What the community says
Consensus on r/OfficeChairs: first choice for tablet and phone work; the recurring criticism is that the lumbar isn't height-adjustable and that it runs warmer than the Leap V2 for prolonged sedentary work.
Good fit
- Users working across computer, tablet and phone, switching postures
- Professionals who make many video calls and recline frequently
- Robust-build people (up to 181 kg capacity)
- Anyone who values the widest arm adjustment on the market
Not ideal for
- Users in warm climates who prefer breathable mesh
- Anyone needing lumbar height adjustment (the Gesture lacks it)
- Very prolonged sedentary work with no frequent posture change
- Budgets below €1,300
Strengths
- 360° arms designed for posture across screens and mobile devices
- Core Equalizer™: dynamic lumbar support that adapts in every position
- Widest arm-width range on the market
- Lifetime frame warranty + 12 years on mechanisms (24/7 use)
- Capacity up to 181 kg (400 lb)
- Especially valued for multi-device users and video calls
Weaknesses
- The most expensive of the new Steelcase range (~€1,500)
- Upholstered backrest, less breathable than mesh
- The 360° arm can become unstable under heavy use, per some reviews
- Requires official distribution; not in general stores
