service by telephone and email and have received not response or returned call. I suspect fraud.
The chair I received was greasy and dirty. The wheel base finish was worn off and the casters were so chewed up that they would have destroyed my wood floors. I complained and this is not yet resolved. The chair was not like brand new condition as promised by the web site.
Chair arrived as advertised. Delivery was on time. Very happy with chair, though no assembly instructions were included with item.
A cable to the Posture-fit component was frayed with wire exposed. After contacting seatingmind.com, they agreed to send a new cable at no charge.
Overall, I would recommend this company and I would do business with them again.
Price was good, but customer service was not. A shipping ticket was created by FedEx almost immediately to give the impression (ordered 3 March and indicated shipped on 4 March) that this was shipped quickly but the process stalled there. It took an email to customer service (13 March) to actually get the chair shipped. My son ordered a second chair and had the exact same experience.
I ordered the Steelcase Leap chair and it was delivered and left outside my building instead of in the lobby. The chair did not include any assembly instructions or video link so I am still trying to figure out the details. I have contacted the customer service through email and phone and received no response.
Just received chairs and we are thrilled with the quality and performance. Order status on the website still says processing even though the items were delivered. But we got the FedEx notification when they shipped. Even though the order took over 2 months to be processed due to the company getting overwhelmed with orders during the lockdown, customer service was quickly responsive and apologetic when we emailed to check. And we are thrilled with the result and will be back for future orders.
The chair had a tracking number created for it and sat for an additional week from when it was scheduled to be delivered. It already takes 10-14 days for the chair to ship, and this one must have been forgotten somewhere. Had we not followed up on the tracking information, I'm not sure when or if we would have seen it.
The chair arrived and two pieces had fallen into the bottom of the box. It appears that a cotter ring was not installed on the end of the bolt in the picture. I included pictures in the email to show the piece that was missing. I sent an email eight business days ago and haven't received a response yet.
I asked for a return call from the sales associate which returned the day of however I missed that call. He asked for me to call him tomorrow and I did however that day he never returned my call. I then began to email him and he passed me to several people there with no response except a rude email from client support. Lol. This place is extremely unprofessional and I have posted a similar review on other sites. Oh I forgot they still haven't placed a credit onto my credit card yet and it's been close to two weeks. I will take action no later than tomorrow. The BBB has accepted my complaint. This place really is terrible.
Within 12 months, the chair's frame broke and I was then then informed that this normal wear and tear would not be covered by them. Very disappointed with customer service AND WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!
Knowing the chair I purchased can run over $1000 dollars the prices Seatingmind offers are good. Overall not a bad experience. Chair was here within several weeks of ordering. I'd like a little more communication from the company on the progress of the purchase though.
You have to be the worst ecom channel I have ever experienced. I placed my order, I get an email to evaluate your web site and a confirmation that you've taken my money. Three weeks later, no product, no updates, nothing. I will never buy anything from you again and I will cancel my order If it doesn't show up soon.
There is definitely room for improvement in the shipping/delivery phase of purchasing from Seatingmind. Both times that I've placed an order, the tracking info provided stated "label made" but nothing after that. Several weeks passed without an update and when I reached out via customer service link, the items were shipped the same day and arrived two days later which makes me think they would have just sat there indefinitely if I hadn't reached out.

Answer: This company may be legit, but from the research I have done online after my purchase experience with them, they totally scam people with their outrageous "restocking fee" policy.
