Steelcase Gesture review

The reviewer bought a Steelcase Gesture about one month ago and is still in the adjustment period. They're finding it difficult to dial in the perfect settings and wonder if they made the right choice. The chair is comfortable in some configurations but not others, and they're spending a lot of time tweaking adjustments. They find the soft seat pleasant but are concerned about the long-term implications based on other reviews. The armrests are excellent, which was a primary reason for choosing this chair. They're giving it more time but are within the return window and considering their options. They wish showroom testing gave a better indication of long-term comfort.

Pros

  • Excellent armrests
  • Comfortable in some configurations
  • Pleasant soft seat initially

Cons

  • Difficult to find perfect settings
  • Requires extensive tweaking
  • Uncertainty about long-term comfort
  • Showroom testing not predictive of long-term use
