Steelcase Gesture review

The commenter has had a Steelcase Gesture for 6 months as their home office chair and loves it. They specifically chose it because they wanted a softer seat, having found firmer chairs uncomfortable for their body type and sitting preferences. The soft seat is exactly what they were looking for, and they don't experience the sinking as a negative - rather, they feel properly cushioned and supported. They work 8-hour days and frequently work additional evening hours, and the chair remains comfortable throughout. They think the negative reviews come from people who prefer firmer seating and that the Gesture excels for those who want a more cushioned experience. They're very happy with their choice.

Pros

  • Perfect for those wanting softer seat
  • Properly cushioned and supported
  • Comfortable for 8+ hour days
  • Excellent for body types preferring softer seating
