Steelcase Gesture review

A user shares that they compared the Steelcase Gesture to the Leap V2 when shopping for a chair. They found the Gesture to have more modern aesthetics and slightly more arm adjustment options, which they appreciated as someone who shifts positions frequently while working. However, they ultimately felt the Gesture's back support was less firm and structured than the Leap's, which for their preference was a disadvantage. They also noted the Gesture typically costs more, so they ended up choosing the Leap V2 as it offered better value and the firmer support they wanted for their posture needs.

Pros

  • More modern aesthetics
  • Slightly more arm adjustment options
  • Good for position shifting

Cons

  • Less firm back support than Leap V2
  • Costs more than Leap V2
  • Less structured support
