          Nah. It was 100% the real thing. Office buildings around Sydney regularly clear out chairs at dirt cheap prices. It's only due to COVID and the rise in WFH for employees that the prices have gone up. I ended up selling it for $150 in the end, was glad to be rid of it. Bought a Steelcase Leap V2 for $200. Better but still not perfect.

          • fredblogs on 10/09/2022 - 00:12

    The bottom pan is prone to sagging and the backrest is not comfortable.

    • PeeDee on 09/09/2022 - 19:35
      +1

      Is that from experience? How long did it take for the sag to happen. I wonder if they have a weight limit and people closer to the limit is sag-able. Need more anecdotal evidence

      • xenoic on 09/09/2022 - 19:41
        +3

        Yes it’s from personal experience. I bought a second hand Mirra 1 from ex office equipment. The mesh was very saggy and due to the design of the pan, it’ll dig into your thigh, creating an uncomfortable pressure. Mira 1 bottom pan has a sponge piece at the front which gives support on the thigh but it’s very deteriorated over time. This piece alone costs about $80 shipped from UK.

        Another issue I had with my Mirra was the smell. The mesh is practically almost fabric like which has absorbed a lot of ASS and hints of cigarette smell.

          Your ass needs to stop smoking.

        • PeeDee on 09/09/2022 - 20:06

          Exactly that! My concern is when needing parts would make it more expensive added to what you already pay for the chair!

          So all within 4 years you started seeing signs of wear and tear?

          • xenoic on 09/09/2022 - 20:09
            +1

            @PeeDee: It’s a second hand chair mate. Mirra 1 has been around for more than 20 years. The sag was already there when I bought it but I wasn’t sure what to expect when I got it.

            • PeeDee on 09/09/2022 - 20:12

              @xenoic: Ah ok. the Mirra 2 is out and it looks like a lot of the problems are addressed there. Not a fan of the Aeron one though cause of the net.

          Think of the thousands of silent but deadly farts that have been laid through that mesh. Lifted arse cheeks to drop bombs on fellow workmates. I bet that mesh is a small city of poo particles…

      • xenoic on 09/09/2022 - 20:02
        +1

        From the photo this looks like the Mirra 1 which is the same as what I had.

        Issues:
        1. Saggy mesh
        2. Sponge support disintegrated
        3. Smell
        4. Mine had a manufacturing date in 1999. That’s been around a lot of asses in the last 23 years

        Replaced with an Aeron and it is a massive upgrade in many aspects.

          • slimsnorlax on 10/09/2022 - 09:52

            @abuch47: No more adjustments and just fits my move. Aeron is great when I sit in straight position, but from time to time I need/ want to layback a bit or move around/change desk height or so and cosm can follow my move. It feels like not enough back support at first but after a full day I just love it, and it’s now my favourite

            • abuch47 on 10/09/2022 - 17:00

              @slimsnorlax: Yeah I like the aeron for ergonomics but not lounging around in easily. Have never seen a cosm secondhand whereas the aeron picked up a grey classic for $720 at the height of covid. Just need to work out what to clean the mesh with

    • hippo2s on 09/09/2022 - 20:42
      +1

      the design philosophy of mirra is that it allows your body to move around. making you use your own core and back muscles while sitting.

      IMO it's not meant to be a sofa, so the adjustments on it is not designed to give you comfort, 'right fit' is not what you look for. It's designed to allow you to move and support with you own body, instead of something that you sink into.

        Im a property guy for a large corporate. We’ve been recycling/reissuing our Aerons whenever we exit a building nowadays. The chairs last 10+ years, so unless they’re in poor condition (very few are), they get moved over to the new building. Saves money, and is a much more sustainable practice.

        You’re wrong. The Mirra 1 seat pan has foam support underneath the front bit. That one disintegrates within a few years and absorbs a lot of stink if it’s a second hand item.

        Can’t pull out that foam easily and need to disassemble a few parts. Poor design in the Mirra 1

  • GuniGuGu on 09/09/2022 - 19:30

    I have a Mirra 1 with the mesh back and arm rest. Got it off gumtree for like $300ish like 4 years ago. Compared to the dx racer and a cheap $200 office chair, it's no question so much better. I think the dx racer actually damaged by back with it's terrrrible lumbar support.

    That said physio thinks I need a saddle chair, so I'm back on the market for a new chair… But I definitely think the Mirra is a very good chair.

    • PeeDee on 09/09/2022 - 19:41

      how did your back get 'damaged'? Didn't the Mirra help fix bad posture from previous chairs? Why did your physio recommend a saddle chair when you are well off with your Mirra?

      • GuniGuGu on 10/09/2022 - 09:33

        I can not be sure what caused the 'damage'… I play a lot of sports and have taken a few hits. Most notably was some (profanity) at outdoor netball who thought it was like footy and undercut me when I was in the air. That took me out for a weeks.

        That said a year or so later I was using the dx racer with lumbar cushion for multiple hours a day and playing squash when one time I jumped up vertically and felt a pull. That was a strain that I never fully recovered from. Pain was pretty intent initially. Sneezing would have be curled up in the fetal position for like 10-15 minutes in just agony. Over time the intense pain went away, but there's still an ache in my lower left back.

        I don't think sitting down is going to 'fix' it, no matter what chair. The physio think it's from the hip joints and so a saddle chair should allow me to get upright position and straighten my legs. That should at least remove the constant damage I do by hunching / sitting in a regular chair.

    • hippo2s on 09/09/2022 - 20:51
      +1

      Mirra is designed to NOT support you, it makes you support your own posture thru developing and using those core and back muscles. A saddle chair would be the ultimate as there is absolutely no back!

      Other posts where people complain it's uncomfortable compared to padded chairs…of course! It's meant to be like that. It's not designed to be a sofa.

      • GuniGuGu on 10/09/2022 - 09:35

        The idea behind a saddle chair the physio thinks is because my pain comes from the hip joint, I can't straighten my leg and posture.

      • PeeDee on 10/09/2022 - 10:27

        Being no back chair I'm assuming the physio would want you to use it along with your Herman Miller cause it can get uncomfortable

  • PeeDee on 09/09/2022 - 19:38

    Hey guys, can anyone here who would say that they've had it for long period of time like several years comment on whether the chair is still going strong? Quality, wear and tear?

    Biggest thing I fear is parts replacement Herman Miller, if there's a problem with your chair outside of its warranty, replacing the parts can be pretty expensive.

    • hippo2s on 09/09/2022 - 20:31
      +2

      12 years of warranty (but if this is seconds check and get that that is the youngest). That's works out to be 7.4 cents per day to support you bum. By then…just get another.

      I had mine serviced free a couple of years ago, broken part replaced. Other than that still same but I am small build so not affected by mesh sag.

      Just saying…yes there are cheaper (more comfortable) chairs. but not many gives this kind of warranty, especially 'gaming chairs'.

    Why is nobody talking about the Zody chair for $75!!
    https://www.sustainableofficefurniture.com.au/our-range/prod…

    Office works sells these for over $800 new and my office just bought about 200 of them. It seems that these ones come from NAB.

    Bargain for $75, I bought two recently, much prefer these than the $200-$300 cheap chairs from Officeworks.
