I tried the Steelcase Gesture, and it was not bad, but not great. I preferred the Leap. However, I also tried their Amia, and found it more comfortable than their more expensive counterparts.

One important thing that I didn't hear you mention in your review is that it lacks locking in the arm-rests. It drives me crazy how it moves so readily compared to my Embody. Another thing about the chair (unless I'm mistaken) is how it doesn't lock in one of the reclined positions. I feel like this chair is always pushing me forward, just some customizable things I wish Steelcase thought of! I've been using this chair daily for about a month, love your videos Ahn!
@Ahnestly Жыл бұрын
You’re right about the arms - I didn’t see it as a huge issue, but see it bothers folks! The push forward is real…some people love it, some people hate it. It’s the design of the backrest - it tilts a little. None of the high end chairs lock in reclined positions though! I was really hoping the new Herman miller vantum would have it, but nope :( Appreciate the kind words and great feedback!

Another group of people who may find the Gesture beneficial: people who experience neck and arm issues (with advice from their medical professionals) especially where the two are related. The combination of the extremely adjustable arms and neck / head rest is a winning combo! It’s also quite comfortable to sit sideways while reading / watching things. The headrest can tuck into the side of the neck when the chair is reclined, providing some variation to sitting to stretch one side of the back without compressing the joints on the other side. Thanks for your informative, helpful and thorough reviews.

Hey just wanted to say your video helped me purchase the Gesture! Thanks a lot for that. Stats: 5’9” - 170lbs After getting a new job with a higher paying salary, I decided to shop around for a new office chair. Plus my job is mainly remote and I play PC games a lot, so it makes sense to invest in a good chair. I decided on the Gesture mainly due to the headrest and ability to recline. I actually don’t find the lumbar to be that intense (I would have opted for the extra lumbar support in hindsight). Two months in, and I no longer have the occasional pain in my back/legs. Plus a lot less migraines too!

The gap on the back end of the leap was horrible for me at 188 cm’s. The gesture was much better and the embody was even better with no gap. However, all chairs still left room between my knees and hamstrings. With the headrest the gesture was the best fit for me overall.

5'6 - did a major showroom tour pre-covid and tried many brands (Inc. gaming chairs which were disastrous). This chair is perfect for lean-back folk that: don't use lumbar support AND don't need headrest support. The only addition is get a foot rest to keep your legs in-line. The headrest pushes your head too forward and gave headaches. So, save some $ and order it without either.

I'm 5'3. Best chair of my life. Every single one of my short female coworkers also loved this chair. As a short woman there are nearly zero chairs made for us. Not sure this chair is fully loaded since it is missing the shell back which I would guess would make it a wee bit more flexible. This chair is like an anti fatigue mat for you body. I did try this chair in 2017 so I'll be contacting customer service to see if anything changed. If not, it's not for tall people. If you're short you need the following config: adjustable lumbar , (thinner) shell backing, and no headrest. Instead of the lumbar being aggressive could it be better for women? Are you aware our lumbar spans more vertebrae and is different? I more than strongly disagree the chair is for tall people. It's unfortunate the headrest isn't removable because my opinion it makes the review inaccurately depicted for tall people. You're reviewing a configuration most people won't buy since it's a $230 add-on for that headrest and you're reviewing a configuration that is ill suited to you, which should poorly reflect not he salesperson and not the chair. I can see the headrest makes you sit in a manner where you even look uncomfortable(subjective) but more importantly: objectively your head is not positioned ergonomically well as a result. Although this does address my concerns about the head rest, so thanks for helping decide absolutely not on that. Thanks for a genuinely honest review.

@@Ahnestly I've tried the Fern before. It's pretty good, but I have major gripes with their 4D armrest. It has very similar range of motion to the Steelcase 4D armrests, but it's much less stable. It shakes and wobbles much more, which really subtracts luxury points. I'll point out that if you opt for the more expensive metal frame one (as opposed to the standard plastic), it's much improved. But Steelcase still have the better armrest overall.

The headrest, even with the re-engineered mount, is wobbly after only 3 weeks. It's not holding my head and I have not been abusing it. It's really sad. I wanted to like it. This chair is too rigid though tbh. It's more rigid than Leap in a bad way.
@Narglepuff 2 жыл бұрын
Yo Dan, maybe you or a commenter can offer some advice First off: 5’7” / 150 lbs; old IKEA Volmar with headrest/no arms has served me well for 10+ years but I now really need some armrests to help practice decent ergonomics I’m at my desk for everything - design/animation for looong hours, gaming on PC and console, watching movies, etc. When I’m working, I’m happy being forced into a rigid ergonomic position (my current chair’s firmness helps with that I guess), and when it’s time to relax, I really appreciate the recline/tilt lock and my headrest, even if it’s just a fixed piece with a 1 cm thick pad. The most expensive chairs I’ve been able to try out recently are the Leap v2 and Aeron Classic. I love the way the Aeron forces me to sit; seems best suited for work. The Leap though is so much more flexible and adjustable. What’s keeping me from pulling the trigger on either is the headrest issue. The Aeron has the aftermarket Atlas option of course, but when relaxing I shift into all kinds of unhealthy positions - with all the hard plastic it’s got, the Aeron looks less ideal. The Leap looks better suited for it, but ofc no one is a fan of the Leap w/ headrest. When I tried both these chairs, neither had a headrest and it didn’t feel like either needed one, so there’s that too. This vid makes me think the Gesture w/ headrest could be a good middle ground. Any thoughts/anything else worth considering?
@Ahnestly 2 жыл бұрын
A gesture is really nice, but I've heard a few things... 1. taller people GENERALLY like the Gesture better. Shorter people like me, as stated, find the lumbar a little high up. 2. people complained a lot about the "thinning out" of the seat pad over time. Hope this helps! My personal recommendation is buy a NEW Gesture and test the *(&#$ out of it during the trial period and then either return or keep or return and buy a used one of that's what you want to do!

I'm 193cm (I think that is like 6ft 3') and have a gesture with no headrest (I'm also kinda light for my height, I'm 80kg) A few comments on this chair: - seat: Absolutely agree the seat cushion is really comfortable and the adjustments make it so that you can tune it just right, you can also adjust it while seated which makes finding the right position a lot easier and is something most cheaper chairs wont allow you to do. (I cant praise this seat enough, it make me want to do more work, this may not be as comfortable if you are heavier) - arm rests: also a great point for this chair, the only issue I have with them is that for someone who is tall the actual "pad" is a little too short, is if you want to rest a good portion of your arm and have them extended, a good chunk of the arm is going to be left un supported both before and after the pad, not a deal breaker though, just something I wish was a little different (the pads are more of a soft rubber than an actual pad, really comfortable, the most comfortable I've seen) For me the thing that makes me not like the chair that much is the backrest: the issue with the lumbar support you mentioned can be really uncomfortable, the actual lumbar support is comprised of the backrest (which is nice) and a VERY stiff plastic bit that you can adjust up or down, the issue is that as you recline is will find a position that is not comfortable and it becomes REALLY uncomfortable, like having to take a break uncomfortable. also when you lock the backrest upright (this might be my particular unit that may have an issue) it still has some recline, and when you lean forward a little it wont return to the proper upright position, this would not be an issue if the shape of the lumbar support was not as aggressive, as you said this makes for a VERY NARROW comfort window, for the seat to be comfortable you have to seat just right or it will punish you. Its a shame because the lumbar support gets in the way of the rest of the backrest when you want to recline. I wish that plastic bit was removable, it seems that would make the chair not as comfortable with perfect posture, but have more comfortable positions when seated. I bought the chair because it was the only one I could get my hands on where I would have support all the way up to my shoulders and not have a backreast that would stop at my mid back section an leave the rest un supported. If you are tall and looking for a good chair do consider this, but I would recommend you spend as much time seated with your back supported to try it out and see if you like it, first impressions can be deceiving, the backpain you get when not using the chair properly sets in after a while, not right away. edit: also about how hot it is -> Somehow the fabric cushion does not get uncomfortably hot, I have it at a place with no AC and we can get about 36C during the summer, the arm rests can make you sweat a little since they are rubber and have 0 "breathability" but the seat and backrest are somehow able to not be uncomfortable.

@@NICOKPO77 Hola! disculpa la demora, luego de reclamar con el representante de Steelcase en mi pais me entero que mi silla estaba defectuosa, aun no completan la reparación así que no sé si mi opinión de la silla es justa como la usé sin funcionar correctamente. He visto que muchos youtuber usan la competencia de herman miller (embody), la que al menos en mi país cuesta el doble que la gesture (cuando su precio en USD es bien similar), quizás te conviene revisar esa opción también. De lo que opino de la silla es una buena silla, solo que encuentro incomodo el respaldo, ahora eso es parte de lo que está defectuoso entonces no sé si mi opinión es sobre el diseño de la silla o sobre la parte que no funciona como corresponde. Tanto el cojín como los apoya brazos son sumamente comods y ajustables, para mi lo que no me gusta es el respaldo, pero como comenté eso puede ser por mi unidad en particular.

My son literally sits straight up in any seat he sits in. If he drives my car, the seat is straight up and down every time I get back in it. I've never seen anything like it. I wanted a chair with a headrest, and am pretty sure this won't be my favorite chair as far as comort, but he will primarily be using it, so I'm hoping it works for him when it gets here. Fingers crossed.

6'3" here... I dunno... the one glaring "concern" I have had with my Gesture from day one is the depth of the seat.. I think its short. I see how when you sat down the seat pad edge looked like it came nicely to the your kneejoint with what looked like a two-three fingers thick space.. mine feels like it reaches mid-thigh and when I roll/extend the extra depth the back of my butt feels that back edge, and its experienced as a pressure point.. I feel the gap. I'm a "slim-ish" guy not a lardass (no offense to the lardasses intended 😉) so it aint cos I got junk in the trunk syndrome.. Not complaining tho.. I've found a sweet spot that I can live with, but I do still feel the seat is not ideally as deep as it could/should be.. Mine has black upholstery.. yea.. that mofo in the summer can be a heat soak if it lives in a hot room as mine does up in an 'attic' office that can roast you pretty good in the summer. I sit on a Leap v2 at work.. That little bit of seat upward articulation when you recline does that little extra to make it a pleasure all day, but it doesnt blow your doors off.. but I must say, I've found everyday allday "perfection" with the Think v2..

I recently bough an aeron and I'm returning it after 1 day of use because I hated the way it absolutely kicked my ass, it gave me pain accross my whole back, People said I should give it longer but I litterally couldn't do my job with how bad it was. I was hoping the gesture would be less agressive since some people say they can barely feel the lumbar on it and it's not got that super tight mesh, it's interesting how subjective that is. I also want to be able to relax in it sometimes and the gesture deffinitly seems better than the aeron for that I also think the gesture is the nicest lookng chair I've ever seen, I didn't appreciate the look of the aeron like some people do
