Steelcase Gesture review

The reviewer found the Gesture provides a hugging support feeling similar to a car seat, which initially feels great. However, they discovered it doesn't have as much center lumbar support as the Haworth Fern. The key factor is what's most important to the individual user - if you don't have lumbar issues, the Gesture is actually a better choice than the Fern. The reviewer noted it depends on your specific needs and priorities.

Pros

  • Hugging support feeling like a car seat
  • Feels great initially
  • Better choice than Fern if you don't have lumbar issues

Cons

  • Doesn't have as much center lumbar support as Haworth Fern
