What We Like

  • The lumbar support is listed as adjustable.
  • The listing states a 12-year manufacturer warranty.
  • The base is listed as steel, and the overall footprint is 26.75 inches wide by 32 inches deep.

Watch Out For

  • It is among the priciest chairs in the whole range, so the gaps listed below weigh more than they would at a lower price.
  • Pivot is the sole arm adjustment stated, which puts the arms in the 1D class.
  • The listing does not state a weight capacity, a seat height range, a backrest height or a review count, and the first two are the numbers that matter most for a stool.

At a Glance

The title calls this a Steelcase Gesture Stool Chair, and the listing gives it an adjustable lumbar, 1D arms, a steel base and a 12-year warranty. Little else is stated, so treat it as a limited-detail listing.

Who This Chair Is For

  • Buyers shopping for a stool-height Gesture to use at a drafting-style worktop who want an adjustable lumbar and a seat that changes depth.
  • Anyone who wants a stated 12-year manufacturer warranty on a stool.

Who Should Look Elsewhere

  • Anyone who needs a documented weight rating before buying, since the listing does not state one.
  • Shoppers on a tight budget, because only one other chair across every category is priced higher.

Lumbar, seat depth and tilt controls on the Gesture stool

The lumbar support is listed as adjustable, and the seat depth is adjustable too. Tilt tension adjusts and the tilt locks at four positions. The only arm adjustment stated is pivot. The listing does not state a tilt mechanism type or a recline angle.
