Extremely disappointed. First off, let me say that the chair is very solidly built; they clearly use quality parts. I finally convinced myself to spend extra money on an office chair because I am at my computer for most of my spare time, and I spend $100-200 at Staples every couple of years to replace the cheap office chairs I buy. I figured with a price tag of nearly $1000, this chair must be near perfection. I also read reviews, all of which praised this chair. Unfortunately, for me, it just ended up being extremely uncomfortable. The Gesture just doesnt have enough padding for my butt to remain comfortable for more than 5 minutes. Sure, I could spend money on additional padding, but why; I already spent over $1000. Another issue is that the right side arm rest, at its max height, was almost 1 lower than the left side. That is just unacceptable for a $1000 chair.
Im actually writing this review while sitting in the raggedy, beat up, uneven piece of junk Staples chair that I was hoping to replace... and you know what? Im comfortable. I cannot recommend anyone spend more than $500 on this chair - and that $500 price is simply for the quality parts. I highly suggest you find a showroom and test out this chair (or any high priced furniture) before purchasing; unfortunately, there are none near me.
I guess Ill stick to my old routine of picking up a new, cheap office chair every 1-2 years. Oh well. Thankfully is great when it comes to returns.
