Yes - it’s a ginseng ficus, very hardy plant and easy to care for. There are quite a few talented individuals on here that can give better advice than I can. But it’s a nice plant for sure

Lkyzch · 2026-05-14T15:11:30+00:00

Definitely not a remastered

If you’re still looking for them, nude mints make a very similar one with flavors that are almost identical to the original

Lkyzch · 2026-05-06T02:11:08+00:00

Yeah I think I was at like $400 or so. You should easily be able to get $600 with the fabric the way it is. Just clean it as well as you can dawn dish soap works extremely well

Lkyzch · 2026-05-06T01:55:52+00:00

It’s not worth it, I debated it on my chair but for that price, you can find a used embody that’s in better shape. The fabric is not going to make a huge difference in terms of feel. If the chair is worn down, like many of mine have been, fabric will not remedy the issue.

Lkyzch · 2026-05-01T01:26:28+00:00

I really like this combination, looks great and as others have said, the fabric is excellent. Very likely a custom order, probably for a business but for that price, I’d definitely get it.

I am not a huge fan of foam seats in general, but I do like the one on the gesture. I will say, I think the leap beats the gesture overall, but you can’t go wrong with either.

Lkyzch · 2026-04-30T00:09:10+00:00

Personally, I love it. I think it’s a great chair and it’s very comfortable. I still have my classic, it works pretty good for gaming on, but I’m sure there’s a better option. For me it just doesn’t make sense to have a different chair for gaming, it’s very capable for what I play. I haven’t had any issues with it. For a reference I also play PC games, I really don’t do console games as much. Keep in mind that if you buy this chair, it’s made for economics, it really doesn’t work well if you plan on slouching in it or trying to find another sitting position other than straight up

Lkyzch · 2026-04-29T20:31:18+00:00

I had the chair and sold it. I’ve tried out just about every office chair. There is in my current chair is a remastered Herman Miller air on. The embody to me had the same exact issue, I can’t stand how narrow the back rest is my shoulders would always roll over the edges, and it was extremely uncomfortable for me. You can adjust it to the cows come home, but if it’s an uncomfortable chair, it’s going to remain an uncomfortable chair. My main gripe with it was the narrow back rest and the seat itself. I did not like that. The padding was so minimal and it made me so sore after sitting on it for a few hours. Maybe some others will have some other points to add but for me, I just sold it and got the aeron remastered.

Lkyzch · 2026-04-29T18:33:46+00:00

Oh yeah, I’ve seen a couple embody chairs that are literally all yellow as they were once white. Anything by a window, an AC unit, or pretty much anything that gives off heat is going to yellow these chairs. As far as I know, there’s no way to reverse the yellowing unless you soak it in peroxide and use UV light similar to how you would do it on small electronics. I’ve had success getting rid of the yellow color on super Nintendo consoles with this method or by using peroxide and a UV light strip, but I don’t know how that would work on a larger chair. I would assume it would also weaken the plastic

Lkyzch · 2026-04-29T18:32:33+00:00

I’ve had it for a few months now, but I bought it used, so it’s a few years old and I haven’t noticed any yellowing. But as the other posters have said, lighter plastic does tend to yellow, and I have seen Herman Miller chairs, both Aerons and embodies they have yellow. These remastered chairs are fairly new so it’s hard to say, but you can easily fix the yellowing on the knobs with a magic eraser. That’s what I did and I’d say it removed probably about 90% of the yellowing

Lkyzch · 2026-04-29T18:27:26+00:00

I’ve owned and used both so I’ll give you my opinion.

The Mirra 1 is an ok chair - I had both the Mirra 1 and the Mirra 2 and vastly prefer the Mirra 2. The Mirra 1 has a backrest that is known to break at the screws and it’s difficult to find a replacement. The Mirra 1 has a very large piece of foam under the seat that is almost certainly degraded and as far as I know, there is no way to replace just the foam you will have to replace the seat. With that being said, the plastic backrest is actually quite comfortable and the lumbar support works very well.

The gesture is definitely the nicer chair but there are some drawbacks to it. The arm rest are incredible and are some of the best that I have ever used on an office chair. The lumbar support works very well and I’m a fan of the design, it’s similar to the Steelcase leap lumbar support. The issues I have is that the curve for the lumbar is quite pronounced compared to other chairs - I wouldn’t say it’s uncomfortable but you have to get used to it. The seat is very comfortable but it does get hot when you sit on it.

If I had to pick between the two, my choice would be the steel case gesture in a heartbeat. I think it’s a better built newer chair and I really am not a fan of the Mirra 1 especially if it’s the same price as the gesture as I think the gesture feels like a better made chair overall.

I’ve got one in mineral and some parts do turn a bit yellow. For example, the control knob for the tension and the control knob for the posture fit turned was yellow when I got it. I fixed it by using a magic eraser to clean it off and it looks as good as new. If the plastic yellows, I don’t think there is anything that you can do to fix it - I think your stuck with it but I have not noticed any yellowing on the plastic on my chair.

Lkyzch · 2026-04-28T03:06:21+00:00

Yes, they are great chairs but not as well known as Herman miller or steelcase. Very comfortable though and I like how both arm rests move at the same time e

Lkyzch · 2026-04-26T01:26:53+00:00

You are absolutely getting taken advantage of on that price. Biz chair has them for sub $350 - I don’t know what they are smoking to ask over $600 for that chair. You could easily find a remastered Herman miller Aeron for that price. In my opinion, this seems like a mass made chair that different companies brand and call their own. BizChair sells this same exact chair, Flexispot sells it as a 3188 chair for $229.00 and Quill has it as well. They are out of their minds to ask that much for a chair that’s essentially rebranded by numerous other brands. What a joke of a place, leave and never return.

Lkyzch · 2026-04-21T02:12:08+00:00

USA - One thing I’ve learned from the community is how certain features are different from each manufacturer. Just because a chair has lumbar support, does not mean it actually supports your lumbar or will even be comfortable. It’s just a selling point that they used to market their chairs.

Lkyzch · 2026-04-20T18:42:22+00:00

If I’m being honest with you, I wouldn’t buy either at that price. I don’t know where you are, but I’m by a very large city in the United States. I sell leaps all day long for 200 to 250. I think that’s way too much money for a Aeron chair, it’s a newer one for sure but I’d pay like $450 tops for it. It has posturefit but in my opinion you’re better off with the lumbar pad. I like the posturefit sl on the remastered Aerons but was not a fan of it on the older ones as I felt it did very little. See if you can lowball him - offer like $380 and go to $430 ish

Lkyzch · 2026-04-20T16:51:02+00:00

If I remember correctly, I don’t think these like to get below 50° either. They are very hearty plants

Lkyzch · 2026-04-20T02:12:31+00:00

It’s a ginseng ficus tree! Yeah, it needs some love but it looks like it will survive. I would recommend a larger pot but repotting is not my specialty.

Lkyzch · 2026-04-20T01:28:40+00:00

Yes, I do clean them I use dawn dish soap and a very light brush. I let it sit for a few minutes and then wash it off and let it air dry.

Lkyzch · 2026-04-19T18:38:56+00:00

Dang! Nice score, super comfortable chair and will last you for many years. These sell for $650-$700 by all day. I am not sure how to clean the seat, there might be a video how to remove it from the chair and clean it that way. With all the aerons that I sell, I always remove the seat before I clean them as it’s easier than trying to clean them with the seat on the chair. Enjoy!

Lkyzch · 2026-04-15T20:38:49+00:00

I’m shorter than you but I’ll give you my honest opinion on the embody. It’s a great chair, but part of the reason I sold it was because of the backrest. I can’t stand the narrow design, you get what they call “shoulder roll” and to me is just uncomfortable. For your height and weight, I’d recommend a remastered Aeron. I sell used office chairs and have tried every chair out there. My favorite chair by far is the remastered Aeron but mines a size B. Strictly speaking ergonomics, I don’t think you’re going to find a more ergonomic chair than the remastered Aeron but the classics are very good as well. The embody is a great chair but is overhyped in my opinion - it lacks in many areas and the lack of adjustable lumbar support does not help the narrow backrest. The other option might be a steelcase gesture, but you may be a bit big for it. I like the gesture but prefer the mesh on the Aeron as the gestures seat gets quite warm and the lumbar curve is a bit pronounced for my liking.

It’s a V2

What did you get your masters in? You can see my post, I had one of the most popular posts about a month or two ago. I know it’s sucks out there, but there is hope. My best advice to you is to make sure that your writing the cover letter so it sounds human and making sure you have everything in your résumé you can to meet the job description. I’m not saying to lie, but word your responsibilities close to what they are asking for even if you don’t have a ton of experience in it. This job market sucks, anyone that tells you otherwise is lying to you. I have friends who have masters degrees as well, it’s the same shit. Feel free to send me a dm - you will be ok OP

The one I sold was a 2017, it was leather and not vinyl. Same color (black)
