I've been using a $1,200 office chair for three years — and it's worth every penny by Kif Leswing on Sep 6, 2016, 9:43 AM Advertisement
 Have you ever wondered what it would be like to sit on a throne? Today's modern information workers don't sit on gilded chairs. They spend hours, days, and weeks of their lives in office chairs — you know, common adjustable-height chairs with wheels. Three years ago, I decided I wanted a top-of-the-line chair. A throne. At the time, I frequently worked from home. My thinking went, if I was going to be doing 7 or 8 hours in front of a computer on a regular basis, I could at least be comfortable. So after digging into my savings, waiting for a good sale, and with a lot of trepidation, I bought Herman Miller's Embody chair. It's the most expensive office chair Herman Miller makes. This chair has named designers and a philosophy. Herman Miller's website says that the Embody was designed to solve "the lack of physical harmony between people and their technology." It also currently costs $1,429 on Amazon right now and $1,230 on Herman Miller's site — and that's before shipping and assembly. So if I had to do it again, would I buy the Embody?

Herman Miller doesn't publish its weight, but it's substantial — I'd guess maybe as much as 50 pounds. You wouldn't want to pick it up. 
Herman Miller makes a big deal about the chair's "Innovative Spine." 
"The interlocking, flexing support structures that branch off from the main part of the spine provide incredible, personalized comfort and support. Not only that, but they are a work of sculptural art in and of themselves."
