Just managed to try out the Steelcase Leap in Penang Island and I bought it with the headrest option. It is super comfortable and the support from the chair is great. It is like the chair is "hugging" you. And at my height of ~174cm, the headrest was just nice to support my neck.
As for the Gesture, I'm not sure how to put it, but it just feels more comfortable sitting in the leap.
Anyway, no chance to try any HM chair in Penang afaik.

And I got to know as well that Intel Penang did supply their WFM employees previously with the Steelcase Series 2 and for employees with back issue, the Leap.

Now, waiting for payment and delivery. lolx

I got it for RM3.8K, reasonable? I will try that when I receive it. generally I do like some good lumbar supporr.

Ebibca. I search the net and there is only one vendor for steelcase in penang island.
Are you from Penang Island? if you want, I can PM you the namecard.

Actually good chairs that we are able try out are hard to find in Penang.

Great to know. Hope mine will last me long long. lolx

A small update on my purchase of the leap chair. I received the chair and the back rest was slightly slanted towards to the right. This resulted in my body wanting to slide towards the right side when I lean back.

I requested the seller to exchange the chair which they promptly did 2 days later. I received the chair and I checked the back rest on the spot. And it is still having the same issue.
Therefore I rejected the chair again and the seller said he will check all the stock that was in his warehouse to see if there is a chair that will meet my expectation.

Then several days past and he contacted me to go to his warehouse to test out 15 chairs there. There was one that was more or less meeting my expectation. But he told me that the slanted back rest could be the result of this particular batch and if I could wait for about 1 month, there will be a new batch coming in.

So here I am, waiting for the next batch. But kudos to the seller for supporting my request to get a chair that meets my expectations.
