Go for it. Get it on finance and just pay it up. I’d wait until they have a sale/discount, they happen quite often.
You won’t regret it.

Herman Miller have an eBay outlet. I’ve picked up the Logitech G version of the Embody for £1,100ish.
I received a Corsair T3 Rush yesterday and like it. Only thing is it creaks on the left side when I lean back on it. Could be something to do with the way I assembled it, maybe tightened the screws too much or too little.
It took me about an hour to assemble and wasn't the easiest there's a lot of parts in the box that need assembling. I followed a video on Corsairs website and that helped a lot.
Overall satisfied, the creaking is a minor annoyance and I only paid £219.99 for it as it was in a sale.

Wish I could remember what mine was. It came from a company I used to work for and I got to keep it after.
Not had any issues with it.
The creaking on my chair appears to be coming from the plastic side arm pictured here...
If I lean back on the chair it creaks a bit as its being pushed back then when I lean forward it creaks again as it moves back into original position.

I dont think you get the warranty with the ebay outlet store though. I'd hang fire for the sale. They tend to have one May time i think.
You don’t but I’m not hard on my chairs so a 12 year warranty is wasted on me. Thanks for the heads up about the sale though as there’s a good chance my chair won’t turn up due to FedEx being awful as usual
EDIT: I did FedEx a disservice. The driver called back round this afternoon so I’ve now got my chair. Had a very quick seat in it and it was very comfy. Much more so than it looks like it should

Thanks for the suggestion’s, it does seem a bit crazy you don’t get any warranty in the outlet store, even 3 or 5 year warranty would be a large reduction compared to new. It’s a decent discount, think I’ll hang on until the sale to compare prices before making a decision

I'm on a second hand Aeron at the moment and looking to get the Embody the next time there's a sale on - only worry is the foam rather than mesh will be hotter come the summer months.

I never even thought of that but for what it’s worth when I used one in Japan in >30ºC and it was fine. Granted the room was chilled by A/C but it wasn’t exactly freezing in there.
I didnt have any problems with my Embody last summer. The foams not that thick on them and is very breathable.

Just a heads up. HH have a 20% sale on at the moment.

I would recommend having a look around at local office shops, I got a really nice mesh ergonomic chair from them in 2016 it has a 5 year warranty on it, and it still is going strong. They seem to borrow a lot of the tech from HM.
I am a bigger chap so find the mesh comforting on my fat a**

Same. Multiple summers now, couple of them pretty toasty! Chair has been the last of my concerns.

Lovely! Is this the regular Embody or the Logitech version?
It's the Logitech one. I don't think they do the standard version in the UK.
I am probably in the zone for a new chair sometime later this year.
The Noblechairs one I have got has not lasted as long as I hoped.
The chair itself is fine, but the PU leather on the edge where your legs hang over has all worn away and is now sharpish feeling torn PU leather or whatever its called.
Tried some leather sticky patches to keep it together, but its not really done anything to reduce impact and tearing.
Personally all good with the chair but its just really uncomfortable on my legs now.
I did sit in one of those Corsair chairs a few weeks ago and was really pleasantly surprised at its comfort.

Steel case Leap is the absolute GOAT. I need to grab me another one soon.
