Herman Miller Embody review

This reviewer tried out the Embody and did not understand the hype around it. The back felt like cheap plastic that pokes into you. The seat also felt rock hard and caused tailbone pain. It seemed like an extremely uncomfortable chair overall. In contrast, they went with an Anthros chair which turned out to be the most comfortable chair they've ever sat in, providing a much better experience.

Cons

  • Back feels like cheap plastic that pokes you
  • Seat is rock hard
  • Causes tailbone pain
  • Extremely uncomfortable overall
  • Does not live up to the hype
