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.

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!
In my area (SF Bay) I check out marketplace for offices that are liquidating due to WFH or going under.

None of those chairs are "gaming"! They are simply comfy task work chairs, if tou sit upright for 8-10hrs, those are great ... For gaming? None of these are good... If for gaming, SecretLab Evo 2022 or Kaiser 3 by Anda Set... Those are the top gaming chairs...
Honest question: what's the difference between sitting at a desk for task work and gaming? They're pretty similar for me.

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.
Ya, I had an Aeron and I hated it. I did not understand the hype... it was less comfortable than a $200 costco chair and way more. So, I sold that and went to a showroom and tried a bunch of chairs. The Embody was awesome. I've had it for about 10 years now and it completely got rid of my back pain. I also borrowed a Steelcase Think from work for about 6 months, and that was almost as comfortable as the Embody.

I have embody at work and I still cannot see how it cost that much. It's comfortable, but I still get back pain after an hour or two.

If you live in any city then on craigslist theres warehouses filled with $1000 office chairs barely used from offices being closed.

I pay $200 for $1000 steelcase thinks because i like them.. but every chair is available and you can sit on them and actually check them out. I do not understand paying full price on office chairs when someone else took the hit on depreciation

I have the regular embody and 4 years in the back of mine makes a cracking sound. It's still comfortable enough though. I think they are overhyped and overpriced. But there are dumber ways to waste money. Like a $1600 video card

Comparing a HM chair to a farking PoS exec chair... what a disgrace. HM chairs are a godsend! personally, I love the Mirra. The chairs you only learn to appreciate them after sitting in them for 8 hours for a few weeks.
I do want to add that the Areon chair is what made HM famous some people will buy nothing else. Like I mentioned I love the Mirra used it for about 10 years now still going strong. I guess I should add that I was a chair snob for a lot of years. Searching for a good chair I easily spent a few thousand dollars till I found HM Chairs. I also own a Steelcase Leap ... its a fine chair but it's not a HM.

Years ago I got the Ergo Elite Chair with Headrest ME22ERGLT for 1/2 the price of today. All mesh and still looks like new after years of use. Has a lifetime warranty. Maybe the best part of my PC setup.

Never had to use the warranty. In today's world not sure if that is really a thing now.

all the people mentioning the CEO stuff can't afford this chair anyway loll I'm dead
Roll What a moronic statement. I've absolutely been watching HM for over 6 months and had them bookmarked until that trashy bitch said what she did. Now they can fcuk right off. I'll buy something else. Some people have morals and ethic and stand by them, too bad you don't.

Exactly. F this company and those ceos who care less about their employees and just bark orders instead of being a team player. She should be the one terminated for not hitting goals and yet she gets millions.
