Herman Miller Embody open box: your questions
Is this Embody new or refurbished?
New. Herman Miller made it in 2026, and its tags are still attached. Our refurbished Embody is a separate listing: a pre-owned chair we renew with new fabric and wear parts.
Will the Embody fit me?
The range is roughly 5'2" to 6'4" tall and up to 300 lbs. There is only one size, so the seat height and arm settings above are how you fit it to your body.
What is Black Rhythm fabric?
Rhythm is a solid-color, 100% polyester fabric, here in black. It is a different fabric from Sync and Medley, the two Herman Miller lists for the Embody today.
Does the Embody recline?
Yes. The tilt tension knob below the seat sets how firm the recline feels.
Does the Embody have a headrest?
No, the Embody does not come with one. Our OfficeLogix headrest, available in Rhythm Black, clamps to the Embody's spine without drilling and sells separately.
Embody or Aeron: which should I pick?
Pick the Embody for a padded seat and a narrow back that moves with you. Pick the Aeron if you would rather sit on mesh and want a choice of three sizes. We also carry a new open box Aeron in Size C, and our comparison article goes deeper.
When will it ship, and is shipping free?
Expect it to leave us in 2 to 3 business days. Shipping is free in the contiguous US and costs extra to Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. We also ship internationally at the best rate we can get.
Embody parts, for later on
The Embody's fabric, arm pads and casters can all be replaced, so one worn part does not mean buying another chair. We make or stock what is listed here, and most entries come with a repair video.
