Height-adjustable armsConnect fabricSeat depth adjustmentMedium SeatHard-floor casters

What We Like

The arms adjust in height, and the back is Connect fabric over a polyester seat.
A 12-year warranty and a 400 lb weight rating are both stated.
The seat depth is adjustable, so the front edge can be set to suit your leg length.

Watch Out For

The support sub-score is 0, tied for the lowest in its category, because the listing does not state lumbar support or a backrest height.
The listing states height adjustment only for the arms (1D), at the fourth-highest price in its category.
A 4.6 rating rests on 5 reviews, so it carries little weight yet.

At a Glance

Blueprint Connect fabric and the Medium Seat named in its title define this Gesture. It adds height-adjustable arms and an adjustable seat depth, with a 400 lb rating and a 12-year warranty.

Who This Chair Is For

Buyers who want a Blueprint Connect fabric back over a polyester seat.
People who need a 400 lb weight rating together with a 12-year manufacturer warranty.

Who Should Look Elsewhere

Anyone who needs a seat height range spelled out, since the listing does not state one.
Shoppers who want arms that adjust in more than height, because the listing states height adjustment only.

Connect fabric, gas lift and footprint on the Blueprint Medium Seat Gesture

The back upholstery is listed as Connect fabric, 100% polyester, over a seat listed as 100% polyester. Seat height is handled by what the listing calls pneumatic seat height adjustment. Overall, the chair measures 28.75 inches wide and 28.75 inches deep. A lumbar type, a recline angle and a tilt mechanism type are all not stated.

Why consider: Lists a lumbar that adjusts in height and arms in the 2D class, where this listing states no lumbar and height adjustment only for the arms.
