Steelcase Gesture review
This commenter has experience with both the Steelcase Leap V2 and Gesture in their office environment. They find the Gesture to be more comfortable overall, with better armrests that accommodate a wider variety of positions, including side-leaning and tablet use. The Gesture's back feels more adaptive and flexible when shifting positions. However, they note that for people with specific lower back issues who need targeted lumbar support, the Leap is the better choice because its lumbar adjustment is more focused and firm. The Gesture's support is more distributed across the whole back, which feels better for general comfort but may not address specific pain points as effectively.

- Superior armrests for varied positions
- Better for side-leaning and tablet use
- More adaptive and flexible back support
- Better for general comfort
Cons
- Less targeted lumbar support than Leap
- Distributed back support may not address specific pain points
- Not ideal for specific lower back issues
