    Wasn't impressed considering the price

    I ordered this and was excited. When I opened the box and pulled it out (extremely heavy) I was not impressed. It just didn't look and feel how it was portrayed in photos.

    Great chair with 10-year warranty

    I WFH between 8-10 hours a day. After struggling with many $100-150 office chairs that would give out within a year, the Steelcase Gesture is a refreshing change. It takes a bit of adjusting, but it is definitely the most comfortable and supportive office chair I've owned. I do not have back pain after a long day in the chair. My only caveat is that I wish there was a way to lock some adjustments in place; the armrests seem to want to move a lot on their own when I am entering and exiting the chair. The 10-year warranty and top notch build quality justifies the high cost of the chair.

    A Comfortable Chair

    I read a lot of reviews online and compared various chairs prior to purchasing. I liked that the chair is adjustable and ergonomic: the arms adjust forward and side to side; the lumbar support is nice; the adjustable seat depth is useful for when I want to sit forward. I appreciated that I am able to recline smoothly and recline depth is also adjustable. It is firm but comfortable. It feels high quality and is designed well. The chair comes with a guide to help you learn where everything is. It does arrive fully assembled. However, the cobalt that is pictured on Best Buy's listing is incorrect. Look at the colors on Steelcase's website before purchasing. It is also very heavy. It has been a couple of weeks since it arrived but I am happy with this chair.
