Herman Miller Embody review

The commenter states that the Embody is sturdy and nice, even though it's a mesh chair. However, they note there is no headrest available for the Embody (they should have gotten one), and they needed to adjust their desk and monitor height to accommodate the chair since they're a shortish person. Despite these adjustments, the chair remains comfortable and they haven't felt the need to add a footrest. They mention the lack of lumbar support is a minor issue for them, though they note this is partially because they already have good posture. Overall, they seem satisfied but acknowledge it may not work perfectly for everyone without some setup adjustments.

Pros

  • Sturdy and nice build quality
  • Comfortable for long sitting sessions
  • Works well for proper posture

Cons

  • No headrest available
  • May require desk and monitor height adjustments
  • Lacks strong lumbar support
