Steelcase Gesture review

This reviewer explains how they use the Gesture's armrests in detail. They adjust the armrests to properly support their elbows when typing, which keeps their shoulders from tensing up. They also pivot the armrests inward when lounging or watching videos. They note that while it's possible to achieve similar positioning with the Aeron, the Gesture makes it much easier and more convenient. They emphasize that proper armrest positioning helps prevent shoulder and neck tension, and the Gesture's flexibility in this area is a significant advantage.

Pros

  • Armrests easily adjust to support elbows during typing
  • Prevents shoulder tension
  • Can pivot armrests for different positions
  • Much more convenient adjustments than Aeron
