Steelcase Gesture review
The user is shopping for a new office chair to use for both work and gaming, and is considering the Steelcase Gesture. They play games with a controller in a typical gaming position with their arms resting on the armrests. They've heard concerns that the Gesture's armrests are quite wobbly and not very tight in their position, and they're worried this could be an issue for their specific use case. They have some arm muscle strength to hold their arms on the armrests, but they don't want it to require constant effort or become a workout. They're seeking clarification on whether the armrest wobble would be problematic for their gaming position with arms attached to the rests.
Cons
- Heard that armrests are quite wobbly
- Armrests reportedly not tight in their position
- Concerned about stability for gaming with arms resting on armrests
