Exhibit 99.1

                         STEELCASE FILES 2006 FORM 10-K

      - INCLUDES ADJUSTMENT TO PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED RESTRUCTURING CHARGES -

    GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., May 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Steelcase Inc.
(NYSE: SCS) today announced it filed its 2006 Form 10-K with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The filing reflects an adjustment made to the amount of the
restructuring charges previously announced in the company's fourth quarter
fiscal 2006 earnings release.

    The adjustment reduced net income for the fourth quarter and fiscal year
2006 by $1.9 million, because of a $3.0 million increase in pre-tax
restructuring charges. There was no change in operating income excluding
restructuring charges. The adjustment had no cash effect and no effect on prior
periods. As adjusted, reported net income is $48.9 million, or $0.33 per share
for fiscal 2006 and $9.3 million, or $0.06 per share for the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2006.

    The adjustment reflects an additional impairment charge to adjust the book
value of the Grand Rapids properties held for sale to the estimated market
value. Subsequent to the earnings release, the company reviewed and updated the
listing of fixed assets expected to be included in the sale of the properties,
which led to the larger impairment charge. There was no change to the estimated
market value.

    The accompanying tables provide a reconciliation of the impact of the
adjustment on the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2006 income statements
previously reported in the company's earnings release. Further discussion of the
impairment charge and the company's financial statements for fiscal year 2006
can be found in the company's Form 10-K.
