- benihana 13y agoHave you looked at used ones?
- mfcoyle 13y agoTalk to your your local dealer before writing the idea off completely. They periodically have small business and home office pricing available. You have limited options on color/fabric, but the discounts are significant, especially on the Embody. When you factor in the warranty and long-term availability of replacement parts, the TCO of an Embody may be much lower than you think.
- Amadou 13y agoI'm still sitting on a former Enron-owned HM Aeron I got off of Ebay for less than $200. The mesh seat is great for farts, but ergonomically it is crap, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The edge of the chair where the mesh attaches puts pressure on a vein or an artery and makes my legs falls asleep. I've read reports that the design was more about form over function too. Consequently, I'm thinking about picking up a Humanscale which I've been told was designed for ergonomics first and appearances second. I'd be interested in hearing any opinions comments from people who've sat in one for over a year.
- dochtman 13y agoWe had the Humanscale Freedom at the office, and they were kind of crappy. Not much back support (at least for me, 6'2), and they break all the time...
- Amadou 13y agoWhat part of them broke? Where they the metal framed or plastic framed versions?

- narag 13y agoI had one of those at work. Very nice looking. But... the best chair for my back ever has been a 20€ plastic garden chair bought at Carrefour. I guess I'm fortunate not to have expensive ass tastes.
