Herman Miller Aeron vs Embody. Which one do you like better? Thinking about getting one for home office.

I have back issues, and the Embody is the best chair that I have found. I have used it for 5 years and I can’t imagine working from home without it. We have Aeron in our company offices, and I’ve found that it aggravates my back issues. I also find the aesthetic of the Embody to be more appealing

I find Aeron chairs very uncomfortable. Accenture used to have them everywhere, so glad those overpriced chairs have been phased out

Embody is the better ergonomic chair.

I do, however, favor the Aeron for its classic styling.

Better yet, buy a real nice Eames chair and put a couple of boxes on it to reach your desk!

I got Embody and very happy with it. Thank you for the input guys.

M2, I periodically spend $500+ for a meal. so $1500 chair is not a bad deal for my health.

I have an Embody - smartest decision ever.

When I was hired, I don't recall being informed about my salary being tied to my location. My employment contract also only makes one mention of location, and says "home office" and my state. I was recently told by HR though that if I move, my comp. will be lower. Is this legal? Should I consult a labor lawyer?

In my mind, I don't recall being told this and it's not clear from my employment contract, so I feel like they're breaking our agreement, and it feels unfair.

Thoughts on what to do?
