Herman Miller Embody review
The reviewer purchased a Herman Miller Embody at full retail price after extensive research and has mixed feelings after six months of use. While the chair is undeniably well-engineered with innovative pixelated support technology, they find it doesn't live up to the hype for the $1,800+ price tag. The backrest support is unique and does promote good posture, but they find the seat somewhat uncomfortable during very long sitting sessions. The lack of traditional lumbar adjustment is concerning, as the fixed support doesn't hit the right spot on their back. Build quality is excellent, but they question whether the premium over other high-end chairs is justified. They appreciate the aesthetic design but wish the comfort matched the price point.
