I think my new ambition is to sit longer in one! thats how great they are – i suppose you might say Davy – i’m in awe and fankly quite jealous!

Yes I do seem somewhat enthusiastic about the chair, but with good reason - as anyone who spends as much time as I do sitting in one all day. I'm happy to champion and share on anything I find to be so good a product as this - and so well designed, aesthetically and ergonomically. And dig that 12 YEAR warranty, how confident are they on their product lifespan? Er, he has a daughter too?... Peter,

I went for the 'Full Monte' on the Mirra chair, didn't see the point of ordering it with only some of the adjustments when the whole deal is all about the personalisation of the chair itself. I'm a happy camper with it too. Also the full-spec Mirra costs less than the same options in the Aeron. I tried the Aeron too, liked it but could not see/feel where the extra money was going. Cheers. Phil,

I read this in full. It was good mate. I liked it. I must admit I did 'get a go' in one of these superb 'contraptions'. You are right. I'll live with the memory for a little bit longer. Go raibh míle maith agat. Slán peter A Chara Davy,

The Aerons are excellent, although I went for the Mirra. I think I want all my chairs to be from Herman Miller now. And you'll be happy to know that 'sitting-on-arse' is now improving to ninja status with this chair ;-) Hey Mike,

Mind you--there are things that annoy me about it too, like the fact I can't allow it to lean forward whilst preventing it from leaning backwards, but by and large I love using a chair I don't have to think about or get annoyed with. The office in Cleveland is not so well outfitted and it is a bit of a frustration there! It becomes easy to take the comfortable bottom for granted, eh? Well, happy sitting-on-your-arse, mate! You do it so very, very well... :P Mike Well, welcome to hermanmiller comfort, Davy! =:-)
