I've used quite a few office chairs over the years - mostly in the $200-$300 range, and before I decided to buy the Embody, I went to the Design In Reach store to try it out. I'm 6'6", so making sure I could actually fit in the thing was essential. I tried out the Embody and the Aaron and a few others.

It is legitimately a high-quality chair. I've had mine for three years now and it's absolutely solid. By this time with other chairs I'm generally starting to shop around again due to discomfort, or pieces falling off, or the hydraulics not working as well, or squeaks and creaks.

When it arrived there was no need to put it together. It just rolled out of the box fully assembled. The arm rests and back still adjust as smoothly as the day it arrived. No squeaks or creaks. And that warranty is hard to beat.

I'm not one to chase brands, by a long shot. But HM absolutely nailed it with this chair (imo).
