"Oh nice a new chair I could use one. "
Looks up chair and price
Over $1,000
Looks at current chair
"yea I'm good."
😂😂🤣🤣
A $1300 chair (Before shipping) is out of reach for 90% of us.
@@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 think it's closer to $1500..Not worth it for this guy.
I did the same thing hahaha $1200 on Amazon, I'm good with my POS haha
I was sold on getting this chair. As a 6ft 3 260lbs dude, The lumbar and neck support would help alot. When I heard $1300 ..my heart and hopes sank. God I wish I had this 😭
youre too tall for a discord mod but I guess almost heavy enough
As a 6-foot two-and-a-half in 235 lb. Man, I completely agree. If only really nice stuff was cheap
you can find a steelcase gesture at some used office furniture stores for much less; about 400. Thats how i got a Humanscale Freedom for about 350. I have found an Aeron for about 400
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
Im 6’6” 300 lbs, wont be buying this chair that costs more than a scalped GPU lol.
We have Steelcase chairs at the office, and when they replaced them with a newer model, I talked supervisor in selling me my old chair. Absolutely brilliant chairs!
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.
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.
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
@@psihius I know, it's amazing. I'm gonna look around for that. Thanks.
srsly 13 bucks? man thats real nice.
Nice find!
wtf
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!
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.
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 :)
I've had this chair for almost two years now, it's amazing and love the arm flexibility. Still going strong. Very good choice.
Yup, 10000% worth it.
and when anyone as 1k to drop on a chair then will remember that
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.
when is that sale roughly?
@@rickv5004 Right now
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.
Hey! How about an update on how well you like this chair? Still digging it?
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.
I never thought I’d see Jay do an unboxing standing on a table.
Brings a whole new meaning to a Standing Desk
I think I remember him already doing that.
@@Pumciusz I believe it was one of the monitors
A la Linus
Lol
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.
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.
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
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.
@@TheMrModders lol tell us what chair you have because I think you're lying.
no I had my $130 chair for 8 years and only got ride of it because of moving I gave it away
I've had mine for a year now and man ... it's really made a world of a difference. Especially when being in home office for 8 hours. Total bliss for the back
When I started working from home part time almost ~4 years ago I bought a Gesture; by far the best purchase I've made, can't recommend these chairs enough!
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.
i've had the steelcase leap for over six years now and its the best chair i have ever had
As soon as jay said that he sits cross cross on this chair and the fact that it conforms to angled backs, I went “Chair mine” out loud, and my confirmed my sister’s theory that I have more Neanderthal in my blood.
Sign me up too! (It's funny, I read this comment and straightened up in excitement to write this 😂 and now we return to our regular lean)
Now jay needs to venture into reviewing furniture such as couches, outdoor seating, tables, office equipment, etc.
Jayztwosits
So you're saying we need more dad content.
Jayztwoporches
"This is the most important update to our office yet!"
Me: A real server?
Also me seeing a big ass box: Definitely a server!
Jay: CHAIRS!
Don't worry. I thought the same thing.
I sit in a desk/office chair all day. I can definitely say that Jay, is not wrong. I spent about $1k on my chair, and I don't regret a thing, all these years later.
@@madness1931 I just wish my chair at work was anywhere near as nice as my chair at home
I have a Steelcase Criterion. My old job bought it specifically for me, and I kept it after I left. It's built like a tank, and even my cat tries to steal my chair. Glad you found out what I've known for years!
But now I want a Gesture..... trade?
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!!
First mod - five point harness for the REALLY scary games!
I have loved my Herman Miller Aeron for the past 10 years that I've had it. It's been worth every penny that I paid for it. This is the first chair that has peaked my interest enough to consider upgrading from my Aeron.
Love mine as well!!
@@nebchevy I just pulled the trigger on this chair. Will let you know on December 10th whether I'm happy or sad with a $1450 purchase based on one of Jay's videos. This chair looks like it may solve the one thing that I don't like about my Aeron.
I've had SO many office type chairs, I've never fallen for the 'gaming' chair nonsense, but they always start to creak, break or come apart after a couple of years, and they're generally not especially comfortable. Seeing Jay and Phil both sitting in the same chair comfortably, as well as Jay ragging on it showing the durability, I think I'm going to have to get me one of these. I'm 6'0" and 250lbs, similar to Nick, and the arm adjustability looks like a god-send.
Back when I worked at the office we had Steelcase chairs and there were indeed comfortable - and very adjustable.
Getting a well-fitting chair for working and gaming at home has proven to reduce back and leg discomfort. I can work all day and game all night with ease.
I have never found a chair I really like. There's always some issue that prevents me from buying it but this looks like it truly checks all the boxes :o
3:02 Great transition Phil. Reminds me of Home Improvement
I knew that transition reminded me of something. Good catch.
Upgraded my crappy racing style chair to a Steelcase when I started working from home. Best purchase i've made.
Love this chair, the arm rests were things i was in doubt before buying, but after a year+ of use i guarantee you - they are amazing. This chair is so good - i can sit in this chair for days, its so comfortable and adjustable.
It's nice to see the gesture getting some love. I didn't even realize it was that versatile. Great vid.
I have owned two steelcase leap chairs for over 10 years in my home office. You will be very satisfied with your purchase. Btw I'm 6'5" and the lumbar support works great.
We have used steelcase at my company for a long time now. They are expensive, but they make some damn good products. I have one of their leap chairs in my office, and love it.
I bought an 800$ chair not long ago and man. The comfort is incredible! Made me realise that it actually was the most important part of a pc setup
I'd love a chair like that but $1300 US is way out of my budget right now.
Go with secret labs. There chair's are amazing and 5 year warranty. I had a tare in the seat and they replaced the entire seat no questions.
You can get a Herman Miller for around $500 used. Check out offer up. You'll find one 1/3 the price of new.
@@smith97320 secret labs is overrated trash
there are several refurbish outlets for office furniture that provide warranty. You can get some stuff 50% off retail. I bought a refurb leap v2 with extras under $500
ikea markus. its 150 on a deal
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!
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. However, the Steelcase Gesture fixed all of my posture issues. The used chair market is great for these types of chairs. I bought one used and have no regrets.
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
Honestly for somebody who’s 6’3” with a broken gaming chair cause I sat in it wrong, every time you give input on chair it REALLY helps ‼️
I appreciate you having the whole crew sit in it since my build and weight is similar to Nick's and glad he seemed to enjoy it just as much. Pulled the purchase on getting my own with this video being the last nudge I needed.
Same, I hope we both end up happy with our purchases.
I'm of course betting we will is why I pulled the trigger. I'm sure you like me looked at the cost per year of use to justify the up front cost because when you think about it. This thing has a 12 bumper to bumper warranty that even covers the fabric. So that broke down for me after adding headrest and added lumber to $104.83 per year. I've also found that their chairs generally outlive even that 12 year warranty. Sorry I'm rambling because like you I'm really hoping this is the last chair I have to research and buy...
I have two gestures on order, good to hear they are as awesome as I thought they would be.
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.
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.
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 have a Herman Miller but need to replace it, it only lasted 6 months before falling apart, it was in good condition when I got it from an office auction, but very quickly wore out in many different ways since using it while working from home :(. There's a Steelcase showroom near me so I might go check out these chairs see if they are any better (and if they have a good warranty).
shit $1,989 AUDea
@@Phat_Plants For something that costs ~$1300 USD, $1989 AUD is actually very good, USD prices rarely include tax but the AUD price includes 10% tax so with current exchange rate that is pretty much bang on for price parity which is a refreshing change :)
I can't believe I watched a full chair review. The armrests and lumbar have me very interested. Not in the budget 'til 22 but it'll definitely be on my radar. 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
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.
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.
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).
Ah the ole PFT
Add this training to Parris Island / San Diego. Recruits all meditating on the PT field on exercise balls 🤣
@@jeremycarroll978 I think it helped my balance a lot too. Good balance helps when carrying a full load. I can picture the images of a bunch of recruits balancing on fitness balls. I'm sure certain news channel personalities would go nuts.
@@jeremycarroll978 Lmfaoooo I can just imagine all the DI's that would lose their absolute minds after like a minute
One thing I'd say is for any of these higher end chairs is try them out. It's all personal preference. The Herman Miller Aeron really worked for me and helped my back. I've used a number of Steelcase for work. Due to all their settings they work for more people.
For those of you with Aeron keep an eye out for a head rest. Really improves the reclining relaxation.
I have an Aeron and love it. Added an Atlas headrest. I could sit in this chair all day.
@@gaaalavant I have the larger Engineered Now model. I also have the older Aeron having has it for 5-6 years now.
Hell yeah! love mine and the headrest. I have a terrible back and had a fusion 6 months ago and my Herman Miller is AMAZING! save your back and body and forget cheap "gamer chairs"..
If you have a local dealer and a good consultant who can explain you everything you need to know - it's amazing. In my area the owner of the local dealer was an ex athlete with education in sports and he took an hour of his time to explain every single detail to me and find the chair that fits me. No regrets and I even dragged my wife out to get a chair for her - she went in a span of 30 minutes from "I will entertain this dumb idea of spending this amount of money on a chair because we have the time" to "You are buying me this one, non-negoatiable" :D
@@psihius hell yeah! Great to hear!!!
Just ordered one. They’re on sale for 15% off until The end of the year and Jay’s code stacks (kind of; I ended up with more like 20% off, so $1176 for a $1470 chair.)
Finally, a propper chair on a tech channel instead of those "gaming" trash cans called, chairs :D
I have tried the Gesture and some others, but decided the LEAP just fits me so perfect, and the warranty, and the experience I had buying it, and now sitting in it for more than 2 years in my job that is 12h shifts in front of the screen, I can tell you, I is the best money spent ever! :D
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.
I was lucky enough to get my Steelcase for free from a local office that was replacing all of their chairs. Actually has a custom coffee bean patterned fabric because it cam from a community coffee office. Best chair I have ever owned.
My high school had a contract with steel case and every chair on the entire campus was sooooo comfortable they do a great job even the cheaper plastic school chairs on wheels are fantastic
It doesn't get much more honest than this folks...at least it's from someone who uses the product and knows what the hell he's talking about. quite refreshing these days.
I have an office chair I found in the garbage :) so happy with it
Mine came from a skip from an office. It's a 500 chair!!
I use Steelcase chairs. They are the best. I’ve had my most recent one 6 years and still my favorite chair.
I got the steelcase series 2 as a graduation present from college. By far the nicest chair I have had. The seat is firm but still comfortable.
Steelcase have been for more than 10 years, my go to for comfortable, solid and reliable office chair products. Good choice Jayz
office chairs > gaming chairs
This video is 9 months old can we get an update now that the chairs are broken in, thanks
Welcome to the steelcase club. I have the gesture high back at home and bought one for my office as well. Fun fact, they have a coat rack accessory for it too so I can hang my jacket on the back without draping over the seat itself.
Just ordered one. I had been struggling to find a comfortable chair and being of similar size and age, some of your comments made it sound like this would be a great fit for me.
I've had a Steelcase Leap v2 for several years and it's absolutely amazing. Makes all these "gamer" chairs look and feel terrible.
Those "gamer" chairs look and feel terrible just fine on their own. 😋
I bought one of the Leap V2's from one of the big refurb places that reupholstered the seats with double thickness foam. Like half the price custom colors. Great value. Can't go wrong.
No way, literally same as me. I was fed up of having crappy gaming chairs that suck. One of the best things I have brought
As a short guy, I've had the same issue as Phil, so I've been looking into the secretlab chair for smaller people, and I honestly don't care about gamer.stuff as long as it's comfy and will last. Would be interested to see Phil try one of those and see what he thinks.
@@hotstovejer I love my secretlab chair I really do I have the new model with upgraded lumbar and it has helped my back 100%
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
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.
Finally a chair that checks all the boxes! Thank Jay! Just ordered mine using your code. Can’t wait!
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.
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 really love your passion in this, seating is huge and I have been looking for something new for the home office. Everything you looked at in this chair are things I care about and appreciate your breath of reviews you are trying for recently. Yes it is expensive, but it is worth the cost if you're sitting in it all day. I ordered mine after a few weeks of thinking of it and look forward to it. Keep it up and thank you!
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.
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.
Is that a new and updated Phil in that big box?
Edit: never mind it's a chair
I went from a gaming chair to a Steelcase Leap V2 and it is night and day. It's one of those chairs that is absolutely worth the investment.
Haha, I have the same chair lol. Definitely helped my back & spine issues. :)
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.
Perfect timing as I was ready for a new chair - just ordered mine!
Holy crap, Jay! The way you hug the bag of air to try & pop it is literally the EXACT same thing I do with those things to pop them fast & loud!
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....
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...
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 😥
There are companies that refurbish these and sell them used with fresh foam and stuff. Much cheaper. Around $400 if I remember right
I have had the chair at work for 1.5 years and must say: extremely good chair for people with back problems, especially in combination with a height-adjustable desk!
Looks like an awesome chair Jay. For me, I've been very pleased with my Herman-Miller (with a 3rd party headrest). I use my Herman Miller for both work and gaming and so far it has been an excellent choice for me. If my Herman Miller ever wears out I will definitely give this brand a very close look. Great content piece guys! Thank you!
I have the logitech herman miller one since release and I'm truly happy with it. I had a gaming char before that which harmed my back and you are right, you cannot sit differently than proper which is why I bought it. I'm 6'1 on a good day 6 feet on a bad one xD
So you can't slouch/slide down in the Logitech embody? I'm looking to get it or the gesture and I'm not sure which one to get tbh...
@@lofasz3328 you can force it to slide down, but that is than something you do deliberately, people told me to test them out first, I did not do that I took that gamble and it worked out for me, for me it's a great chair, it did not work out for Jay which is okay, everyone has an unique body. ^^
@@ZinoAmare so conflicted on which one to get lol I've heard good and bad about both. I've got like mid back pain from shit posture so I'm not sure which chair would be better for that
@@lofasz3328 Order from Amazon and try one for 29 days, if you don't like it return it. I know Steelcase has a trial period but I think they charge a restocking fee, not sure about Herman Miller. This is if you don't want to use Amazon for either. Hope that helps...
@@lofasz3328 weird CZcams did not say anything you contacted me, Well I hope you do found a chair now to use though :3 I hope your back pain is gone! Well my pain was at my lumbar hope this helps ^^
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.
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.
3:30... pop denied :D
19:40: that smile says more then words
sitting in a good chair makes a world of a difference!
Most of those features are evident in my eight year old Steelcase Leap V2, which is why I still own it. Awesome chairs. Second to none.
would love a chair like that but that chair cost more than my pc lol
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.
Jay did that video last year. A much more affordable 350 USD chair.
@@byronhoward5463 Could you please give a link or a video title?
@@ArgandTabletop The link above my previous comment is the referenced video 🙂
This is not AngryBrownGuy's two cents. That would be a fun channel though.
Amazing. This was the chair I had my eye on and here you are with a review.
I own this chair because at 6'2" and 300lbs, most chairs weren't rated for my weight. Plus it's rated for like 12 hours of use. I spend 10-12 hours on my PC for work. Love this chair!!!
I found that these things are actually rated for 24/7 use in like call centers and such...
@@PastorwithoutaPulpit Meaning they are rated for 12 hours of use without putting strain on your back, not the product...
Phil:"I could sit here for 16 hours"
Nick:"Lets try it!"
Phil:*Me and my big mouth*
*little
He's only 5'2 LoL
He definitly got comfortable, that was one of the longer videos! ;)
Jay: the most important addition to the office.
Me: hmmmm, A fridge!
Jay: a new chair.
Me: well I guess that's good too
A good chair really is the most important peripheral to any pc build and it is so often the most overlooked. Thank you for the video Jay.
Steelcase just sold 200-300 chairs after this passionate video lol LOVE it Jay!
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 ❤️
Daaamn, I've been looking at ergonomic chairs and this one looks so freaking good! I'm basically the same size as Fill so this really sounds like an excellent choice!
Now if the chair was just a $1000.00 less it'd be perfect, it shall be my dream chair. X'D
Wholey Carp! I got one of these (Gesture) two weeks ago. Can confirm it's extremely comfy for (ughumm) large people. I used a Steelcase Leap for the last five years, needed very expensive motorcycle seat base material to be usable. Not the new one! The seat base back-forth control isn't stiff enough to prevent the seat from sliding when you scoot the chair forward or back (on carpet). There should be a lumbar adjustment at this price, too. I LOVE the arm design! Genius.
Thanks a lot, was looking for something like this! Great review as well!
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.
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
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 🤦
