A $1300 chair (Before shipping) is out of reach for 90% of us.

[@exturkconner]

@@surveysays8335 1445 actually for the one as reviewed the first one that pops up doesn't have the optional headrest. And the gesture isn't even their best chair the Leap is. But I would say the Amia and the Series 2 are both also entirely quality chairs and sell for like half money. Though truth be told I'd always suggested buying chairs like this from a refurb place. Businesses will often buy fleets off these chairs take them off of taxes so they are free. Use them several years, and then sell them to a refurb place for next to nothing (and still be happy cause they just sold something that they got to write off on taxes so they made money on the chairs long term). The refurb places will throw on fresh padding and cloth and resell them often for less than half money. You can get a fully kitted Leap V2 pretty regular for sub 600 with shipping included. You can get Leap V1's pretty often in the 400 dollar range restored to like new condition.

I'm 6"2, I grabbed the secret lab titan and love it its cheaper and really good for tall people, no issues with lacking lumbar support or having to arch your legs duee to the seat being the wrong height, give it a try if you can or just return it if you don't like it

A chair like this is an investment in your physical health just like a good mattress is. As some one who has bought cheap chairs and mattresses and then went and bought proper ones it's worth every penny.

[@AlphaMachina]

I found a Steelcase Leap Plus at the Goodwill for $13 a year~ ago. To think I had no clue how amazing of a chair it was, and was more excited about finding a Singer sewing machine for $10. Well, I soon found out that I had just paid $13 for an $1800 chair. It's a hideous kind of forest green color with a stain down the middle of it, but that's a price I'm willing to pay for the price I paid. I removed the cover to the seat (it's like a really tough material that's cinched around some kind of really dense memory foam with a cord pulling it taught on the underside.) I was able to get it off and I hand washed the cover outside with the hose and some soap, and then I treated it with some antimicrobial disinfectant. Looks like a brand new chair, and it's so freaking comfortable.

[@psihius]

Find a deal in your area - they should be able to refurbish the chair - change the fabrics and all that stuff. These things are built to last for a decade+ and it is normal (from what my local dealer told me) for the companies to send in their chairs for fabric replacement or proper cleaning instead of just buying new once. So yeah, you just found something that will last you a long time for, basically, free :D

[@terryshaw13]

Watching Jay while sitting in my Steelcase Amia, they ARE worth the money. Also a tip for anyone shocked/turned off by the price, watch marketplace for office clearouts. These are a common chair in banks and law firms and most offices. Often times you can find one for CHEAP because the contractor was told to "throw them out" and has them listed on marketplace for like $50. That being said, if you have the money a new one would be amazing! They have so many colors and choices! Also, when scared off by the price, you spend over $1000 on your gaming pc never mind monitors, mics gear etc. But your chair is literally the only thing that you sit on. So getting something solid that actually supports you, your body will thank you. It will also probably be the last chair you buy.

[@santooth]

I have owned this chair since the beginning of this year (2021) and I love it. I am a big guy as well 6'4" 290lbs and it sits me just fine. Amazing chair and with a 12 year warranty, its worth the price cause you won't have to keep buying a new chair every few years now!

[@ZRubidium]

I've had my Steelcase Gesture with headrest now for 18 months, absolutely the best purchase I've ever made. I'm 6'4" 215lbs, Steelcase has a 15% off sale twice a year, I got mine during that paid $1,100 shipped. It beats anything I've ever owned.

[@gr3y5had0w]

We have two of them. I bought mine because I have issues with my back since childhood and usually lot of backpain. The chair really helped. I'm a programmer and sitting in my chair ~12 hours a day. You can't put a price on your health, especially when it helps ease your pain. My gf bought one right after that and she's also loving it.

[@cemerson]

For all those complaining about price - at least in the UK, this comes with a 12 year warranty, and will likely last well beyond that given the build quality. When you work out the cost per year, it really makes a lot more sense. Granted you need the cash to drop on it straight away but I'd guess the cost per year of its useful life will be a lot lower than other, cheaper chairs.

[@turdferguson9725]

Comes with a 12 year warranty in the US too. I did the same math and figured it'd be cheaper to get my steelcase gesture at aprox $1200, so it's $100 per year.

[@TheMrModders]

Nah. Ive had my 50 dollar computer desk chair for 5 years. Great back support, just not as mobile as this chair. Complete scam for the excessively rich to give away their money

[@simpledj509chromo7]

This is my rationale for buying work boots and a lot of other things. Yeah, my boots are $600 a pair. But they're custom made for me and last six times as long as boots I have used in the past for $250-$300. More comfort and longevity is worth the expense, even though it takes longer to save up.

19:23 WAIT this is an amazing idea. A workout ergo chair. It comes with a QR that leads to a bunch of workouts you can do with your chair. Great for people with small spaces and no room for equipment.

[@mike6889]

I bought a Steelcase Gesture chair less than 2 years ago and the hydraulic cylinder started going bad. Steelcase's customer service and warranty is the best I've ever experienced. I emailed them and explained what was happening and provided my original order number. All they wanted was a photo or video of the issue. No questions asked, they sent me a brand new chair and said I can keep the old one. So, I gave the old one to the wife :)

[@giovannip.1433]

Big difference between just sitting in a chair for a couple of hours vs moving around, getting in and out an different people using a workstation chair for hours on end. I've seen many chairs of different designs come in and go out due to broken wheels, gas lifts, arms, torn seats, busted backs etc. You only have 1 back and 2 knees- spend the money to get quality, strength and comfort.

Best chair I've had so far has been a fitness ball/chair. Shifting around improved my balance. Started sitting at desk in barracks room with both arms on desk and both feet on floor. Then would moved around and put one leg up, then the the other leg up as Jay demonstrated sitting on his leg. Then started sitting on it Indian style at my desk. Eventually I ended up sitting on it Indian style in the middle of the floor without touching anything while playing Xbox games. It strengthened my core muscles so much it improved my posture and I was measured an inch taller at the next weigh in. On the next PFT I performed 98 crunches in the first minute (we got two minutes to do a max of 100 crunches).

[@VidzByCarloS13]

I too switched to a Steelcase Gesture. Best investment ever. I came from a Secret Labs Titan. That chair was nice because I'm a bit heavier and have wide shoulders. But the chair was too tall for me.

It just needs to be reupholstered as the fabric is just now starting to wear out. I blew my lower lumbar out in 2014 and This has been the best purchase i have ever made, It wasnt new, but it still has the most support out of any chair i have ever sat in. Now that im working from home, im literally in the chair 14+ hours a day with work and gaming.

I bought my 2nd Herman Miller Aeron chair back in 2005 when I moved to Australia and I am still using it. I added a 3rd party headrest to it - which it really needed. The Steelcase chair looks great and if I ever needed to upgrade, I would give it a serious look. The only downside I can see is the fabric seat. I really like the mesh fabric of the HM Aeron. But I agree with Jay, the most important piece of furniture you will ever buy is the chair you spend most of your time in. As a retired chiropractor, I can tell you a lot of back problems and lower limb circulation complaints are due to cheap office chairs.

[@bencze465]

I would say due to too much sitting... i am contemplating some changes and i think a standing desk (with a motor to raise / lower) is probably a lot healthier. I'm all for good chairs but I think it's a little bit like do you put 1 or 3 spoons of sugar in your cup of crap. Sure it may improve the taste marginally but doesn't solve the problem.

[@deminybs]

only had my aeron chair for a week or so now and I don't even really care for a headrest, how it naturally positions my back I don't feel it's needed. but everyone has different preferences also I really like the mesh over passing as well

I've had SO many office type chairs, I've never fallen for the 'gaming' chair nonsense, but they always start to creak, break or come apart after a couple of years, and they're generally not especially comfortable. Seeing Jay and Phil both sitting in the same chair comfortably, as well as Jay ragging on it showing the durability, I think I'm going to have to get me one of these. I'm 6'0" and 250lbs, similar to Nick, and the arm adjustability looks like a god-send.

I think the key thing on the sticker shock is these chairs come with some seriously long warranties and they do seem to last that long like the Herman miller i think has a 12 year warrant so your paying a bit more than $100 a year for the chair. This chair has a life time warranty, getting 10 years out of a high quality chair is not a wild thing to think of if you get to a price point of $130 a year basically its just the up front cost that is scary. TLDR the bang for your buck is emense for these chair as you generally are going to spend more on chair if you replacement when they wear out.

[@DrWiggo]

1:46 is 100% true.. I never understand the logic of people who buy the cheapest crapiest chair, when literally they sit in their chair all day long. it makes 100% perfect sense to invest in a quality chair, more than upgrading your computer since you interact with your chair more than your computer and is what determines your comfort level as you use your computer.

[@Luscious3174]

ERA office chairs are based in LA. You might want to take a look at them, especially their Galaxy. I like them because they also make "extra wide" versions of their models for the big and tall guys out there. The three problems I have always had with chairs was quality, height and width. Quality because I'm sick of dealing with bonded leather that turns into shit after 3 years and castors that cannot handle a heavy guy. Height because I don't want my legs going numb because my feet are carrying my weight. And width because even chairs that look comfortable still have armrests that rub on your sides as you sit. I've already had to replace one Ikea chair that broke because of shoddy castors and another Lazy Boy (shame on you) where the fake leather is just impossible to maintain and the foam no longer has support. Fortunately it's easy to fix the height issue since you can get replacement pneumatic seat posts in various sizes and use a rubber mallet to take it off the base. ERA aren't cheap though - a full leather chair from them can go for as much as $3000 and they use automotive Katzkin leather (also LA based). From what I've heard the FAA are one of ERA's customers since ATC guys demand a no-compromise chair to work in. That's a solid endorsement on quality right there.

[@Silverhks]

I always find it hilarious how much the price bothers people who have never used a good seat. Yes it's sticker is fairly steep but look at what you get. 12 year warranty, lots of comfort not getting up from in the desk feeling like you can't move. How many of those other chairs would you buy over the life of this one?

I bought this chair a few years ago and it was money well spent. After spending 10 hours a day on the computer for work I’d be in so much pain from my old chair. It was tough to decide what color combo to get. Glad I got the headrest for reclining during meetings.

[@lackinggravitas6751]

I tried one of these and ended up returning it. The big thing I couldn't get over was the fact that the seat didn't lean back when reclining. Also the headrest stuck out too far forward for me to find it comfortable when not reclined, so I kept it turned around out of the way the rest of the time. The first of those is subjective and the second one may not be a problem for some people (and you can get it without the headrest anyways). I found it to be great in every other way, it just didn't suit me and my preferences. I would definitely recommend trying it out if you're willing to spend this much on a chair, and the manufacturer has a 30-day free return policy so you don't lose anything if you don't like it.

[@brego129]

The height comparison with half of Jayz head out of view was choice, didn't realize Phil was such a runt! (I'm a monsterous 5'8) LoL. Nicely done guys

[@papafysh9343]

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who likes to sit Criss cross in a chair. I literally adjust myself so much because of my back

[@danishprince2760]

I have never found a chair I really like. There's always some issue that prevents me from buying it but this looks like it truly checks all the boxes :o

[@issamelarmi]

Steelcase have been for more than 10 years, my go to for comfortable, solid and reliable office chair products. Good choice Jayz

[@jalbertgo]

I have an office chair I found in the garbage :) so happy with it

[@smartgorilla]

Mine came from a skip from an office. It's a 500 chair!!

[@n1fty365]

As a big M.F myself, picking a chair out is just as important as the monitor you chose to play games on. saveing up for this now.

[@gamertrem1884]

Depending on the type of chair, what I do is I use a seat cover meant for a car. Just as a heads up for anyone wanting some extra protection for their chairs.

[@GrimSRT8]

Phil is going to hate this chair, his feet won’t touch the ground. Big/tall guys tend to love this chair based on the 37 reviews I’ve read/watch on it. I ordered a “Red Hot” (Jay we’ll get it) red Gesture with headrest this afternoon. It will match my 1LE. Evidently Jay and I like similar stuff.

[@marc_svsengineering4319]

Thanks for your order! Ok Jay, you convinced me...ok so I have been waiting for some time to upgrade my chair and a gaming chair isn't an option (they suck). I did some research and bit the bullet and got a custom Steelcase Gesture With Headrest and with Jays discount, it was a no brainer. I will review it and report back

[@Brogboolius_Maximus]

DUDE! I've had a Steelcase Leap for about 10 years now, and I honestly had no idea it had ANY of these features until you walked through all the knobs and whatnot on your chair. This video helped me slide the seat to a more comfortable forward/back position and tighten the resistance when leaning back (I always just locked it upright since it fell too easily before). I've always loved this chair, but man, it's never been more comfortable. Thanks, Jay!!

[@KenOtwell]

btw, I'm buying one. The TwoCents discount is only 6% off the total pre-tax price. It's possible the 10% only applies to the base chair and not the extras like lumbar and headrest. Plus I think there was already a black-Friday discount anyway. Not complaining mind you! I got an extra 6% off! Just FYI.

[@AsnorC]

I'd have chosen a fabric one too, but what sold me on the Aeron was that the mesh is easy to keep clean and I the fact that I live in Europe. We don't really have ACs here, so having the breathability of a mesh chair on top of a fan blowing air on my sweaty back, is a life saver in the hot summers.

[@ayyyfonz5938]

This video is 9 months old can we get an update now that the chairs are broken in, thanks

[@coylecharles]

My wife is a designer that sells Steelcase and a couple other brands. I got lucky that one of these Gesture chairs sans headrest came in the wrong color. They let us buy it for cheap. I have been using it for a couple of years, and will never go back to a cheap office chair. I am a big guy as well, 300 lbs and 6'3, and have had zero issues with this chair over that time. I tend to keep the back lock in the second position while working/gaming and drop it to the third position when watching content. The spring tension still holds my weight very well in that in between area of back position 2 and 3. My advice would be, if you want one of these, go to a local office interior store. They will often have these on the sales floor. Try it out, and maybe, if you are lucky, they have one in the warehouse that didn't come in correctly for the customer and is just collecting dust.

[@hanswichmann5047]

As an above knee (left, thank god) amputee, I'm kinda forced to use the arm rest to stand. The weakest point of every chair I've used. Jay, how strong is it? I like the under desk fold down feature of the rests too. Please keep us updated to how those arm joints hold up so I can justify the $$$$ without a go fund me account!! Love all your stuff....

[@PastorwithoutaPulpit]

From all the research I've been doing on these the arms remain rock solid after the longest I've found is two years of use. The good part is this is an American based company with a 12 year bumper to bumper warranty on these chairs. They even warranty the fabric which is pretty much unheard of. They also pay the shipping from what I've been able to find. I just ordered a Gesture for myself. I justify it with up until now the most I'd spend on a chair was $500 or less with $500 being the most expensive I've bought which is my Secret Labs Titan XL. I've had it two years and am just not completely happy with it. The seats a bit hard for my tastes and the back just doesn't fit me right. The wife however loves it so she'll be inheriting it. About the price budget, before this Titan I've had to buy a new chair almost every year. So even though the Gesture I just ordered was $1258 with all the bells and whistles, (head rest and added lumbar), as well as Indiana state tax. That would mean my budget for yearly replacement over the next 12 years would be $104.83 per chair. I can tell you from experience at that price level you're not getting anything built well enough to last or very comfortable for prolonged sitting. That's something a lot of people don't think about when pricing anything really is how long will it last before needing replacement. With Steelcase it's a 12 year warranty from a company located here in the States and from what I've found their chairs last much longer than that. Hope all this word salad helped in some way and I truly hope you find the chair that will work for you...

[@ctingulz]

I’ve been using a steel case chair for years in the office. Once I was forced into work from home I bought my own because they are just so comfortable. Definitely worth the price. I didn’t get this one though, I got the Amia model and it’s great.

[@ExperimentNo626]

Omg I’ve been waiting for a video like this from you guys :) Please more chair videos! They’re SUCH an essential for your setup, I’m surprised that chairvideos by gaming enthusiasts are so scarce

[@Fumbuzi]

As someone who's in the market for a good chair, thank you. Before covid I'd commute past a steelcase store on the daily and I'm heading over this week to test out their options. Cheers.

[@REH86]

16:01 I don't know if this is a "big guy" thing, or really a "tall guy" thing. I'm tall and thin, but this is my absolute go to way to sit at my desk. I don't know why I do it, I just notice it because my legs ends up going numb. One ankle under the opposite thigh, I switch it back and forth both ways.

[@toon6476]

Same! But I'm a shorter guy myself! I found out I sit like this because my feet are dangling when my arms are positioned comfortable on my desk, so either my desk is too high, or my legs too short.

[@tuskenc]

Thank you for the review! Sorry I didn't buy it using your affiliate link. Amazon had it in the fabric and color I wanted for even cheaper than your discount code. I've been searching for a new office/gaming chair since July and hadn't found one that checked all the boxes like this one does. So excited!

[@ficklampa]

office chairs > gaming chairs

[@AlexaRex]

This looks excellent. I'm around 370lbs, 6'2", and watch everything on my PC, not TV, so I sit here all the time, and I struggle to find comfortable chairs that fit my size and stay comfortable. I'm in Norway though, so I suspect, if they ship here at all, it will cost a lot :P As the chair already do, but it would being high quality and all. But I need it.

[@DaMobzz]

I really love and need a chair like this for my back, been having issues for years. But 1450 dollar is waaay out of my budget sadly 😥

[@boredandagitated]

There are companies that refurbish these and sell them used with fresh foam and stuff. Much cheaper. Around $400 if I remember right

[@TheSthotter]

Been working physically strenuous jobs for the last 15 years. Started working from home this year and had to throw together a set up quick, and cheap. My $70 Office Max chair just isn't doing me any favors. More back pain than any of my previous jobs and it's only been two weeks. Saved the video to favorites to hopefully save up for this chair.

[@TexansFan1100]

Hey Jay, just want to throw in my two cents here. I know these chairs feel amazing and I have no doubt they are worth the price, but I'm sure that most of your viewers rigs don't even cost this much. I would love if you could put in some videos of more affordable options for us I know it would be well received.

[@byronhoward5463]

Jay did that video last year. A much more affordable 350 USD chair.

[@ArgandTabletop]

This is not AngryBrownGuy's two cents. That would be a fun channel though.

[@thanorodd5663]

I actually really appreciate this video. My existing chair went bust, and I’ve been very undecided on which “ergonomic” chair to pull the trigger on, and it’s impossible to find these things to actually try them. Well, now I know! Awesome to see the perspective of dudes with similar body types to myself and see how it fits them. Not sure I’ll swing it before the end of your affiliate link, but I get my annual bonus in February, and now I know I’m getting a Steelcase Gesture. Thank you!

[@deminybs]

Horray for upgrades!! just got me a Herman Miller aeron chair 🥰 9:17....lol yeah cuz that's how you test the tension... instead of sitting in it . Of course it's hard to pull it back with just your hands 🤦

[@HeavyMetalGamer78]

Hopefully this chair exists (or some newer nicer version of it) when my vertagear trigger chair dies out on me. I love my trigger chair and it showed me what spending more on an office chair can be like but I feel like it is better gaming chair that just isn't at the level of the pure office chairs like these or the herman miller chairs

[@kafarske123]

Ahh. Just as im going to bed, next to my sleeping 6 year old 😂 need to watch it as soon as possible. Luckely shee is a deep sleper ❤️

[@fatsmansluvscakes]

i've been using an old as hell Steelcase Drive chair for years, old roommate had it and left it at the house when he moved out, and i gotta say.....PERFECT. it has almost all the exact same features minus the arm rests but i can still move them up and down and they flip to be more spaced out or close together. its getting pretty creaky and the fabric is falling starting to stress and fall apart but i just cant being myself to get rid of such a wonderful chair. I can sit in this thing for 12 hours straight and feel great. Cant recommend Steelcase highly enough.

[@x7slim8x]

The cheapest chair on their website is nearly $500.... I'm gonna pass and sit here on my hand me down office chair with stains and fart dust.

[@profosist]

Look up a series 1 on Amazon should be about $300 not customized which is like half the cost of other lowest offerings from these companies

[@jose_mateo_bastian]

Love this chair, the arm rests were things i was in doubt before buying, but after a year+ of use i guarantee you - they are amazing. This chair is so good - i can sit in this chair for days, its so comfortable and adjustable.
