Steelcase Gesture review

The commenter has been using a Steelcase Gesture for 3 years in a professional office environment and provides a long-term perspective. They acknowledge that the seat is softer than many other task chairs but maintain that it remains comfortable throughout the workday. After 3 years of daily use, they have noticed some flattening of the seat cushion, but it hasn't become uncomfortable or unusable. They appreciate the chair's adjustability and find that it accommodates different sitting positions well. They think the negative reviews may come from people who prefer firmer seating or who didn't take time to properly adjust the chair to their body. Overall, they're satisfied with the purchase and would buy it again.

Pros

  • Remains comfortable after 3 years of daily use
  • Good adjustability
  • Accommodates different sitting positions
  • Still functional despite some cushion flattening

Cons

  • Some seat cushion flattening after 3 years
