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.

If you're going to spend this much on a chair, I would highly recommend the Steelcase Gesture over any Herman Miller.

Quote from OrangeActivity837 :
My Embody is pretty creaky, can I ask what you used to lube (and where?)?
The most effective is on the rails that allow the seat to expand and contract. The fabric at the front of the seat can be unhooked right underneath at the front. This will give easy access to the rails. I think there is one plastic piece that covers the rails that is held by a single screw. Then just pull the rails out and use a lube of your choice-- I used wd40 silicone lubricant spray. This eliminated the creakiness when I turn back and forth. I found all this on reddit where they include some pictures, but I don't have time to find it right now. You should be able to if you search a bit.

These chairs are all great but not worth the price point for most ppl .. and fire the ceo!
I currently use a HON Pillow-Soft High-Back office chair and it only cost me about $300 on Newegg. While not as fancy as a Herman Miller gaming chair it is Made in America and feels pretty sturdy. After two years the seat cushion is still holding up. You don't need to spend 1K to get a quality office chair.

Those chairs are junk. All those similar looking chairs on Amazon and gaming sites come from the same 1-2 manufacturing sites in China and are super cheap to make with huge markups. The gamers push them because they get paid for affiliate marketing. Same with the websites that claim they are doing reviews. It's all a side hustle scam.

ehhhh while I agree the spend a LOT on influencers, they do their own R&D and I think they tend to be copied more then them borrowing from others. I owned one and it was too firm, so I sold it, but it was fantastic build quality.

I still am on their email lists and like the amount of licensed designs they come out with, but the price has shot up so much in the past few years you are 3/4 of the way to a HM chair with less than half the warranty.

Really give them credit for the slip covers too, pleather on any chair will eventually flake, I have gotten rid of chairs for that, and that allows someone to extend the life of the chair with what appears to be a very well fitting cover.

The Embody is an overhyped chair IMO. I had it for a couple months and returned it due to how uncomfortable the thing was to sit on.
Based on the many reviews online, it seems as though your body has to configure to the chair in order for you to get the benefits overtime.

For the amount of $$ this chair costs, I believe it should be the other way around. So I sent it back and I need up with a MUCH better choice which is the Haworth Fern. Game changer!

WOW... I just learned about the CEO.

Didn't they just make a killing selling tons of chairs from WFH? Now they pull that shit?

F that Bitch.

Quote from twoweeled :
The CEO is a woman. Nothing will happen to her, unless she's caught on video butchering people, and even then it's iffy. I've heard little to nothing about this in the main media. They don't want to touch it. Just truth telling.
EXACTLY. Truth right here. Woman CEO, won't be hearing about this story on left leaning sites like reddit.

Is this affordable, or should I still contact my local dealer?
