Steelcase Gesture review
After trying 6 different chairs in 2 months due to spinal stenosis and severe trapezius tension causing headaches, the reviewer settled on the Steelcase Gesture. They prefer sitting upright without tilting. The Gesture's narrower backrest provides shoulder freedom without the claustrophobic feeling of other chairs, offers above-average lumbar support, and delivers simple comfort despite looking cheap for its price point.
Pros
- Narrow backrest allows shoulder and back freedom without claustrophobic feeling
- Strong lumbar support, top-tier among chairs tested
- Lightweight frame and overall comfort despite no standout features
- Best fit for upright sitting posture without excessive back envelopment
Cons
- Looks cheap and budget-like despite high price point
- Average seat comfort compared to competitors like Sidiz T50
- No exceptional standout features for the premium price
