In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through every step of unboxing, assembling, and troubleshooting your Herman Miller Embody chair. Let’s get started and set up your chair for an unmatched ergonomic experience.
Unboxing Your Embody Chair
What’s in the Box: When you open the box, you’ll find the following:
- Partially assembled chair
- Spine
- Back
- BackFit adjustment knob
A bag containing all bolts, screws, tools, and additional parts:
- Two Allen wrenches (long and short)
- Back bolts
- Metal rod for the spine
- Two plastic hinges
- Screws for fastening
Step 1: Assembling the Spine and Back
Positioning the Spine:
- Place the spine under the antler and dome sections of the chair.
- Align the metal rod with the holes in the spine and carefully push it through until it fully extends.
Attaching the Hinge Covers:
- Take the two plastic hinges (left- and right-specific) and ensure proper orientation.
- Align the hinges with the metal rod on both sides and firmly push them into place.
Securing the Spine:
- Insert the provided bolts into the left and right sides of the spine.
- Use the T27 torque Allen key to tighten the bolts securely.
Step 2: Attaching the Back to the Base
Aligning the Back:
- Place the back of the chair onto the base, ensuring the two holes at the bottom align with the protrusions on the base.
- Push the back firmly into position.
Securing the Back:
- From the backside, use the short bolts to secure the bottom. Tighten them with the T40 torque Allen key.
- Insert the long bolts into their designated holes and tighten them as well.
Troubleshooting Bolt Alignment:
- If the long bolts don’t catch the thread, lay the chair flat on the ground to align the thread and nut properly. Push the bolts firmly, then tighten them securely.
Step 3: Installing the BackFit Adjustment Knob
- Take the BackFit adjustment knob and push it into place on the back of the chair.
- Twist the knob to adjust the lumbar support according to your preferences.
Troubleshooting Tips
Loose Height Adjustment Cable:
- If the height adjustment isn’t functioning, check the cable connection to the cylinder. Push the cable securely into the cylinder, and the adjustment should work perfectly.
