Steelcase are having a 25% off the Gesture range and 20% off storewide using code: PACIFIC20

They've started offering a "Knocked down" package so the delivery fee is waived. I'd recommend this option to save some money as the chair is not too difficult to assemble. It's just got a heavy piece you have to align on the base so you'll be fine with someone helping.

Fully assembled delivery is about $54.

    Go try them out at your local dealer first. I've tried Steelcase chairs and they just simply didn't suit me, made my back hurt within the hour that I was trying them, don't just buy blindly!

      I have a Steelcase I got free from work during COVID. Nice enough chair but at this price a Hermann Miller is close to attainable. Tried them at work and oh my god they’re comfortable. A different league altogether.

        We have Aerons at work and while the build is great, I don't find them all that comfortable. Apart from the forward tilt, I mostly prefer my ergohuman at home.

          this is a case of why everyone is different; i had the ergohumans gen 1 v2 (the ones always posted on ozb) and i hated them.

      • DanielP2 on 22/07/2024 - 19:54

        I got the Embody last year during the Living Edge black friday sale. Was a bit more than this, but holy shit, it really is a great chair. As long as i get a good 10-15 years out of it i wont feel too ripped off :)

        My old Ergohuman chair lasted me a good 8 years before i passed it on to my wife who is still using it, so i dont see why i wouldnt get a good amount of use from the Herman Miller.

        • kiwizz on 22/07/2024 - 20:48

          Same. They have since increased them to $3100 though!

    • Axelstrife on 22/07/2024 - 18:49

      Unless you can test chairs for a full day, sitting in it for a few minutes to "try it" is quite useless.

      • Tbargain12 on 22/07/2024 - 19:34

        Few minutes sure, but I'd suggest trying it for close to an hour minimum. Unless you have absolutely no idea what fits and feels comfortable, I'd say you can get a good enough idea from about an hour of trying.

        To give you an example I went to Steelcase dealer first, sat in the Leap v2 and Gesture about an hour all together, neither of them felt quite right from the beginning. I definitely sat long enough to know for sure, and I didn't like a lot of the features.

        I went to Haworth next, tried Fern and Zody, they weren't bad, pretty neutral feeling, but the build quality seems a bit less than Steelcase.

        Last went to HM, with the expectation that the Aeron was going to be overrated after reading a whole bunch of online reviews and youtube videos, however soon as I sat on it, I felt like the chair supported me well immediately. Ended up getting it despite the price over the others.

        I'm glad I went out to try it, happy with my choice.

        • Axelstrife on 22/07/2024 - 20:27

          Im mostly talking about sitting 8+ hours.
          I had bought a secret lab titan and initially it felt great but after a few hours it was the most uncomfortable chair ive ever used in comparison to other gaming type chairs.

          Currently i own a steelcase leap V2 (took a risk and bought used) first impressions was it was a bit meh, after 8 hours i was still comfortable and still to this day its amazing though i do miss a headrest sometimes but not as much as i though i would.

          Still tempted to buy a aeron though that thing looks insanely comfortable but that price tag haha.

          • Tbargain12 on 22/07/2024 - 20:44

            @Axelstrife: Yeah I use mine way more than 8+ hours tbh, which is not a good thing in itself, but I have no problem with it, I can justify the cost with warranty coverage + how much I use it for.

            Yeah we've all been there before, I got sick of going through cheaper chairs before we land on the right one!

      • Horacio on 22/07/2024 - 20:54

        I get what you mean but I don't agree that it's pointless, because when I tried this and several other high end chairs I found even after a few minutes that the adjustability and features suited me better on a more affordable one that I had initially tried.. Went back and got that model and saved myself a large sum. Have been comfortable ever since.

        • Axelstrife on 22/07/2024 - 21:14

          "I found even after a few minutes that the adjustability and features suited me better"

          True, i guess i was only looking at this from a "i already know what features i want" perspective with comfort being the only unknown.

      Yep, definitely recommend trying any high end chair in person before buying them if possible.

      I was initially going for herman miller aeron/embody but I found all their models didn't suit me. Within 2mins of trying a steelcase Gesture/Leap, I knew it was for me

    Thought I saw $172.

    • snickerz on 22/07/2024 - 18:53

      Hopefully before you ordered

  • mini2 on 22/07/2024 - 18:28

    When did they jacked up the prices?

      COVID-ish. I'm sure the pandemic and WFH didn't help. Bought mine in 2017 for $700 (including shipping). Different times…

      • zorodluffy on 22/07/2024 - 19:34

        got my herman miller equa 2nd hand for $25 pre covid, now people want $250 2nd hand for it lmao.

    Purchased a demo version of this chair on facebook marketplace for $700, this costs too much full price.

  • jaygee on 22/07/2024 - 20:44

    $1700 is a ripoff, these sold for under $1000 - prices havent increased that much. I'd rather get a Haworth Fern chair for $1000, just ask Haworth for arms for $200.

  • ozchobie on 22/07/2024 - 21:06

    Tried fern and gesture with headrest. I preferred the gesture and didnt originally care for the headrest but it changed my mind, the headrest was too good. The zody is a good one too.
