Herman Miller Mirra 2 Chair - Tilt Limiter and Seat Angle, Butterfly Back

I had a Hermann Millar Aeron that I'd had for a couple of decades, the lumbar piece had split, the casters were scratching my hardwood floors. The Aeron was pretty much done and had been given great service. I needed a new chair.A good friend of mine had me over for Thanksgiving and while I was there, he showed me his new Mirra 2 chair and it started me off on a research jag on the Mirra 2.Everything I found out made me realize that this was the new chair I wanted. The only change I made was that I replaced the casters with rollerblade wheels.The chair was easy and quick to assemble, offers great support throughout, is silent and not at all distracting when I'm working or moving in the chair. The adjustments took me a minute but things like the adjustable chair depth are great (I'm 6'4" so I need the full chair depth extended) and the upgraded lumbar support is much better than my old Aeron — and it seems more durable. The chair is rock solid stable, looks great and is very very comfortable.I highly recommend this chair.

Bought the modern fabric-covered model with full adjustability. Got lucky with a "used" model. I sure couldn't tell it was used, still had new plastic smell. Thanks Amazon warehouse!So I never sat in a mesh style chair before, and I must lament my ignorance, it is the only style of office chair anyone should consider. Especially after years of dealing with cushioned chairs going flat.All adjustments are easy and intuitive, the lumbar support is very well designed and spread out comfortably. The rocking feature is very nice, and the tension adjustment is the strongest I ever experienced.For reference I am 190lbs and 5'11". Can I stay in one position comfortably for hours in this chair? No, but it has so many ways of quickly adjusting that makes enduring long hours at the desk pain free and pleasant. And I can tell this chair will be durable for the next decade easily.Oh, the arm rest pads are glorious. Herman Miller makes the best arm rests ever.

Prior to purchasing this chair, I had never sat in one with mesh material. I had read reviews, some negative, about the Mirra 2, but decided to go ahead and make the purchase since I believe a good chair is worth the cost, and I was hopeful it would be everything I had in mind.This chair came fully assembled and was ready to be put to work within minutes of opening the box. It looks beautiful and is a high-quality chair, but within minutes of sitting in it I began having tingling feelings in my legs. I can still feel tingling right now, while sitting in the Mirra 2, on the back of my legs from my thighs down to my knees, down my calves, and in the tops of my feet.I tried numerous adjustments, and even called customer service at Herman Miller to ask for help making adjustments to solve the issue. I followed all of their suggestions. After not being able to find any relief, I have decided that the mesh just isn't supportive enough.I'm 5'10" and 160 lbs, so I don't think I should be having issues with this chair. And considering the cost, there should be no question of comfort at all since my prior seat was a very cheap one and I didn't have any issues like this.My prior chair was an inexpensive one from an office store. It wasn't uncomfortable, but it wasn't very good ergonomically speaking. I slouched in it, and that led to back pain. The Mirra 2 is designed in a way that you can't slouch -- it keeps you sitting correctly -- and that is a good thing.But if I have tingling on my legs that I can't resolve, I can't sit it in all day. I notice this tingling constantly while sitting in this chair, and it is distracting. Sadly, this one will be going back and I'll try one of the other quality chairs that uses a cushion rather than mesh.

I have had this chair for 2.5 years and I really want to love this expensive chair. I sit in it 8-10 hours a day and have become frustrated with the inability to adjust the lean of chair back. I have tried adjusting seat tilt and lower back support but cannot get find a way to feel supported while sitting up straight. After a long day/week I have started switching to my $99 desk chair for a change… not a comfortable chair either. Ugh!

Realizing that I spent more time more time behind my desk (over 16 hours a day, in fact), it didn't make sense to skimp out. Even if there's a point of diminishing rewards (perhaps around the 200 dollar mark), I still wanted, nay needed, the best I could get. I visited my local Room and Board and tried out all their seats, and the wide range of adjustment options (particularly the forward tilt which is essential if you type a lot) combined with the way the Mirra just fit made me want to get it - unfortunately it was out of stock and wouldn't be available for over a month and a half (I'm in the Chicagoland region). So I turned to Amazon and purchased it here, hoping very hard that I would find it to my satisfaction as it wouldn't be accompanied with any 30/60/90 day satisfaction and exchange guarantee.As a fairly skinny guy (160lbs at 5'11"), I found the seat to be a little uncomfortable in the buttock region at first, with the mesh feeling just a little too stiff for my liking. However, I decided to give it a few days before giving in and sending it back (at ~60lbs it would cost a pretty penny via USP) with a 10% restocking fee, and I'm glad I did. Your buttocks will get used to it, and the seat will give in just a little. It'll "just fit" and you won't even know it's there, except for the reassuring lumbar support and a gentle restraining feel around the sides of the calves. Definitely not regretting my purchase now, and fully recommend this for any others looking for a good computer chair. Make sure you pay the extra 30 dollars for the forward tilt, at that price it's not something you want to skimp out on.
