Best praise vs top criticism for Herman Miller Embody
“95% of people posting here just talk about how they found/buy a hm embody for free or for 200 bucks. When somebody ask about any type of ergonomic/office chair, they would either recommend a second hand hm or steelcase not knowing that not all live in the us where you can find those in marketplace. Also, most of the time when someone ask about any other brand of chair outside of those two, their post doesnt even get a response or views. You as a moderator should know that. This subreddit should be calle used/second hand herman miller, not office chairs.”
“You made this post for the extended warranty didn't you ? I fucking hate Secret Labs and their awful marketing....... I had one and it nearly ruined my lower back. Wen't and bought a Herman Miller Embody and never looked back”
