Steelcase Gesture review

This reviewer tested the Steelcase Gesture at a dealer and spent about 30 minutes sitting in it while working on their laptop. They found the seat to be very comfortable initially and liked the overall aesthetic of the chair. The armrests impressed them with their range of motion and ease of adjustment. However, they noticed that even within that short testing period, they started to feel themselves sinking into the seat more than they were comfortable with. This gave them concerns about how the chair would perform over a full workday, and they decided to continue researching other options before committing to such an expensive purchase.

Pros

  • Very comfortable initially
  • Good aesthetic design
  • Impressive armrest range and adjustability

Cons

  • Noticeable sinking even after 30 minutes
  • Concerns about full-day performance
