Steelcase Gesture review

The commenter used the Steelcase Gesture for 5 years and found it to be a significantly more comfortable chair compared to others they'd tried. They particularly appreciated how well it worked in a home office environment, as their desk setup is in their bedroom rather than a dedicated office space. The chair's modularity was a key selling point - it allowed them to adapt it from gaming use to active forward posture and back to recline forward position as needed. They found the armrests to be highly adjustable and well-designed. However, they do note that at 700 dollars new, the price point might be prohibitively high for a decent ergonomic office chair unless you can find a good deal. They suggest buying used to get better value, especially if the goal is long-term ergonomic support.

Pros

  • Very comfortable for 5+ years of use
  • Highly modular and adjustable
  • Excellent armrests
  • Works well in bedroom/home office setup
  • Adapts from gaming to active forward to recline positions

Cons

  • $700 new price point is high
  • Better value when purchased used
