Initial Herman Miller Embody impressions

gistfile1.txt

Embody problems:
	back support is too stiff, there is little of the advertised "pixelated" flex
		feels like I'm being grabbed by the spine (and one must sit perfectly centered)
	lumbar support on the back feels a little too low (I am 5'11")
	when sitting completely upright, no contact with seat back outside of lumbar support
	extensible front seat edge feels lumpy and is a little too high
		apparently caused by a bunch of wire supports
		lumpiness might be causing leg numbness (I have no numbness with another chair at the same height)
	arms tilt when seat tilts - prefer they stay level with base:
		to avoid changing hand height on keyboard
		to avoid digging into my forearm
	armrest height is not granular enough - at the seat height I want, I can choose between two bad settings
	armrests are too long / too far forward
	the extra flex available in the upper backrest takes too much force to use (I am 126 lbs)
	thumb-scratching plastic near tilt limiter
	back adjustment knob came damaged

I find myself agreeing with:
