The Gesture Chair
If you're prone to using multiple devices at work throughout the day, how does your chair support you? When you're seated in the Steelcase Gesture Chair, the answer will be "in every which way."
Designed to fit the widest range of users and tasks while taking up the least amount of space, the Gesture is the infinitely-adjusting chair that ensures you're always sitting with the right amount of support. After years of studying the alternative postures that people prefer sit in when they engage with their tablets, phones, and devices, Steelcase's designers made it happen, creating the ideal ergonomic chair for the future that delivers much more flexibility at work, starting with its arms.
Set toward the back of the chair, 360° rotating arms (which raise, lower, and pivot) support healthy movement, and remain at the correct ergonomic angle whether you're upright or reclined. No matter what device or task you have at hand, the Gesture's arms are there to offer steadfast support, and can even be moved out of the way when you don't need them.
Then there's support your lower back; LiveBack Technology automatically adjusts to imitate your spine's natural movement, working through a series of synchronized interfaces, and providing personalized lumbar support that'll keep you focused and working comfortably. The core-equalizer works with your body to stabilize back and abdominal muscles while the height-adjustable lumbar support fits even the tallest of users.
Paired with adjustable back tension, a variable back stop, and an optional height-adjustable lumbar support, the Steelcase Gesture Chair will change the way you think (and feel!) about office seating forever.

I have never had a more comfortable chair
Generally speaking, I am averse to writing product reviews, but I feel responsible to share with people that this is the absolute most comfortable desk chair I have ever sat in. In fact, sitting down for the first time was nearly a religious experience. Being six-foot-four and lanky, I have always looked at desk chairs with dread, knowing they wouldn't fit my body and I would be uncomfortable. Now things are different. Every part of my body that should be supported by a good chair is supported. Having just received the chair, I can't say anything as to its durability, but knowing Steelcase offers a fantastic warranty, I'm sure that checks out too. Buy the chair if you've got the cash!

Steelcase Gesture Chair - Petite/Low Profile
I didn't think I could get excited about a chair but I am here to tell you that this is fantastic!!!
I've been waiting and saving for almost two years in order to purchase this chair. I'm petite 5'2" with short legs/short arms and I've been uncomfortable for years in a variety of standard office chairs. I couldn't find anything that would fit my body type and provide optimum ergonomics until I found the Steelcase Gesture Chair, with it's low-profile short version it goes low enough to the floor that I can comfortably sit with my feet touching the ground.
I love the adjustable seat depth, finally a chair that doesn't cut into the back of my knees and legs causing me to hurt and my legs to go numb! The arms adjust inwards to fit my narrow frame and move up easily to provide support. I was developing shoulder issues and poor posture from the lack of arm support with my previous chair.
I think it has a nice design and love all of the color options. It's really comfortable, and now I can put in a full 8 hours from my home office. I have spent more time sitting at my desk in the last month than I have in the last four months. I'm catching up on all of my work. It's amazing what not being in pain or uncomfortable does for your focus and productivity!
If your feet don't touch the ground in a regular chair and you are tired of perching at the edge, putting your feet on a foot rest, feeling restless, fidgety and all of the back pain, neck pain, and frustration that comes with it... I would definitely recommend checking out the Steelcase Gesture Chair - Low Profile and get the lumbar support.
It's frustrating that there is a short person tax, that I can't go out and buy a comfortable chair for $300-600 dollars. However, I am glad to have this chair now, my productivity has greatly improved, and I'm in a lot less pain. I hope the chair is durable enough to last for many years. -
Solid construction and very adjustable.
Have only had the chair a week, but already find it supportive and comfortable. Just wish that you could lock the arms in place somehow once you got them adjusted. Overall, would highly recommend this chair!

Good chair
This chair has done wonders for my back. Can sit in it for any period of time without soreness or pain. Feels like it should last a long time. If you can afford it and the aesthetics are to your liking, it's worth having. I'm not going to get into too much detail because there's already enough info out there about this chair, too much to get into here. I researched a lot of chairs and decided this was the one for me. So far it seems worth every penny. With the uplift desk combo it was cheaper here than anywhere else.
Pros:
-Comfortable
-Adequate adjustments
-Solid and sturdy construction
-All materials feel premium
-No loose or noisy parts
Cons:
-Very pricey for being made in Mexico
-First unit arrived with major condition issues (returned and replaced almost hassle free and they cross shipped the replacement)
-Made of more plastic materials than I expected (it does admittedly feel like high quality plastics but there are still solid metal pieces in the construction)
-Wish the arms were a bit more adjustable. You get about 5 levels of height, 5 levels of side tilt to the arm pads, and the side to side rotate motion of the whole arm, while adequate, could have been wider. Also would have been nice if the entire arm had the ability to slide from front to back to some extent. The arm pads do however slide front to back about maybe 3 inches.
This product comes standard with a limited lifetime warranty.
