Embody Chair by Herman Miller - Home Office Desk Task Chair with Adjustable Arms - White Frame Titanium Base Upgraded Mango Balance Fabric Embody Mango Balance CN222AWAAXT91BB3503 Review by randombuyer
I recently bought Herman Miller Embody chair and all I can say is it's a HUGE disappointment. For a $1500 chair I definitely expected more, maybe my mistake. The chair is fully adjustable so that is as advertised. It is however unbelievably ugly (you can kind of see it in the picture) but it looks even worse in person. That be as it may. But the worst thing about it is the upholstery - it plain sucks. After paying extra $200 for the premium material, I am more than disappointed. The seat is not comfortable, it's too hard - any simple leather chair will be more comfortable. If you ever put bare skin against it - like wearing shorts for example - it is downright irritating. I cannot believe I spend that amount of money on a chair, and now I am shopping for a seat cover so I can make it usable. It just feels like a huge rip-off
Embody Chair by Herman Miller - Home Office Desk Task Chair with Adjustable Arms - White Frame Titanium Base Upgraded Mango Balance Fabric Embody Mango Balance CN222AWAAXT91BB3503 Review by A. Rukhin "arukhin" (Fredericksburg, VA)
...all I can say is that my buying this chair was an excellent move.
I can summarise this review as follows: I spend hours upon hours at my desk (programming, surfing, goofing off, what have you) and I **never** feel "the need to get up and stretch" nor a hint of muscle fatigue from sitting for extended periods of time. This chair is surreal --- at first I was sure that the chair was "comfortable enough" (... but perhaps not worth the price?). However, its value is revealed over extended hours of use: the fact that I can sit and work without feeling "antsy" or any need to shift around is great. This chair supports (and yields) in all the right places.
If your day consists of working at your desk for many hours, then this chair is a worthwhile personal investment (like, for example, a quality mattress). It's a one-time purchase one should consider seriously. You must try it in person (visit a local merchant to try it); however, an in-store experience cannot convey the long-term value of this product. I took a "leap of faith" and picked it up (based on reviews of the chair detailing its value over extended use). I am here to recommend taking a similar leap.
Embody Chair by Herman Miller - Home Office Desk Task Chair with Adjustable Arms - White Frame Titanium Base Upgraded Mango Balance Fabric Embody Mango Balance CN222AWAAXT91BB3503 Review by Jason (NY)
Like one of the other reviews has stated, I too really wanted to like this chair, and I would much rather enjoy using it, than have to lose $300 to send this chair back to the company that I purchase it from--(I have to pay for shipping both ways, plus a 10% restocking fee) and then I have to begin the process of looking for another office chair that does not actually cause me physical discomfort and pain to use.
To begin this review, I want to state that I have never in my life experienced any sort of back injury, and I never experience back pain in general. I am a healthy person in my 20's, my body frame is 6 feet tall and weighs 160 lbs, and I wear a size 38 suit jacket. I am a graduate student that spends each day sitting reading and researching online, and I really need a proper ergonomic chair to do that in.
I also want to mention, that unlike some people who probably purchase this chair without trying it out first at a Herman Miller retailer, I actually did make two different trips out of my way to a Herman retailer to test this chair out, before decided to purchase it.
Having stated all of that, I will explicate some of the reasons for which I rate this chair 2 stars out of 5 stars.
The chair caused me discomfort and pain:
Ultimately, the single chief reason for which I am choosing to return this chair is that I cannot sit in it for extended periods of time, without experiencing pain and/or flaring in my back.
Aside from that pain, the chief reason for which I simply cannot use this chair for extended periods of time, is that it is extremely hard to find a sitting position on this chair that is not actually uncomfortable--the way in which the lower and middle portions of this chair are designed obfuscates me--those portions of the chair's letter "H" shaped components are unable to be adjusted, which is very significant, due to the fact that the lower and middle portions of the back of this chair can really cause a lot of discomfort and even pain.
Problems using the setting for this chair:
What is probably the most greatly annoying part of using this chair, is the fact that it is so hard to find a single setting that works, and that once one finds a setting that works, it changes and then changes again--and there are no memory settings, so each time one tries to revert back to a previous setting that actually worked, one has to go through trial and error steps that are time consuming and frustrating.
The back portion of the chair:
The lower back portion of this chair is not adjustable, and it really does press into my back as though it were an elbow. Of course there are ways to adjust the back of the chair so that such an experience can be altered, but when I make such adjustments, the chair is not improved, but only remains equally, if not more uncomfortable in different ways.
An example of how discernable the lack of comfort in this chair is, occurred when I had one of my family members who has spent lots of time searching for a proper office chair, sit in my Embody chair, and that person noticed within seconds that the chair was not very comfortable.
Why didn't I discover these aspects of the chair when I tried it in the store?:
You might be wondering, how is it that I did not discover such uncomfortable qualities to this chair when I tried it out in the store. That question leads me to my biggest piece of advice to anyone considering purchasing this chair: It is imperative that you try this chair out for very extended periods of time before deciding to make this your new chair--that is of course, unless you don't mind spending between $1200 and $1650 for a chair that might not be useable--as for myself, I am lucky enough to be able to return this item, but it is going to cost me $300 to do so. It takes time to really discover the potential that this chair has for discomfort as well as comfort, so don't expect to really know what this chair is all about from a perfunctory trial of it.
Amount of time that I used this chair:
Since purchasing this chair I have sat in it for up to 10 and 12 hours a day, totaling well over 150 hours, and unfortunately I have concluded that I simply cannot be an owner of a Herman Miller Embody chair.
Some of the positive qualities of the chair:
Having stated all of that, I will in fairness explain in my estimation what some of the positive qualities of this chair are.
Craftsmanship:
The chair is clearly crafted well and manufactured well, with goods quality parts and fabric--the chair is 65 pounds and it feels solid. Furthermore, the casters that come standard with the chair work very well--they roll well and quietly. The arm pads of the chair work well, but I wish that they actually went a little higher than they do--I found my posture being adversely affected by having to rest my arms too low, and for a chair that seeks to be a "one size fits all ergonomic chair" I think it is an oversight to not make the arm pads go higher for people that are taller and have longer arms. Another positive quality about the chair is that it reclines really well; with this chair, one is able to really get a full recline, and remain in that position for as long as one feels comfortable.
Aesthetic:
The chair has an exceptional aesthetic as well. Although, if you do decide to purchase this chair I highly recommend the Black on Black color--I was one of the many people who planned to buy one of the bright white chairs, but another review stated that they regretted buying the white chair, as its brightness served to overwhelm the spaces in which they used it. I ultimately concurred with their recommendation and was glad that I decided to buy the black chair.
Before purchasing this chair I looked at every YouTube review video of the Embody chair that I could, to see what they were saying, and it really does seem as though the main reason that is given for purchasing this chair is that it ostensibly has such a novel and beautiful aesthetic to it--which may be true, but in my estimation it is not a good enough reason to spend between $1200 - $1650 on a chair that ultimately might have to be returned.
Conclusion:
I am disappointed that I will be sending this chair back to the company that I purchased it from. This chair is not your ordinary office chair--it is unique in its objective to mimic the human spine--consequently, this chair really should be experienced (for very extended periods of time) before being purchased. This is a very heavy chair (65 pounds) to be returning, and that combined with the cost of returning it, is why it is not in one's best interest to purchase this chair unless one plans to keep it.
Here is something interesting to keep in mind: At Herman Miller, the employees are allowed to use whatever Herman Miller chair they choose. Yet, on the several (three) different occasions that I called Herman Miller, I learned that there are plenty of employees that choose to use chairs other than the Embody chair. The main reason that I decided to purchase the Embody chair over the Aeron chair, is because of the fact that the Embody chair incorporated all of the research, development and money that went into designing the Aeron chair, and the Embody chair had even more of the research, development and money put into designing it. I therefore concluded that the Embody chair would surely be better than the Aeron chair. Well when ones holds the aforesaid idea in mind it is very curious that there are plenty of Herman Miller employees that choose not to use the Embody chair. Furthermore, it is also interesting that there are not more positive reviews of the Embody chair than the paltry handful of reviews that are on Amazon. If the Embody chair is Herman Miller's new flagship chair, than why after almost three years of being produced, have there not been more positive reviews of the chair on Amazon?
I do not doubt that this chair can be a phenomenal chair for some, if not many people. I can however, only offer my own perspective and experience with this chair. Just around each time that I thought I was finally getting to like this chair, I would then being experiencing new forms of discomfort and/or pain from using it.
Message to Herman and Miller:
If any of the designers from the research and development teams from Herman Miller read this review, I want to give you some summarized recommendations:
1. Please try to fix the harshness of the lower lumbar portion of this chair, or at least design the chair so that the letter "H" portion of the lower lumbar area of the chair can be adjusted.
2. Please offer some sort of memory settings for the chair, so that it might be easier to go between settings without having to use trial and error, and lots of guess work for finding a comfortable chair setting.
3. Please consider making the arm pads go a little higher for taller people.
4. Please consider making this chair more comfortable to sit in--and by comfortable, I mean that it might be prudent to put more cushioning on this chair, which may not be as aesthetically pleasing as the current Embody chair model, but which could ultimately yield a much more inviting and rewarding sitting experience for Embody chair users--it really seems as though function in the Embody chair was compromised for the sake of the chair's novel, modern, futuristic aesthetic.
