Herman Miller Embody review

This commenter views the Embody as a long-term investment rather than focusing on the steep price. They note there are no bigger sales than the current offering, suggesting people look at it from a 15-year perspective since most users probably won't be able to tell the difference between 1 and 10 years of use when the chair is properly maintained. They advise the original poster to evaluate in 15 years whether the money spent was worthwhile. They sat in the Embody briefly and describe it as feeling almost like sitting in a cloud, wishing they could have stayed longer. However, they didn't adjust much during their test — they just set the seat height and experimented with the back support while the sales person explained features.

Pros

  • Feels like sitting in a cloud
  • Long 15-year lifespan justifies investment
  • No bigger sales available

Cons

  • Very steep price
  • Difficult to fully evaluate without extended sitting
