I use an Herman-Miller Aeron at work, and I was wanting a high-end chair for the home office. The things that attracted to me to the Mirra were the open weave fabric, since the office gets toasty with all those PCs... and the ability to adjust for the larger figure (upwards and sideways).
I also wanted the Latitude Fabric Cover, which had only recently been introduced to cushion the hard plastic of the original Mirra.
To get the equivalent Aeron, one would need to jump through hoops in terms of sizing the chair and then adding options like adjustable armrests and so on. (The price was significantly more as well).
So, I took the plunge and plunked down the money hoping that the reviews I read were correct in my extensive research.
The box arrived, assembly was very easy and the finish was excellent.
Now, after three months, I notice that it feels MORE comfortable than the Aeron at work. I think there are two improvements.
1. The lumbar support has both position up and down and how far it pushes forward and backward. For me (6'4") I can never get the Aeron correct so that it was high enough on the back but with enough "oomph" to meet my spine.
2. The front of the seat has an adjustment to bend the seat edge down. In an Aeron, I would feel the hard edge of the seat just about 3" behind my knees. Very irritating.
So, all in all, an excellent product. To be even better, making the bottom seat deeper (or movable forward 2") to provide more upper leg support for larger frames and likewise with the back up and down would be the ticket, but these are not things that detract from the excellent qualities of this seat by much - hence 4 stars.

This chair provides a very attractive home-office alternative to the typical all-black sterile office chair. It was easy to assemble and, surprisingly, looks great with my cherry desk. It is not tremendously "roomy" so if you're looking for a BIG seat, this isn't it. I am very pleased with this chair and it routinely receives compliments from visitors.
