Review: Most versatile chair I have ever owned - This chair has been such an amazing daily driver since I bought it! I have struggled with getting my arms in the most relaxed position- close to the desk, just the right height- and the ability to shape the way I want it. The chair height is just perfect, and the arms match really well with the height (also adjustable) - so I can get in that comfort zone. The Seat is well made- and I would say it is a good 1-2 hours of straight work before you need to get up and just stretch a little, but that is with my settings. The seat sits more like an airline feel to me, so it grabs your sides and back just so well- you actually want to sit up straight because it feels so good. Never was a recliner in a chair-type worker- but when you move back, the seat moves with you and just hits all the right zones. I love it, The headrest is a little more finicky than I would want. But to spend the extra money and get a great rest on your head is worth the extra money. Plus the lumbar support - mine I have up all the way to the top and just feels top-notch. The Headrest, however, is a little struggle to get just right to where it feels amazing- and if you sit straight up your body gets pushed forward, when you go back you lose a little of the position- Lately, I do not use the headrest - just the comfort on the arms, seat, and back is worth the price- the headrest does get out of the way when positioned all the way back - so you get a double bonus there! Box it comes in is huge, and yesterday I had to tear down that box- and it took I would say 15-25 minutes since it is so large- no big deal but just saying - I use to get my chairs at staples, and I am done with that- this is an amazing chair, and I highly recommend it - it is something that I hope lasts a good 5-10 years - and after thinking about the price, which I dreaded to, I made the best investment for my work, arms, and back. I am so picky with this chair I did buy a cheap cover for the seat cushion. Man, I love this chair!! I would buy this immediately again- my congrats to Steelcase for nailing it - never will I buy from my local store again! - spend a little more get a lot of enjoyment for your work!
Review: This is The Chair - Pros: Best Chair Ever. That's not hyperbole - I'm 64 and have been doing office work for most of my adult life, and have through a wide variety of chairs from the cheap to expensive competitors, and none of them hold a candle to this chair. Assembly: dead easy. The only challenge is that the chair itself is heavy, so getting it out of the box is work, and getting the piston, chair and base aligned is definitely easier with two people. Other than that, assembly was seconds, easy, and required no tools at all. Adjustable: I'm short and um... fluffy, so no chairs ever fit me. This chair does, and perfectly. The seat moves in and out far enough that you can get the pressure points on your thighs exactly right and comfortable. It goes low enough that my feet are actually flat on the floor with no need for a cushion, but adjusts high enough for my 6' plus husband. The adjustable lumbar is ideal support, and adjusts far enough to suit a variety of needs. The 4 stops on the recline work perfectly, and even better, the tension adjustment on recline lets me get the chair to "just right" for long calls or long pounding keyboard sessions. The controls are easy to understand and logical, so no fumbling around trying to remember which dial does what. There are several reviews that call out the arm rests moving, and yes they do move, but they're stiff enough to stay put while seated, and pull right back in as needed. I can get them to exactly the right height and position with no fiddling at all, and a big plus is that they adjust forward and back as well as up and down. The seat itself is cushioned, but not mushy at all, so you get comfort with support for long days at the desk. The back is firm and comfortable. I added the headrest, which is as good a quality as the rest of the chair, looks great, and adjusts to "just right". After many, many years of trying to find the best economy chair, I finally bit the bullet and bought the chair I deserve. Now I'm reminded that there's a huge difference between "price" and "cost" and wish I'd done this years ago.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the headrest removable if I don't end up liking it?**
A: It's not designed to be removable. You might be able to find some instructions on how to do it by disassembling the back of the chair. You can also rotate the top cushioned part 180 degrees to face backwards so it's mostly out of the way.  I'm 5'4 and the headrest isn't comfortable for me because it doesn't go low enough. If you are taller it's probably fine.

**Q: Does this chair have some sort of magic healing property that justifies the 1500 price tag?**
A: If you have a back back it can possibly help yes.  BACKSTORE

**Q: Does this chair have premium 3" wheels?  If not, how do i order it with 3" wheels?**
A: Hello,

I'd be happy to help you out with that question!

Chairs feature only 65mm (2-1/2”) diameter dual-wheel casters which are constructed of durable nylon for smooth and quiet rolling.

Please let me know if you have any other questions or comments.

**Q: Is this chair manufactured post 2020 or before that?**
A: Hello,

I'd be happy to help you out with that question!

The chairs should be post 2020 however, we do not have a certain way of telling until we can see a label from the chair.

Please let me know if you have any other questions or comments.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You're unlikely to find a better chair
*by M***M on March 14, 2021*

There is no doubt that this chair is expensive, however, considering the price of the 3 chairs I have purchased in the past year and the fact that they have all fallen apart, the Gesture is an investment and I'll end up saving money by not buying $150-$300 chairs every few months. Also, in the unlikely event the Gesture is broken, it is covered by a 12-year warranty. You won't find anything remotely similar with chairs like those I have purchased in the last year. You're not simply buying a chair. You're investing in a piece of equipment. Write it off as a business expense if you have to, but you need to invest in this chair if you have to spend more than a couple hours at your desk every day. You are unlikely to find a better product on the market. I had seriously considered Herman Miller chairs, but I always found something that really bothered me about each model they make. The Gesture provides perfect support and is designed to suit a variety of positions that differ depending on the task you're doing or the device you're using. The headrest and armrests were what sold me. You can adjust the chair for anything from gaming to reading to completing work assignments. In terms of function, the Gesture has replaced my desk chair, gaming chair, and reading chair. In terms of form, this is a beautiful piece that complements any number of personal decorative styles. Did the chair cost a lot? Yes, of course it did. Has it replaced several other pieces of furniture that collectively cost much more? Absolutely, yes. This is not a cheap chair, but you definitely get what you pay for. You will never hear me express buyer's remorse about the Steelcase Gesture. It is one of the best purchases I have ever made.
