Herman Miller Embody review

The reviewer has used the chair for seven months and finds it excellent overall, but notes that it took a full month to properly adjust all the settings to their body. They emphasize that the chair requires patience and fine-tuning to get the most out of it - it's not a plug-and-play solution. They spent time adjusting the back support, seat depth, and tilt settings over several weeks before finding their ideal configuration. Once properly adjusted, they report significant improvements in comfort and reduction in end-of-day fatigue. They recommend that new buyers be prepared to invest time in learning all the adjustments and not give up if it doesn't feel perfect immediately.

Pros

  • Excellent when properly adjusted
  • Reduces end-of-day fatigue
  • Highly customizable

Cons

  • Requires one month to adjust properly
  • Not plug-and-play
  • Steep learning curve for adjustments
