SteelcaseGesture Ergonomic Office Chair With 360° Armrests And 3D Live Back Lumbar Support Black

I would advise anyone wanting to invest into a Steelcase chair, to find a store or showroom to sit in one multiple times before making a purchase decision. I was trying to decide between this and the Karman mesh chair, but ultimately went for the Gesture because of the deeper, wider and more adjustable seat pan.The chair as configured is a bit more basic than some of the demo models you see in store. You get the lumbar support bar, and 4D arms standard, but the seat and back fabric is standard loose weave (as opposed to a tight sportswear-like weave), which depending on the clothes you wear while sitting can be a bad or a good thing.The chair frame is designed to be flexible and move with your body -- the adjustable seat pan is amazing and allows for taller and shorter people to take advantage of this chair.

Pay the money. Buy the chair. Your back will thank you.

I read many reviews over the last few years, and most of them say that the HM Aeron is the best chair overall. So I went with that and even ordered a very rare Atlas headrest to it. It was a good chair, but I couldn’t find the perfect position and settings for myself on it. So after 3 years i decided to leave it in my office and find something better for my home PC desk.I was very curious about Steelcase Gestures’ design. It’s simply beautiful and very simple comparing to HM chair or any other standard looking office chairs.Got the one with the headrest. Believe me, it’s worth investing in the one with the headrest!Things that i love about it:- Armrests are unique and genius. You’ll definitely find yourself in comfortable and cosy posture whatever you do.- Backrest tilts far enough and have a very unique option compared to any other chair, it kinda sticks to whatever position you push it to and stays in it unless you apply more pressure or move forward. It feels your movements and moves with you.- Headrest, absolute best. I can finally relax and lean back with my headset on. And it’s very adjustable.- The chair is made for those who use their iPads, iPhons and other handhelds during the day. I do a lot and that combination of armrests, headrest and intuitive backrest is perfect for it.Cons:- it is made for people who prefer to lean back on their chair. It’s not a task chair, like Aeron (with its forward tilt option). It allows and kinda invites you to lean back and let the world wait. It doesn’t rock back and forwards like HM chairs do, it sticks to relaxed positions and kinda keeps you there.- lumbar support is absolutely useless option in my opinion. I don’t feel it in any position, i believe it is made for people with deeper curve of a spine or they just added it for a tick in the specs list.- the chair makes a clicking sound when i first sit on it. Then, however, whatever i do, it makes no sounds at all. I’m not too sure from where that click comes from, the seat or the gas lifter or maybe one of the casters.All in all, i found a best chair for myself and will keep it for many years to come for sure.

Great chair, excellent lumbar support.The warrenty and after sales support is plain rubbish. Don't expect a response from the warrenty department.

Seat depth isn't enough for someone over 6ft, the arms and back are brilliant, but the seat pan on this is absolutely terrible, headrest just digs into the back of my neck.If you're a hair over 6ft, please don't buy this chair, it's caused me so much pain over 12 months.

A beautiful chair that is well-designed. I love the dynamic back support, the armrests are fantastic, and it is a proper sturdy chair. It feels and looks built to last; one small problem, though...It is so noisy! I even gave the chair a good cleaning and then a reapplication of the recommended grease by Steelcase. But, it still squeaks like mad; any slight shift and the chair makes a noise.It comes with a 5-year guarantee, and this noise problem is well-documented with these chairs.

had it for only 1 month, cannot imagine a GBP900+ chair would be that bad... squeaky sound here and there whenever i move even slightly, very annoying. i contacted Steelcase and they said it is not their problem and asked me to contact Amazon. very irresponsible, is the 5 year warranty a joke? i give 1 star because i cannot give none. should have really went for the HM Embody instead of this piece of terribly expensive low quality chair.
