Reviews
Not perfect, but mostly great
Given the cost of this year expectations are high so this review will be a bit nit picky. I have 3 issues that may or may not bother you: 1. Calling delivery “white glove service” is really a stretch yes the chair arrived assembled and without packaging but beyond that it was just shoved through the front door. It should just be called “courier delivery” or something to avoid unrealistic expectation setting. 2. I’ve found it difficult to find an ideal position for the lumbar support, I’m tempted to remove it. 3. The arms move side to side too easily IMO. I often bump them out of position when getting in or out of the chair and whilst moving it around. One more point about the adjustability, it will take time to find the optimal settings. I made several adjustments over the first couple of days with it but apart from the issue with the arms once I got it dialed in it’s been great. The design is simple and clean. It doesn’t look too out of place around the house and it isn’t too “gamery”.

Very happy with the chair.
AustraliaOnly one complaint from an excellent chair
The steelcase gesture has been great for me thus far. It feels extremely supportive, whilst still being comfortable, unlike some chairs which feel like they’re forcing you to sit a certain way. The armrests on the gesture are simply next level, and I feel like there’s no position I could sit that the armrests couldn’t account for. The only minor complaint I have is that I wish the gesture had a bit more of a pronounced lumbar like the leap has, but it’s very minor as the chair still feels supportive on the lower back area. Build quality is excellent as well, the chair feels extremely solid and I hope it will last me a long time. So all in all, a great quality product, 4.5/5 from me.
