Steelcase Gesture review
The commenter tested both the Gesture and Leap V2 side-by-side at a Steelcase showroom before making a purchase decision. They found the Gesture to have superior armrests that accommodate a wider range of positions, which was important for their varied workflow including tablet use and keyboard work. However, they felt the Leap V2 had slightly better lumbar support for their specific back shape. The Gesture's seat felt a bit more plush and comfortable initially, but they worried it might not hold up as well over time. The design of the Gesture is more modern and visually appealing. Ultimately, they chose the Leap V2 for the lumbar support, but they note the Gesture would be excellent for someone who values armrest flexibility and doesn't need as much lower back support.
Pros
- Superior armrest adjustability
- More plush seat cushion
- Modern design
- Great for varied work positions
Cons
- Less lumbar support than Leap V2
- Cushion durability concerns
