I had an issue with the chair I received, so my experience did not start perfectly. However, I want to give credit where it is due because Madison Seating's customer service responded quickly and worked with me to find a solution. They were professional, polite, and willing to resolve the matter in a way that reduced a lot of inconvenience for me.
What stood out most was that they listened to my concern and offered a practical resolution instead of making the process more difficult. That level of customer support matters a lot, especially when buying a larger item like an office chair online.
While I wish the original product had arrived without the issue, I do appreciate the way the company handled the situation afterward. Based on the customer service and willingness to help, I can say they made a real effort to stand behind their business.
We placed a order with Madison Seating on March 19,2026. Delivery was incredibly fast! We did come upon a small issue and contacted customer service and they came up with an incredible resolution! We will be ordering from this company in the future! Thank you so much Madison Seating.
I ordered my chair and it came within 3 business days, which was much quicker than what they advertised. Upon arrival, I did have an issue with the chair, but upon reaching out to customer service, they took care of the issue the same day. I would definitely recommend and look forward to buying from them for my wife's office in the future.

I ordered my product on May 15th and it came it on the 19th. Upon putting it together I found an issue with the chair back (other than this everything was perfect) after reaching out to customer service they assisted me that same day! I will be ordering again from them.

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.
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!
I bought a amia chair from them for my birthday at the end of may 2024. These chairs are supposed to come with a 10 year warranty. When I recieved the chair i immediately start to feel a pain but i figured i was sitting in the chair wrong. So I let alot of time pass by trying to adjust the settings and add cushion to the seat. We're now 3 months later in august, which is too late for them to even assist me and finding out whats wrong with the cushion they sent. I tried to reach out to customer service and they said they're sorry theres nothing they can do because its past the 30 days.
I just bought the chair from them they took $300 from me and refuse to help at all despite saying their chair has a 10 year warranty. Come to find out with some online research its actually a common occurance for them to send out defective products and try to stick you with it. I wouldn't buy anything from them ever again.

This buyer reached out to our customer care department to say he had some specific health issues with his posterior. The chair he purchased arrived in perfect condition. The buyer had 30 days to return the chair for refund if the item did not suit his particular needs. The customer was upset that we would not take back his chair after 3 months of use. A 30 day return window is standard in our industry and is ample time to send back product for refund. Also, an item is not rendered defective due to personal preferences.
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!
I purchased a Steelcase office chair from Madison Seating. Their site has an extensive selection, their prices are the best anywhere, and they're customer service is amazing - great communication throughout.
They falsely claim to have items in stock, causing unnecessary delays and providing false shipping timelines. I requested to cancel my order and won't be buying another chair from them.
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.
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.
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 ordered a chair from Madison Seating, had some issues, and got a quick response and resolution to my problem all during the same week! Would definitely buy from them again.
On 09/02/2023, I purchased a "New-Open Box" Steelcase Amia Chair for $270.60 from the eBay seller Madison Seating, auction #*******681. The chair was advertised as being in "New-Open Box Condition" with no signs of wear or defects.
However, on 10/27/2023, the chair's cylinder stopped functioning and seized. Upon inspection, I discovered rusted parts and noticed that the chair's manufacturing tag had been tampered with and removed. This tag is crucial as it indicates the model and the original manufacturing date.
I contacted Madison Seating on eBay on the same day (10/27/2023) and sent pictures of the rusted chair, requesting a return and refund due to what I perceived as false advertising. Their response was dismissive, stating that I had received exactly what I purchased and they would not issue a refund. I informed them of my intent to file complaints with the FTC, CFPB, IC3, and American Express due to the nature of the issue. Following this, Madison Seating stated they would respond during normal business hours, but I did not receive any further communication.
On 11/01/2023, I received a call from a representative of Madison Seating, who threatened legal action if I did not cancel the complaint filed with my bank. The representative inaccurately recounted the details of our prior communications, including a mix-up where I had confused their package with another order from Wayfair.com, which was resolved in less than 20 minutes on my part with evidence provided to the merchant.
Later on 11/01/2023, after receiving a threatening call, I returned the call to Madison Seating and spoke with the woman who I believe left the original message. I reiterated that I would not be canceling any complaints and requested a return and refund for the chair, which was clearly used. She was dismissive of the auction's description, calling the chair's condition subjective, and justified the misrepresentation due to the discounted price.
After our conversation, she sent an email to eBay, attempting to misrepresent the situation by stating that I refused to return the product simply because I did not want to "bother getting a box to pack up the item." In response, I informed her that her claim was yet another lie, as I had recorded our call, which I intended to provide to my bank as evidence.
Given these circumstances, I suspect that Madison Seating has previously engaged in similar deceptive practices and appears to be operating on a scripted protocol. Avoid Madison Seating at all cost!

THIS REVIEWER IS MIXING UP OUR COMPANY WITH WAYFAIR. THIS REVIEW IS NOT ACCURATE. EBAY HAS REMOVED ALL FEEDBACK ON THEIR SITE RELATED TO THIS INDIVIDUAL AS THEY CONFIRMED HE IS MISINFORMED AND CONFUSED BY HIS PURCHASES.
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.
October 11th, 2023 I purchased two Knoll Life office chairs from Madison Seating a while ago. One of the chairs height and seating depth adjustment got broken because of a small plastic part. My chairs were still under Madison Seating's 10 year warranty. To get the plastic part replaced, they asked to send them the whole chair and pay for the shipping and return. From California to New York shipping of such a heavy chair would have costed about $250. The same new chair costs $375 on the MS website. So their 10 year warranty on office chairs and other things is useless and ridiculous. I don't know of any other company that charges customers for shipping of items under warranty or wouldn't contact the manufacturer for a replacement part. I will never do business with Madison Seating again. Their customer service is good for only responding with rejections.
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.
Answer:As an online company we are vigilant about fraud. You provided an invalid credit card number that was being declined by our processor. Your order has a high fraud rating and was flagged. If a customer is indeed legitimate and not looking to commit online fraud, they would have rectified the situation with the credit card and simply placed a new order online.

The Herman Miller Aeron chair is part of our open box close out sale. That is why the price is heavily discounted from the retail value of $1000 + to the sale price of $400+.
The "Open Box Specials" featured on our website are a great way to save money on the best selling chairs on the market today. These brand name chairs are being sold for more than half off their retail value and will include free shipping!
"Open Box" simply means, the item is out of the original packaging. The chair was either, returned, refurbished, on display or has been in inventory for awhile and since been placed on a clearance. The merchandise is in perfect working condition.
In addition, you will be provided with a 30 day money back satisfaction guarantee and 10-year Madison Seating warranty.

Answer:Patricia. We understand there was an error in the color chair you received. We offered to pick up the chair at our expense and issue a full refund as we are now sold out of the blue Aeron chair. We did not intentionally ship you an incorrect color chair. Mistakes happen. This was an honest mistake done by a packer, probably due to the holiday rush. The color black and blue are hard to discern on a mesh chair. Please return the chair at this point as your reaction to the error has been a tad excessive.
Answer:Hi Lonnie. We do not simply cancel orders without there being a good reason. Your placed (2) separate orders with us and it appears you are confused by your purchases. The first order was processed successfully with the payment you provided and shipped in a timely manner. You were emailed a confirmation of this order along with an order number assigned for that transaction. On the second order you attempted to place you provided a new email address and an invalid credit card number. The order was flagged as a potentially fraudulent transaction and subsequently canceled. Again, an email confirmation with a DIFFERENT order number was emailed to you along with a notification indicating there was an issue with the payment provided. It appears you may have gotten confused by your own purchases. We are always available if you need further clarification on these 2 separate purchases.
