Steelcase Gesture review

The reviewer tried both the Steelcase Gesture and the Embody in person at authorized dealer showrooms before making a purchase decision. They found the Gesture to be an excellent chair with great adjustability and very comfortable seating. However, they ultimately chose the Embody because they felt it provided better back support, which was their top priority. They note the decision was close and emphasize that the Gesture is also a fantastic chair—it just didn't quite match the Embody's back support in their personal experience. They recommend anyone choosing between these two premium chairs should try to test both in person if possible, as the differences are somewhat subjective and body-dependent. Both chairs are high quality, so the choice comes down to which one feels better for an individual's specific needs.

Pros

  • Excellent overall quality
  • Highly adjustable
  • Very comfortable
  • Fantastic chair option

Cons

  • Back support not quite as good as Embody
