Overpriced - Yes. I bought my Embody on sale directly from Herman Miller for 1k with all the extras. This was in 2016, I get inflation but the new price is beyond inflation. The same chair I purchased in 2016 for $1050 is now $2020.

Over-hyped - I still don't think so. Due to life happening, at a young age I've always had lower back pain. Sitting down in an office chair never helped either. I researched Embody and decided to pull the trigger on it seven years ago. After adjusting I've never felt back pain sitting down, at least not in this chair. I used to work at an office and sat in multiple chairs depending which office/conference room I was visiting and every chair made my back eventually hurt. A lot of these chairs were very expensive as well. Plenty of online reviews comparing chairs, mostly all reviewers agree Embody chair is great.

I work from home now, and the only thing I would like to have on my Embody is a headrest. Luckily "Atlas Headrests" have made a headrest for it. I'm just waiting for mine to eventually ship.

Would I buy an Embody again? Yes. Would I wait for a bigger sale before buying one? Maybe

Herman Miller isn't the only bad guy here when it comes to over inflating cost, Steel Case has done the very same thing. The Haworth Fern does seem like an interesting option.

Cancelled bonuses for staff this year and told them to stop crying and self-pitying and start thinking about the $26 million they can earn for the company. You couldn't make this stuff up even if you tried.

Oh, and she raked in about $3M in bonus the last fiscal year.

Quote from d504 :
overpriced/ over-hyped, had an Aeron and was not impressed at all the fabric was itchy, lumbar support mediocre, the marketing hype machine is akin to Dyson or Apple products but the lemmings will follow
I'm sorta with you. I got an Aeron last year for a really good deal and it's kinda just a chair. Which is a real bummer. The mesh isn't soft or forgiving at all. Lumbar "support" is two thin pieces of plastic with a 2mm foam backing. Of the two, neither has vertical adjustment and the horizontal is weird. All in, I'm really disappointed for almost $1500.

Most definitely over hyped! Don't believe ANYONE saying it's worth 1800, or even 1200!

Bought it back in 2017 for $550. Barely worth that price.

Herd mentality NEVER stope surprising me.

It's not even the best. Think about how varied we are as humans, body to body. A single model cannot be universally acclaimed for comfort... Certainly NOT a chair design to contour. Design for Lounging is something different and can be more inclined to universal appeal.

If it satisfies you because your brain won't nag you any more wondering about it, that is fine and we've all been there. However, do not say it's not over hyped! Hog wash!

Try before you buy. Everytime I get up and open the door it shocks the living piss out of me (it will even turn off my monitor if i try to adjust it)....and I have hardwood flooring...RIP to anyone that uses this on carpet

Try it before you buy it. It's a great chair but not for everyone. This price isn't bad, I bought mine in 2020 for around this price, many local dealers would only sell for msrp, which is a way overpriced.

Nobody pays full price for any office equipment - like car dealerships, when you shop from a reseller or office distributor, that's where you get a real deal on the exact same furniture!
