Found a local outlet in Brooklyn selling Herman Miller chairs. Got a mint condition Embody for $600 on the advice of this thread. They also had Aeron’s and Mirras but I found the Embody more comfy.

I’ll miss having a headrest but I guess a healthier better posture is more important than leaning back. I’ve already had neck surgery for herniated discs which I’m sure is in no small part due to bad sitting posture.

Wait what outlet is this because I desperately need a new chair but the usual online suspects are strangely terrible for NYC it seems?

Design Within Reach in Industry City.
I took the newest looking gray Embody, the rest looked good too, they just need a bit of cleaning with a damp cloth from being stored for a while. All of them seemed functionally perfect and I didn’t notice any obvious blemishes. I wanted the blue/black one but my wife vetoed it. They had two shades of blue, another gray, and a black. All of them for $599.

They also have a ton of Aerons and Mirras and other types but those were not priced so aggressively. I don’t understand why the price the Aerons only $100 lower than the Embody, I suppose they sell those more because of name recognition.

I mean if you can get a good quality one for half the price then do that, otherwise there is no problem getting it new. It’s worth it. I was lucky I found a mint condition one for half the price but if I hadn’t I would have paid full price without regrets.
