If you had asked me a few years ago, I would have said the most I would spend on an office chair was $500. That changed in 2020 when I started working from home regularly. My seldom used $200 chair, that seemed good enough, quickly became uncomfortable and started to fall apart. My next "upgraded" $400 chair was almost done after just over a year. Even after that, I was still skeptical about this Steelcase Gesture chair. After using it for a week, I am really impressed with how well built it is and with all the adjustment it offers. Pros - Build quality and finish are great. It is very quiet, rolls easily and feels very solid/stable. The seat fabric is wrapped neatly and tightly. Plastic components are thick and nicely textured. All of the adjustment levers and joints have a solid action. - This is the easiest and quickest chair I have ever assembled (it took only a few minutes). It comes in three pieces (wheeled base, piston, and chair) that just fit together (no tools). - Controls and adjustments are easy to figure out and within easy reach when seated. - The design is very clean and professional. It is modest, but the back design and materials make this stand out from other chairs. - Armrest height and position are adjustable in every way. I was able to perfectly align the armrest with my keyboard tray to support my arms and reduce strain on my wrist from being at an awkward angle. - The adjustable backrest/recline stops are perfect. You don't have to keep the tension on the backrest super high or lock it straight up and down. I keep the backrest set on the first recline setting, allowing me to lean back just the right amount when I want. - The curved back and lumbar adjustment make a real difference in comfort after a few hours of use (my old chair's rigid back was killing me) - The warranty is 12 years long - just in case something does go wrong. Things to Consider - Compared to many inexpensive chairs I have owned or used this chair is heavy. It rolls easily on a hard surface or mat, but it is awkward to lift and might drag on some carpets. Make sure you get the recommended wheels for your surface type and some help if you need to lift it. - This chair is a good fit for me at 5'9" and a little over 200lbs, but I have the adjustable seat bottom extended almost all the way forward for my legs and my shoulder blades are near the top of the back rest. The chair is rated for people up to 400lbs, but it my might not be for you if you are close to 6' or have long legs. - Only the back reclines and there is no adjustment for bottom seat angle. - I love the adjustable arms, but height is the only adjustment that locks in place (via a lever on the armrest). You should be careful if you are normally use the arms to get out of a chair, because they will swing in or out on you if push on them. - The seat and back cushions/padding are on the firm side. They are supportive but may not be for you if you prefer a soft/plush feel.
