Herman Miller Embody review
A shorter user (5'3") shares their perspective on the Embody, noting that it works reasonably well for their smaller frame but isn't perfect. The depth adjustment helps but the seat still feels a bit long even at the shallowest setting, causing some pressure behind their knees during long sessions. The back support works well for their shorter torso, and they appreciate that the chair doesn't overwhelm their smaller body like some larger executive chairs do. They use a footrest to compensate for the height, which helps significantly. Overall, they're satisfied but wish Herman Miller made a specific petite version. They rate it as a good option for shorter people with some caveats.
