Great chair, but some don't like the back April 16, 2007
20 out of 22 found this review helpful
I've had my Mirra for over 3 years now and I love it. The chair arms are particularly nice - they are the perfect shape and very adjustable, with plenty of padding (some other chair arms tend to be too rectangular with uncomfortable edges). The chair bottom is basically identical to the more expensive Aeron and feels just the same to me; easy on the legs, perfect amount of support and keeps you cool. Also, the adjustments on this chair are very easy to use, which is a big improvement over the Aeron.
I find the chair back to be very comfortable and it provides great adjustable lower-back support. However, I've talked to some people who found its rigidity uncomfortable, so I would try sitting in this before buying it as the back seems to be a love it or hate it issue.
Summary: Great chair, plenty of adjustments, great value, very durable so far (after 3+ years)
Best Chair Ever March 8, 2007
12 out of 13 found this review helpful
I never thought I would spend this amount of money for a office chair, however it is truly the BEST CHAIR EVER. I have been in business for 20years and every couple of years I would have to replace my office chair and my back would always hurt after sitting in those chairs bought from the local office supply house. I now enjoy sitting at my desk, pain free hour after hour. If you do the math it cost about $50.00 per year over 12 years(warranty). Whats your back worth? I'm buying two more for my home office.
This Is Most Definitely The Chair For You - Believe It! October 24, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I am writing to let you know if you're still on the fence about this design beauty, this is definitely the chair for you and you can believe the hype.
I have sat in the Aeron chair, also by Herman Miller as you probably know, for a number of years prior to buying a Mirra for my use at home, and am familiar with how amazingly beneficial a completely comfortable, customizable sitting experience can be. Although I originally intended to purchase a loaded Aeron for my home office, I decided ultimately on the Mirra because of its updated modern look.
Of course, the first thing I did was sit-test each chair back to back at my local Room&Board store which has the same pricing for this chair as Amazon but without the long wait for delivery. I found the Mirra chair to be just as comfortable, if not more so (which in my opinion it is) as the Aeron, and as an added bonus it's less expensive (although if you're considering chairs in this price range this probably isn't such a concern for you).
Some people have complained to Herman Miller about the back of the chair being too ridgid, but I'm betting this could simply be because they haven't taken the time to adjust their chair properly as recommended in the videos on the HM page for this chair and in the manual accompanying the chair (and adjusting the chair is a very simple and fast process). I find the back infinitely comfortable, and in fact even more so than the Aeron because of the additional support. It flexes and moves with you, changing shape as you change position. I was truly amazed when I experienced this, and then saw my partner sit in the chair and observed how it moved with him. However, I definitely feel you ought to sit in this chair first before you purchase one, just to be absolutely certain.
I have owned my beloved Mirra (Graphite on Graphite to be match-safe for future decorating schemes) inside of a week now, and every time I sit in it I feel compelled to sigh with the sheer joy of luxuriating in comfort. I upgraded to this chair after owning a Herman Miller Caper desk chair Multi-Task Caper Task Chair by Herman Miller - Black on Black w/ Molded Plastic Seat for a couple of years. That chair was also comfortable, but arguably a waste of money for me as I ended up having the seat back crack on me twice after about twelve months of use each time. Fortunately, Room&Board and I were able to negotiate their taking back that chair and crediting me towards the price of my Mirra (the chair I should've just bought in the first place).
With many of the same color options as the Aeron and all the same features that have been updated in almost every case since the Aeron's original design, I'm thinking the Mirra is well on its way to becoming the next ubiquitous office chair. As I've said, if you're still on the fence, jump down and test/buy yours today -- you won't regret it.
Torqued? February 16, 2008

I got this chair for myself. I thought I'd get the Aeron, but the reviews I saw indicated that the Leap and the Mirra were the more modern successors to the Aeron. In fairness, I've never had an Aeron, so I can't compare.
It's a huge upgrade to a regular office chair in the way that a first class seat is better than coach. It has a number of adjustments to customize it to your body. I love the web seat and web-like back that don't trap heat.
It looks great - modern without looking like a science project (Aeron).
I ordered it from Amazon - via a 3rd party. It was late, and they never did send me the one I actually ordered.
The assembly instructions require a torque wrench. I used a socket and I think that worked fine. The Leap chair was easier to assemble - though neither was really a big deal; as long as you ignored measuring the torque. (What are those guys at HM thinking when they say, "Now get out your torque wrench and..."
Beats the Aeron December 8, 2007

I spent an hour at a local retailer trying both Aeron and this Mirra. I was not concerned about price, just comfort. I took the Mirra. They both feel great, but the Mirra's tilt dynamics felt better to me. With the Aeron I felt like I needed to help the chair back to upright position, the Mirra responded more naturally. This was after working the tension every which way with help of sales person. The back feels great by the way. Just the right amount of support.
