Steelcase Gesture review
The reviewer owns a Gesture at their office and recently purchased an Embody for home use. They find the Gesture's armrests to be the best they've ever used, with incredible range of adjustment that supports various working positions including using a tablet or phone. The Gesture's back support is good and the seat cushion is very comfortable. However, they ultimately chose the Embody for home because they found its back support slightly better for marathon weekend work sessions. The Gesture is excellent for office use where they move between tasks, while the Embody is better for extended focused work. Both are top-tier chairs and the choice depends on work style.

- Best armrests available
- Incredible adjustment range
- Supports various working positions
- Good for tablets and phones
