Herman Miller Embody vs HON Ignition 2.0

So while it's high priced, you are getting one of the best made chairs in the industry. The next thing that i like about the embody is going to be the...

This is more of a seat than a true arm chair. Knowing now what it offers I would buy a less expensive chair with similar qualities. I am learning that sometimes you can trust the NY times column "The Wirecutter", where I read the recommendation for this chair and sometimes you've got to do your own research. The materials that went into manufactoring this chair and the design for sitting comfort don't IMO justify the 400 dollar price tag

All are fully serviceable from companies that manufacture their own for at least 20 years. I don't think there is such a thing as a BIFL task chair for under $800 new.

With less wobbly armrests and wheels that roll in style, this thing is smooth silk. You won't have to get used to the seat as it offers great support ...

HOW TO CORRECTLY ADJUST YOUR CHAIR. 1. Set height so that your feet are flat on the floor or foot rest, so that the chair is at your knee height. 2

Now for the negatives, The arms aren't that solid feeling and can shake when applying pressure. I'm 5'8 and this chair surprisingly doesn't go low enough to provide proper ergonomics for my legs. It only needs to go down a couple more inches but it is what it is. My biggest complaint is the "Chair Base"

If visual impact or overall polish are primary concerns, then Herman Miller has the edge. Anyone who knows office chairs will recognize an Embody or Aeron, but the Fern isn't as iconic and doesn't really scream that it's special when you see it in person.

Easy to assemble, 10-15 min tops. They were clearly thoughtful about how to make this as convenient as possible for the customer. Overall, chair looks good (simple design), it's stable, and it's adjustable in the right ways except one: The handles only adjust up and down (not sideways). Comfortable for a 6'3" person

I have to constantly remind myself like it is good for me to sit in a proper position. I really hate the new price point of the embody. These are now ...

You can find it for around your budget of $250 and he'll be MUCH happier with that chair long term than any "gaming" chair or cheap Office Max chair.

I have one screw at the base of the back that can't be screwed in completely. Attaching the back portion is something that two people should do together because it is difficult to hold the back in place while trying to attach the spine to the back and the spine to the seat. Overall, this is an exceptional product and I would highly recommend it to anyone who needs quality support.

First off - assembly was easy! Only had three screws :) Rolling is extremely smooth! Maybe this is just what any new set of wheels feels like and my chair was old, but this is definitely nice to slide around in. The back is pretty nice. When the product describes itself as having "lumbar support" It's hard to describe but I guess it's like a difference between a back that is cushy and gives-in, versus a region that remains firm; as opposed to a lumbar you'd find in a car or recliner that pushes into your back. The seat is really nice and I appreciate this fabric over the "fake leather" stuff my old chair is currently flaking all of the floor

Everybody has reviewed this chair already, so i want to talk about things that nobody else talks about, and the first thing starts with this back. I j...

Never owned products from HON before. Pleasantly surprised with this chair. Comfortable, aesthetically pleasing and sturdy chair. Best for home office uses
