What are those scratches they appear just on one side i dont what to do ? Warranty or something like that or damage it is? The chair is brand new and I didnot hit it or anything like that. Are they by a manufacture or what can it actually be if the chair is brand new.

Got it second hand, used for a week only. Paid 50% of the original price. With 11 years warranty left (it transfers here, approved alread) so I'm pretty pleased. This sub helped ne choose it! Thanks all. Excited to go to work tommorow hehe

Aeron size B for a 6”1 male, there’s damage to the clamshell cover but functionally is ok. Is this worth picking up for $450 AUD ($315 USD)

Thanks !!

Got this from ebay. Chairmaneast.
Brand new aeron remastered for 975 with free Atlas headrest. The headrest mismatch though, but i’m still satisfied with this purchase.

Chair is a lot heavier than I thought.

I'm 5'6, 120lbs F. I recently posted here about getting my Gaming Embody (see thread if you wish). Update after 1 week: The usual lower back pain I used to experience is entirely gone, the chair is amazingly comfortable except for 1 section: my sacrum. After sitting in the chair for at least 6 hours a day every day since getting it, each day I have been experiencing more and more prominent pressure around my tailbone/sacrum area.

Now a few things:

1. The chair is properly adjusted to my back curve, like I said, it fits like a glove and virtually gets rid of all my previous issues.
2. Tilt tension is adjusted so that if I wish to recline I kinda "float", but that seems to make the sacral area even more on fire, so I haven't really done it much.
3. The pressure is alleviated somewhat if I don't push my glutes all the way back into the area where seat and backrest meet, but I feel that defeats the purpose of why I got this chair in the first place. I can also alleviate it by putting a blanket over the chair, but again.. I'd rather not perform all kinds of workarounds if it's not meant to be

Now... I have one more week to test the chair further but it seems it's getting worse day by day. I really want to make this chair work as it virtually solves every issue I had with my old chair. I feel as if I require more padding in the area (I'm 120lbs and quite boney in that area). For the record, I feel the sacrum area even when the back is at its flattest setting, so I don't think adjusting lumbar would help in any way at this point.

Is there anyone who had the same issue? Did you send the chair back or make it work? Any advice is much appreciated! My old chair was very cushy in that particular area, so I'm wondering if it's just something you must get used to?

Thanks in advance! :)

A brand new Embody arrived from the dealer today! (I live in Poland, no official HM here)

2 things that worry me: (see pics for reference)

Backfit/pixel issue - one of the lower left elements wasn’t properly clipped in and the surrounding structure looks deformed because of it.

Seat/backrest fitment - on both sides, the plastic parts where the seat meets the backrest don’t seem to sit flush. There’s what looks like excess fabric/material between them, leaving a pretty sharp protruding edge. It also gets in the way when reaching for the Backfit adjustment.

Anyone had either of these on a new Embody? Normal, fixable, or replacement territory?

Cheers

Bought refurbished in 2018 for 650$

Wanted new fabric due to wear, and to try the new seat with foam. Found a complete 2024 new-in-box seat replacement for 220$ locally, just finished replacing it.

Took about 1.5 hours, that included rigorous cleaning as the thing was dusty and grimy.

As an IT-guy, this chair has probably been the best investment i've done in my life!

Based on these pictures, do you think this chair is authentic? Are there ways to ensure the product is 100% authentic?

I stumbled upon this chair on a marketplace, advertising as brand new, and selling for $1200. A couple things that threw me off:

• Chinese writing on handtag
• Headrest (Google said HM doesn't produce headrests...)

I live in eastern Europe and have been searching for this chair for a while now. Buying directly from the US is very expensive due to import taxes.

Thanks for your help!

My chair snapped and now i cannot sit in it as it leans forward and doesn’t look connect to back, any tips on fixing this.

I found this used Herman Miller Embody with headrest for €800,-. Seller claims the headrest is a "Herman Miller headrest" but I'm pretty sure that doesn't exist? Is this a good deal?
