EXHIBIT 10.13

                                FIRST AMENDMENT
                                     TO THE
                                 STEELCASE INC.
                           MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     WHEREAS, Steelcase Inc. (the "Company") has established and maintains the
Steelcase Inc. Management Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), originally effective June
27, 1994, and as most recently amended and restated effective as of March 1,
1996; and

     WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.1, the Company has reserved to its Board of
Directors the right to amend the Plan at any time; and

     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has delegated to its
Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee") the necessary authority to
amend the Plan; and

     WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee desires to amend the Plan to
incorporate provisions for forfeiture of benefits in the event a Participant
engages in competition with the Company.

     NOW THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE PREMISES, the Plan is amended,
effective immediately, as follows:

     1.   The title to Section 7.4 is amended to read:

     "7.4 Partial Year Participation, Employment Changes and Forfeitures."

     2.   A new Section 7.4(e) is added to the Plan reading as follows, and the
current Section 7.4(e) is renumbered as 7.4(f):

               "(e)  Competition.  A Participant shall not be entitled to the
     payment of incentive compensation for the Plan Year and the balance in the
     Participant's long-term incentive compensation account shall be forfeited
     in the event the Participant directly or indirectly engages in Competition
     with Steelcase.  Competition means directly or indirectly engaging in
     competition with the Company or any subdivision, subsidiary, or affiliate
     of the Company (collectively, the `Company') at any time during employment
     with the Company or during the three (3) year period following termination
     of employment with the Company, without prior approval of the Committee.  A
     Plan Participant engages in competition if that person participates
     directly or indirectly in the manufacture, design or distribution of any
     products of the same type as those of the Company, including, but not
     limited to, office furniture, office systems or architectural products, or
     the providing of any related services, for or on behalf of any person



     or entity other than the Company and its authorized dealers, at any
     location within or without the United States of America. It is intended
     that this definition shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by
     law. If any part of this definition shall be construed to be invalid or
     unenforceable, in whole or in part, then such definition shall be
     construed in a manner so as to permit its enforceability to the fullest
     extent permitted by law."

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this First Amendment to the
Steelcase Inc. Management Incentive Plan to be executed by its duly authorized
officer this 29th day of February, 2000.

                              STEELCASE INC.
