Steelcase Gesture review
This commenter compared the Gesture directly with the Leap V2 before making a purchase decision. They found the Gesture more comfortable overall, particularly praising its armrests which they describe as superior for multiple working positions including tablet use and varied desk work. They felt the Gesture's back support was more intuitive and required less adjustment to feel right. However, they acknowledge the Gesture is more expensive and both chairs are excellent quality. For their use case, which involves frequently shifting positions and using multiple devices, the Gesture edged out the Leap.
Pros
- Superior armrests for multiple positions
- Great for tablet use and varied desk work
- Intuitive back support
- Excellent quality
Cons
- More expensive than Leap
