I love the Steelcase Gesture. After a couple of months of sitting on it, I can safely say it’s the most comfortable chair I’ve ever had the pleasure of placing my back on. It’s soft and supportive in all the right places and has the adjustments you need to make it feel custom-made to fit your needs.
All of that comes at a price, though — a very high price. With a $1,444 MSRP (though often discounted to closer to $1,100), it will hit your budget hard. Add in the $277 headrest and $22 hard floor wheels we received on our test model, and you have a chair that’ll set you back $1,693. If you go for leather upholstery, it can exceed $2,000.
