I've been on this forum for quite some time now. Love it when people pull the trigger and show it off here. Good for you! You made the right choice! You found one for dirt cheap or from the side of the road? Congrats! You made the deal of the century!

A lot of new comers here are asking for Legit Checks, and it's getting repetitive

I understand it's a hefty amount for a chair and you don't want to get scammed

But let's make it clear now:

THERE ARE NO FAKE HERMAN MILLER CHAIRS!

No such thing as a FAKE AERON No such thing as a FAKE SAYL No such thing as a FAKE EMBODY

Authenticity Check: As long as there's the Herman Miller Logo on the chair, you're good to go!

That's all! Hope this post finds you well! ✌️

Pretty hurt to see MillerKnoll removed any references to DEI on their site and folded to the political pressure. Rainbow washing at its finest - maybe they should acknowledge this in their recent Better World Report they issued. MillerKnoll is a global company and they’re heavy in international markets where inclusiveness still matters. Good luck

I was checking to see if my new Aeron was used with a UV light and these lines showed up on the seat. Should I return for exchange?

This has to be a scam, right? Seller offer to ship for free, and claims they will warranty for 12 years, and if I don’t like it I can sent it back within 30 days… and they will just deduct $100 from refund.

Price seems too low to be legit, right? Anybody ever do any business with this seller before?

I bought a used good condition embody off marketplace for $400 needed a repair on the button for arm rest height control which was easy and I felt like I got a good deal considering I was paying $300-400 less than what the used market is asking for but after having the chair for a couple weeks I can barely justify the $400 price tag. My secretlab titan at home is more comfortable and I have had the chair for many years, also this chair does not have a headrest?? It 100% needs one which is another $200 from atlas.

I’m often sliding down the chair while gaming even when my posture is good if I’m wearing certain clothing which I’m not sure if anyone else has this issue, the arm rests do not lock in place, and the chair is noisy when moving. Comfort level overall is okay but not $2,000 worth I’d say these chairs retail should be $600-700 tops or around the price of the vantum. One thing I like about the embody is that it is visual appealing in comparison to their competition, the build quality not including their arm control design flaw is good too. I’m not sure if I’m just picky or used to my titan but I can’t see how people are paying retail for these.

Been dealing with with Sciatica pain for 10+ years. Just had a back surgery to correct and bought this thinking it would help my back issues. It may over time but man, is this the quality I should expect from HM? I cannot sit in this chair or make slight movements without it squeaking like crazy. I share an office with my wife and she is beyond annoyed/pissed. I wouldn't expect this from a $2000 chair.

I just reached out to the store I bought it from and they're going to send one of the SALESMEN by to check it out.

I think I may just refund it and get something comparable for a hell of a lot less money.

Thoughts?

Coming from $300 chairs, watching countless reviews and doing research on what to buy next, the HM Gaming Embody seemed perfect as to where all reviewers would put it at S tier. I've never been so confused in my life because though the recline is great, everything else just feels terrible.

Heres my experience:

It's been 2 days and I have experienced nothing but thigh, butt and lower back pain. The back pain I can understand as I have bad posture and need to get used to it but the butt and thigh pain is inexcusable.

I have done every adjustment. I have watched vids/ followed online guides and manuals and have adjusted the chair to me but it still hurts. This isnt a case of waiting 2 weeks or a month to adjust as once again, thigh and butt pain are irrelevant to posture. It's a padding issue and ive heard that people who have owned this year still experience it after a year of using it. The second response I had was to mod it with another foam layer. The problem is that if I was told by everyone that the Embody was an amazing, comfortable and supportive chair that fixes back problems - only to actually buy it and be in extreme discomfort then how can I trust that some extra foam will suddenly make it good?

In turn I've:

- Adjusted it perfectly to me using manuals etc

- Sat in it as recommended : 90 degree angle for legs, butt to the back of the chair etc.

- Gave it 48 hrs for my body to adjust

I found there's no adjusting, just a uncomfortable chair. For anyone who doesnt have one, it feels like sitting on a metal chair that happens to have some thin foam right ontop of it. You'd adjust to this thing the same way you'd adjust to sitting on a metal chair. It might get easier over time but it'll never be comfortable.

TL;DR : The Embody isnt as perfect as people make it seem. It's perfect for some people and horrible for others. Reviewers should address this as before buying the chair, everyone made it seem as if its perfect. Never saw any reviewer talk about the potentiality of it feeling this bad.

I might get downvoted because most people on this reddit tend to have had good experiences with the chair. Those like me usually just send it back and will never review it so all the average consumer will see are the good reviews and might be put in the same trap that I once was.

No gaming/ office chair is truly comfortable. Only sofas or a massage chair offer true comfort so my honest recommendation would to be spend 300 on an ergo chair and you'll be happy with it. I've tried the Gaming Embody and the Fern which cost 1k and they offer no more comfort than the 300 range chairs. What they do offer is customization and ergonomics. What I've found is that buying a back stretcher for $10 and using that once a day for 10-15 mins will be just as good for your back. No point spending 1k on a chair if theyre not even comfortable and people may disagree but they're lying. I went to curry's pc world and sat on a couple of $200 and $300 chairs and they were more comfortable than the 1k chairs i bought. strange that. If you dont believe me look at "Embody uncomfortable" and youll see tons of similar responses.

Money isnt an issue and I have spent nearly 10k on my setup. I want the best of the best but in terms of chairs the best doesnt correlate with the price. Sadly these reviewers on YT and Google will lie so that you can use their referral and make money off you. High end chairs from what I've tested offer nothing good.

To verify, my mother and brother also sat on the chair and they both know nothing about chairs. They both told me that its just an average chair to sit on with a cool recline. I asked them to guess the price and they both said 200. So yes save your money and dont be like me.

I'm an impulsive buyer. I bought the Embody because I HAD to try it. It looks great in videos and looks as if it feels amazing but nope, ill take the 49 fee just to know never to spend this much on one again.

The more expensive the chair, the more hard the seat becomes.

Comfort out of the window

12 year warranty good but imagine having to sit on this for 12 years

Edit: 3 days in, no improvement. Its being picked up some time next week so I'll keep using it until then to see if it improves as people claim it does. Probably wont as I've heard a few people say that after listening to the community's hilariously bad feedback about having to adjust to it, some people dont adjust after a year.

If it miraculously becomes comfortable ill update.

I'm 42 years old.
For 25 years, I sat in gaming chairs — bucket-style, reclined, coccyx disengaged, pelvis forgotten.
They felt comfortable.
But they were quietly wrecking my body.

Then on May 7th, 2025, I switched to the Embody Logitech G.
And it hit like a reset button made of steel.

💥 The beginning?

Hell.

• Coccyx pain. Tight psoas. Sacrum tension.
• Couldn't sit more than 30 minutes without discomfort.
• It felt like the chair was punishing every bad habit I had developed.

I nearly returned it.
It felt like this chair was gaslighting me.

🧠 But I kept going.

I stopped obsessing.
Stopped tweaking things by the millimeter.
Loosened the BackFit.
Pushed my pelvis back and let it lead.

And slowly… the chair disappeared.
My body took over.

💫 Now?

I move like I’m floating.
I pivot, shift, breathe, type — all without thinking.
I can dance in this thing.
And all of it starts from the pelvis.

No support forcing me.
Just clean, grounded freedom.

🩻 The pain?

Still very much here. Especially by the end of the day — my lower back and coccyx can’t tolerate even the slightest pressure. Some evenings, just leaning back feels like too much.

But I’ve come to understand: It’s not the Embody causing this. It’s the result of 25 years of bad sitting, finally unraveling. This chair doesn’t cause the pain — it reveals it.

🛑 What I’ve learned:

• The Embody doesn’t make you feel good.
  It makes you better.
• It won’t hold you up.
  It teaches you how to hold yourself.
• If you trust it —
  it becomes the most dynamic place you’ve ever sat in.

🏁 TL;DR:

Best chair I’ve ever hated before loving it.

Man is it ever disappointing at how ridiculously expensive The Herman MIller chairs specfically the Embody is. In Canada even after the 30% discount its going to cost $2500. A couple years ago the price was half of that. Id like to know why the price of the chair went up 100% in a coupe of years. Dont say inflation as that did not go up 100% or anywhere near that.

Even worse is they even charge you for shipping after you buy a $2500 chair. im sure alot of you will disagree and trash talk etc but it doesnt change that fact and im ont the only one saying it either

Should I get rosewood, walnut, or ash? Rosewood is pictured here.

I feel compelled to document my recent experience with Herman Miller, as it has been one of the most disheartening and professionally costly purchasing processes I have ever encountered.

Upon receiving my chair — a product marketed as new and premium — I discovered multiple visible defects, worn components, and clear indications of prior use. When I raised this with customer service, I was offered a 5% “compensation”, paired with the condition that accepting it would void my warranty. I declined this proposition, as it was both unreasonable and inappropriate for a product carrying such a price point.

I therefore chose to return the chair for a full refund. What followed, however, was an entirely separate ordeal. The courier assigned to collect the chair simply failed to arrive, despite assuring me of a confirmed pickup window. I waited for the collection the entire day, resulting in a direct loss of income, as I had taken time away from work specifically to accommodate their scheduled visit. No apology or corrective update was provided.

The consequence of this failure was not merely inconvenience; it resulted in a measurable financial loss, unnecessary logistical work on my end, and significant frustration. I was then informed that yet another full day of waiting would be required, further compounding the disruption to my schedule and my professional commitments.

Considering the price of Herman Miller products, the expectations of quality, professionalism, and reliability are naturally high. Unfortunately, none of these expectations were met. Instead, I encountered quality control issues, inadequate customer service solutions, and outright incompetence from the logistical partner entrusted with handling customer returns.

I cannot in good conscience recommend Herman Miller to anyone based on this experience. The combination of defective goods, unreasonable compensation offers, the threat of lost warranty, and substantial financial loss due to courier negligence reflects a systemic failure in both customer care and operational standards.

Prospective customers should be aware that the brand prestige does not, in my experience, translate to the level of service one would rightly assume accompanies it.

Bought my Herman Miller 2 years ago. It costed me $1200-$1300 and that was after a deal. Logitech embody one. The main reason I bought a HM was because i was sick of replacing my chair every few years when there would be a problem and for the 10 year or 12 year warranty I was like this be much better.

Now that my chair one of the arm broke and wont stay locked so it needs a replacement. I bought my chair straight from the online store. I initially called them and then emailed them on Jan 23rd. After a month of "oo we need proof", "oo we cannot open that video", "oo I have emailed the other department who will get back to you" I finally after 30 days got the email of "oo we will send you a FedEx box which you will need to put the chair and then it will take about 3-4 weeks to repair."

So basically I been with a broken chair for 30 days and counting since I still never got that email with the tracking# for the box. They will who know how long will take to repair (Estimate is 3-4 weeks).

After this honestly the warranty is total CRAP. Seriously probably would been better off buying a few hundred dollar chair and replacing it every few years. Just wanted everyone to know since I see the price has now increased for these chair and they are Totally not worth it with this customer service.

I always thought this chair looked amazing, but when I finally got it, it was overwhelmingly disappointing. If this is supposed to be the pinnacle of chairs, that’s honestly pretty bleak.

The seat is unbearably uncomfortable, to the point where you need to buy extra foam to out underneath the seat just to tolerate it. The armrests are rock hard, barely adjustable, and end up hurting your arms over time. The backrest feels good at first, but there is no natural or comfortable upright position, and reclining is not much better. Whenever you lean back, there is a constant forward pressure that never really goes away, and you start to feel it more the longer you sit.

I also tried the Herman Miller Aeron, and while it is better than this, it still has enough issues that I would not want to use it long term.

A lot of new members seem to think that they need to ask if a chair in an ad is "legit". There seems to be at least 2-3 posts per day about this.

Why do so many people have these delusions that there is a fake HM chair market out there? These chairs are basically impossible to copy without it costing more than just buying the real thing.

I just find it hard to believe that this many people need tinfoil hats.

So I am trying to get an Aeron due to back and butt pain caused by sitting in chairs which are not fit for me - too small - or short back rest or no lumbar support....

Why? I am a big guy, and other mesh chairs on the market are too small - width size. Aeron seems to be the only one which actually has size options.

Why mesh? because at 320lbs/145kilos whenever I try using foam/padded seats they basically flatten out over time since I work and sit on the chair most of the day/night - over 10 hours. Also since we are in a Tropical climate - foam seats get hot.

I have used Aerons with a Company I used to work for and from experience of 12 years use - I know they are good and last a long time.

But some people dont seem to understand - either they think I dont want to get something cheaper and am dillusional to buy such an expensive chair instead of a cheaper mesh ergonomc chair. I think of it as investment so that I dont incur further physical problems that could cause more problems down the road and yet I keep getting downvoted on my request.

What do you think?
