Steelcase Gesture has the most useful arm range
Our pick
Steelcase Gesture
Gesture’s 360-degree arms are easier to position across devices and body widths than any other chair here. C300 Pro V2 follows movement through recline, while Leap offers stable, conventional 4D arms.
Why it fits this need
- Height range
- Width range
- Main trade-off
- The lumbar support is less independently tunable than Leap, and the arm pads can shift when used to push up from the chair.
- Choose SIHOO Doro C300 Pro V2 instead when
- A tall, highly adjustable all-mesh chair with a supportive headrest
More reasons behind this pick
- Depth and pivot
- Stability in use
Armrests should support the elbows across typing, mousing, tablets and reclined reading.
