Steelcase
Steelcase Gesture Ergonomic Office Chair
The best armrests in any chair — 360-degree arm movement supports every work posture from typing to tablet to phone.
Our Review
The Steelcase Gesture was designed for the modern multi-device worker. Its signature feature is the 360-degree armrests that move in every direction — up, down, in, out, forward, back, and pivoting — to support your arms whether you're typing on a keyboard, swiping a tablet, holding a phone to your ear, or sketching on paper. No other chair offers this range of arm support. The seat and back adjust together for a natural recline, and the core equalizer adapts to different spine shapes. 12-year warranty, Steelcase build quality, and the most innovative armrest system on the market.
