Herman Miller Embody review
The original poster tested the Embody and found it seemed much better than the Aeron initially, but still had issues with the upper back feeling narrow around their shoulders. They tried two different ways of configuring the seat-to-arms setup but the seat felt too high and their body positioning felt weird. Despite these being supposedly top-tier chairs, they couldn't get comfortable and are questioning whether they're being too picky or if their body is built oddly.
Pros
- Better than the Aeron overall
Cons
- Upper back feels narrow around shoulders
- Seat felt too high
- Body positioning felt weird despite adjustments
