Herman Miller Embody review
The commenter believes the Embody is slightly more forgiving than other chairs and describes it as having less of a three-dimensional mid-back curve, with a more laid-back feel that leans towards back recline. They think it's less upright compared to other office chairs. However, they note there are benefits to this design approach in terms of how it supports the body. They contrast it with more aggressive lumbar support chairs, suggesting the Embody takes a different, less aggressive approach to back support. They also mention the armrests themselves aren't perfect but are pretty great, though not quite reaching 100% perfection.
Pros
- More forgiving design
- Good recline feel
- Armrests are pretty great overall
Cons
- Less three-dimensional mid-back curve
- More laid-back, less upright than other chairs
- Armrests not quite 100% perfect
