Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman review

A comparison video and discussion of the Eames Lounge Chair's standard versus tall versions, with users debating which size fits best based on height. Several users report the tall version's deeper seat causes back problems, while others appreciate the extra headrest support.

Pros

  • Tall version provides better headrest for some users
  • Standard version works well for people 5'10" and under
  • Iconic modern furniture design

Cons

  • Tall version's deeper seat pan caused back pain for some users
  • Video lacks model height reference making comparison unclear
  • Tall version headrest still insufficient for very tall users over 6'2"
  • Price has increased significantly beyond inflation rates
