Herman Miller Embody review

The user initially thought the Embody was great after buying it, but over time developed a strong dislike for it. Their primary complaint is that they find it extremely uncomfortable for the high price paid. They describe it as having virtually no cushioning, feeling like they're sitting on plywood. They express buyer's remorse and frustration at having spent so much money on something they ultimately hate. They found it comfortable initially but the experience degraded significantly over time.

Pros

  • Initially seemed comfortable

Cons

  • Extremely uncomfortable long-term
  • No cushioning
  • Feels like sitting on plywood
  • Very expensive for the comfort level
