Thank you for the video. I just bought it. Maybe if you had a Steelcase when we were working together, you wouldn't have been so sour. 😂😂😂😂

It's those arm rests that make me want this chair. The need to have them tucked into my ribs so I can play games like a T-Rex and be comfortable is key!

thx for the review. prolly gonna pick one up in the next few months.

Thanks for the review.

Awesome video!

Thanks man you helped me decide to get this instead of leap.

My brother bought a used Steelcase Gesture from a liquidation warehouse. He paid a little over $450 for it, and they steam cleaned it and spray painted some of the scuff marks for him before we took it home. I was able to use the running warranty to request a brand new seat cushion. Definitely the way to go IMO.

Love it.

excellent review bro!

Should of got the one with the headrest, I love mine.

Great Video

I appreciate your unbiased review, can I ask you about the breathability and heat. Does the cushioned seat and back get hot over time? If you compare this with the mesh seat and back with the Aeron's does this make a difference?

This chair is a true godsend, had the chance to try it out for a couple of week. It's amazing how much of my backpain and shoulder pain started to disappear, especially because I suffer from slight scoliosis too. I still can't believe that most of my pain was due to a shitty "gaming" chair... The adjustable arm rests are probably my second favorite feature, they help me a lot with stability when it comes to holding my pen and drawing as a digital artist. Can highly recommend this chair, though I would also recommend the headrest if one is on the taller side (I'm 183cm or 6ft in American units [I think?]). It never gets in the way and is great to have for gaming sessions when I'm just reclining, turning off my mind and relaxing a little. I'm glad I watched your video, the point about the scoliosis convinced me now to buy this chair. Thanks for the help!

I just ordered a Gesture with Headrest today. It will be delivered on Sunday.

Great video! Anymore details on the cork-board organization square you have mounted on your wall? Thanks and please keep the home office videos coming!

Just sat in one of these today while I can agree it’s better than the Herman Miller chairs I found the think and the fern by Haworth to be more comfortable

Is the additional lumbar support adjustable or removable? I'd get it for only +$28, just to cover all my bases, but I'm a little worried I don't like it and I'll be stuck with it.

Great video! It’s becoming evident that chairs are so inherently subjective, though, so what works for you may not work for me and vice versa. I’m getting an Aeron delivered in a week’s time. I’ll let you know how I like it! If I don’t, I’ll definitely look at the gesture and pocket the difference

Just purchased one of these after watching your video. Got an Aeron Remastered before and had to return it because it was causing me leg pain in the sciatic nerve. Hopefully this one will be better since I have been WFH sitting on a wood dinner chair since.

I just ordered one because of your video :-) I used the Herman Miller Aeron for a few months and I HATE it.

I'm glad I found this. I'm torn between this and the Aeron. I will travel to the dealers to try all of them next week.

Thank you for explaining the back fabric option, I have a great opportunity around my area to get one for about 200€ and I noticed the absence of back fabric, was wonderingif this shit was legit

Great review! It’s interesting that you like the Gesture more than the Leap. It seems to be the opposite for most people. I can’t decide between the two. Maybe I’ll buy both and send back the one I like less lol.

Just got the Gesture today for $750 aud (with warranty) and it looks so fricken beautiful to point where I shed a few tears. I too have tried all those other famous chairs (Mirra, Aeron, Zody, etc) but couldn’t get them to work. I couldn’t sit on them for more than an hour without getting back pain, but I finally have the gesture. Can’t wait to try it, I really hopes it works out for me 😭

I'm looking to get this or an embody. I'm 5'7-5'8, 160 pounds. I've got some mid back issues but I'm not sure which one would help more. I also see the embody is getting a headrest in the next few months.

I am 5.4". Do you think gesture will work for me?

I was seriously considering the gesture, ended up convincing myself that it wasn’t right for me and kept on researching. Then found your video and bought it 😬😬😬 do they pay you?? If not, they should 😂 I like to sit in odd positions while working, I hate having my feet on the floor. So I think this was the right decision.

Any thoughts on Headrest vs No Headrest? Also, choice of fabric? There seems to a basic fabric and a leather type texture as well. Anything to choose between the two?

I bought an aeron remastered coming from a napa leather gaming chair. I live in humid Singapore and when I work, I usually don't switch on the AC. I get sweaty thighs when sitting on my leather gaming chairs. As of the aeron, the posturefit sl, I dont feel it because I was too used with using a lumbar roll on my gaming chair, if u used a lumbar roll before, u definitely feel it supporting your back. So when I switch to the aeron, I thought the posturefit was spoilt because I seriously can't feel the support. Anyways, the aeron is good for my situation because of the mesh. I have a fan blowing behind my back and I can feel the wind and the mesh will cool my body down compare to my gaming chair where its totally hot. So yea apart from the hype and design of an aeron, I will believe for my situation, any full mesh chairs will be good since mesh is highly breathable and I work in a hot humid environment. But yea the aeron is not worth $1500 comfortable. It didn't wow me at all hahaha... I just kinda love the hype that is an aeron.

what didn't you like about the Leap V2 ? Seat comfort of Leap V2 ? And lumbar support of Leap V2 should be better than Gesture, right?

Hey I've been reading online that a lot of people prefer the Gesture without the additional lumbar support. Would you recommend getting it or no? I'm also the same height as you (5'8"). Also, do you have the era or cogent fabric, and which one would you recommend?

Thanks for the video! But for me, testing all the Steelcase chairs at my house for more than 2 weeks, Gesture is the worst of the bunch. Leap v2 is the first followed by Amia. (I would have loved to have a combination between leap and amia) :D

Can you tell me where you got your desk? I currently use the ikea karlby

What's your height and weight if I may ask? Does the bottom feel dense? I'm 180cm and 45kg heavy so I'm really underweight and I don't want too dense foam under me. Thanks in advanced!

really liked your review, however please next time do a video with better lighting to show more details.

Hi, wonder if your chair includes "additional lumbar support"?

I would also like to buy a new chair, my choice either embody or gesture ???

Yea... except Steelcase customer support is a joke. They sent me a crooked Gesture with a min. seat height of 19" (They state 16") and when I asked the dealer, they said their entire lot was at 19". The official Steelcase representatives basically called me an idiot and said I didn't know how to use a tape measure. All I wanted was a replacement chair with the proper stated specs, but they refused and just took the chair and gave me my money back. Awesome chair, horrible customer support. They just don't care. At this point, I'd rather sit on the floor than support than company.

@Romy Macasieb Have you ever tried/compared with the X-Chair? I am comparing the Gesture with that. Thx for the awesome video!

Can I ask what is your height?

Hey, I’m a 17 year IT student and saved some money for a new chair and I found some practically new steelcase gestures from an office liquidation for 350 each. Question here is how exactly does the extra lumbar support feature work and do you think it’s good for activities outside of focused work, like watching a movie or just laying back and browsing the web?

All reviewers say gesture sucks compared to leap, like way worse. The seat is slanted forward so you feel like your sliding off it. That is the biggest concern. Its not flat, you can't relax on it

This chair was fairly easy to put together, the instructions were clear and I was about to follow along with no issues at all. It took me about 20 minutes to assemble. kzfaq.infoUgkx5hPALGI87E991DRmXev8PUFJGrrRcONS I did stuff the back of the chair with a pillow so it wouldn’t be so hollow after taking all the pieces out but that’s just a personal preference. I also added a pillow for lumbar support because although this is a great chair and is comfortable, it’s not necessarily the best if you’re sitting 10+ hrs a day wfh but in all honesty for the price, I didn’t mind at all. It looks great in my space and easily adjusts the height when needed.

what's your height?

What is your height?

How tall are you? I am not sure if i am too tall for a version without headrest.

leap v2 for me is far superior as a taller person (6'2 185 lbs), glad you found something you love though!!

Question... weight and height?

Does this chair come with a headrest?

Embody's overall back support is unmatched, the Gesture promotes slouching way too much and is actually less supportive than the Leap v2.

Sorry, but mesh IS the way to go. What other chair can you shotgun a beer in without giving a damn? I am sure there are more comfortable chairs, but I don't want to have to worry about getting my $1000+ chair dirty. Just wish there was more competition because in terms of mesh it seems like it is basically Aeron or bust.

Leap v2 better?

What is it you like about the Gesture compared to the Leap?

Where did you get this for 800$? The link you gave has it for 1100$+ with no upgrades.

Heard so many different opinions, so.. yeah

Funny, but looking at you sitting in the chair, it does sorta look like you're "sliding" forward. Not necessarily tilted forward, but like if the chair was glass, you'd slide off it over a 5 minute period of time. I think you need more light to see the color. Probably best to tell us what the actual Steelcase color name is. A little north of $800?? Did you get it used?

What's your height and weight and social security number?

Not recommended to buy brand new in the UK, especially if you're not a business owner.

Dude, your height is a HUGE factor. You are much shorter than me. I'm 6 feet tall and 200lbs. This chair would look tiny next to me. :)

I do need a new chair. This chair looks like comfy thank you
