Steelcase Gesture review

The reviewer bought a Steelcase Gesture about a year ago and has been very happy with it overall. The arm rests are incredibly versatile and can be positioned in almost any configuration, which is great for different work tasks like typing, using a mouse, or leaning back to read. The seat is comfortable even during long sessions and the recline mechanism feels smooth and well-engineered. The lumbar support is subtle but effective - not overly aggressive like some chairs. Their only complaint is that the headrest version is quite a bit more expensive and they wish it came standard. For their needs as someone who switches between different work modes throughout the day, the Gesture has been excellent.

Pros

  • Incredibly versatile armrest positions
  • Comfortable for long sessions
  • Smooth, well-engineered recline
  • Subtle but effective lumbar support
  • Excellent for switching between work modes

Cons

  • Headrest version significantly more expensive
