Herman Miller Embody review

After three years of ownership, this long-term user continues to be impressed with the chair's durability and performance. They use it daily for software development and occasional gaming. The chair shows minimal wear despite heavy use, with all adjustments still working smoothly and the back support maintaining its properties. They had lower back issues from previous seating and the Embody has kept them pain-free for the entire three years. They mention that around year two they deep-cleaned the fabric which restored its appearance to nearly new condition. The investment has paid off in their view, calculating the cost per day of use makes it very reasonable for the health benefits and quality.

Pros

  • Excellent 3-year durability
  • Minimal wear despite heavy use
  • Adjustments still work smoothly
  • Maintained back support properties
  • Kept user pain-free for 3 years
  • Fabric cleans well
