At $1,510.48 the Steelcase Gesture is the flagship task chair that reviewers keep at the top of the pile, with 360-degree arms built for phone and tablet postures. Quality and Features both score 92 for the contoured LiveBack, full recline with three locks, right-side controls and a 400-pound rating, and Warranty scores 96 on the 12-year, 24/7 policy. Value drags at 58: this is the most expensive chair here bar the Aeron, and the price is the whole caveat. It is for someone who switches between keyboard, phone and tablet all day and wants the most adjustable arms made, with budget not the deciding factor.
