Steelcase Gesture review

The reviewer points out that sitting in a new seat to test the sliding is important, as people's sense of what good seat height is can be inaccurate beyond a momentary stretch. They note that when they do this, the seat height feels unnatural in a way that would be uncomfortable to sit in beyond that momentary position. This suggests they find the seat adjustment or ergonomics problematic when actually using the chair for extended periods versus just testing it briefly. It's an observation about the difference between short-term trials and long-term comfort.

Cons

  • Seat height/position feels unnatural during actual extended use
  • What feels good in brief testing doesn't translate to long-term comfort
