Steelcase Gesture review

The reviewer has been using a Steelcase Gesture for about 3 months after upgrading from a basic office chair. They find it significantly more comfortable than their previous chair and appreciate the improved adjustability. However, they're noticing that they're already feeling the seat compress more than they expected after just 3 months, which concerns them given the chair's price. They like the armrests and overall build quality, but they're worried about whether the seat cushion will hold up over the long term. They're reserving full judgment until they've used it for a full year, but their initial enthusiasm is tempered by the early compression signs.

Pros

  • Much better than basic office chairs
  • Good adjustability
  • Excellent armrests
  • Good overall build quality

Cons

  • Noticeable seat compression after only 3 months
  • Concerns about long-term durability
  • Seat may not hold up given the price point
