Everybody is different in dimensions and preference. You have to go try them. Sorry it's not the answer you want, but it's the reality. You can go read a million reviews and then think it sucks or you might find one with worse reviews that works for you better. I've had both happen, so I won't make a recommendation other than to say, go visit the local dealer and spend 30 minutes in each chair, then pick.
I know the Gesture is widely loved, but I returned mine for an Embody. IMO, Gesture build quality does not feel like a $1K chair — and the arm rests do not lock. So, every time I sat in the chair, I had to readjust the arm rests. Drove me crazy. Definitely a YMMV type of thing, as most people may not notice or care.
It's very difficult to move the arms accidentally. No idea what you're on about.

Please stop posting these "deals" on Steelcase chairs. I just saw an ad yesterday from a local office furniture supply warehouse that was selling this exact chair for $200 with free delivery.

Just Google "office furniture surplus" in maps and start calling around, you can get almost any model Steelcase/Herman Miller/whatever chair for $150-300

I've been buying and selling these things for decades and I have two leap chairs personally that I bought for $25 each from a school surplus. Put new shocks in them for 20 mins of my time and another $50 total and the chairs are used like new condition.

So what is the reason for there to be such a robust market of used steelcase chairs - do people / companies just not replace the hydraulic cylinder when it goes bad and offload the entire chair instead? Or more due to businesses going bankrupt that happen to have a fleet of steelcase chairs that are duly liquidated? Just trying to understand the market, thanks.

I like the feel of the chair. The wheels are really fast. The lumbar support with these chairs are worth the money

I know these are awesome chairs. I have one myself, but I'm sure if you look around, you can find them used from an office or school for much, much less. I bought mine in 2019 for $150 from a company that's buys up full offices, and he had about 100 of them at that time.

I sit anywhere from 8 to 14 hours a day, because I work and game at my desk. I love the Embody, and I can't recommend it enough. If you have access to a Herman Miller showroom, it's definitely worth a trip to test it out.

You definitelt need to game less then

How are you liking the Embody? Any complaints? I almost bought an Embody when they were on sale for $1,400 but hesitated too long and now they're back up near $2k.

I guess you have to look at this brand of office chairs as pay once cry once.
