Steelcase Gesture review

This person has owned a Steelcase Gesture for approximately one year and has a nuanced perspective. They find the chair comfortable overall and appreciate its design and adjustability. However, they've definitely noticed the seat getting softer and more compressed over the year of daily use. They don't find it uncomfortable yet, but they can see the trajectory and wonder how it will feel after another year or two. They think the chair is good but perhaps not as durable as it should be at this price point. The armrests remain excellent, and the back support continues to work well. They'd probably buy it again but wish the seat cushion held up better.

Pros

  • Comfortable overall
  • Good design
  • Excellent armrests that remain good
  • Back support continues working well

Cons

  • Noticeable seat compression after one year
  • Concerns about durability trajectory
  • Seat cushion not as durable as expected for price
