            @SneezyTang: can't remember exactly but mirra 2 can be as low as 500, and aeron/embody still above 1k mark. AFAIK, all tagged price are negotiable

      I agree $1300 is a lot and too much for me, but if you are sitting on the same chair for work several days a week it is going to take more than $100 for decent comfort and back support. There is quite a bit of variation among chairs.

    • HPdeskjet on 07/11/2022 - 22:04

      $1300 for a chair is better than back damage few decades down the line.

    This chair (brand) gave me ischial bursitis, a better version of this chair is in our office. I have no idea what's so special about it. Go for it if you think it's a deal. I normally post stuff that I buy lol

    • merajaan on 08/11/2022 - 09:54

      Suffering with the exact same conditon! And I have had a Herman Miller chair for the last five years

      • sqheaven on 08/11/2022 - 10:06

        It took me two years to finally be able to sit 😂

        I bought a standing desk (Desky) in the beginning of COVID-19, Jan2020.

        Standing more, sitting less.

        You'd be surprised I have an IKEA Markus and their 10$ memory foam cushion 😂 Poor man's setup. I have not been to work for 2.5 years and I don't want to, I can't afford another episode of bursitis. Duck working from office.

        • danwylie on 08/11/2022 - 10:02

          The top rated chair in that list is currently available used for $75 if you're in Melbourne. I got one the other day and it seems good. I don't have much to compare it to though, my last chair I found next to a dumpster and carried it home on my bike.

            @danwylie: Wonder if they would ship cheaply to nsw. Have sent them a message enquiring but not expecting anything super cheap.

            Seems like a great price to try it if not mind the NAB colours!

    • thesainter on 07/11/2022 - 19:27

      I think its their the best looking chair, and have no complaints with my high back version, its design philosophy is to be simple/elegant and has very little adjustment except up/down. Using a auto adjusting mechanism for the tilt

      So its for a niche use case, and while comfortable, I think the Aeron is even more comfortable.

    • Spizz on 07/11/2022 - 20:05

      Stick with the Aeron. Still the best out of the lot IMO.

          Chair arrived this morning, have to say that I’m really happy with the purchase so far. It really has you sitting in a good posture strait away..
          Much better then a standard chair, and the gaming chair I tested in the $700-950 range.
          And only comes in 4 pieces that only took a minute to put together

    Very comfortable chair for all day use, and is a simple one lever mechanism.

    Happy to answer any questions, I purchased for over $2k last year, so this is a very very good price imo.

    • abuch47 on 07/11/2022 - 20:28

      How is it for lounging in?

      • Andrewskates on 07/11/2022 - 21:26

        you can slouch down into it, but like most ergo chairs it's no lounge chair.

        • abuch47 on 07/11/2022 - 22:17

          How stiff is the leaf arm frame?

          • Andrewskates on 08/11/2022 - 08:48

            @abuch47: The arm has some small give where you can flex it slightly, but they do stay in place and don't have any adjustable movement.
            The mesh is surprisingly softish - it wont chafe skin. Quite cushiony.

            • abuch47 on 08/11/2022 - 09:56

              @Andrewskates: I have an aeron classic B which is not half bad for lounging in but the cosm sounds better

    Have this in meeting room and Aero at desk. Very comfy if you only sitting in it for a short amount of time. It's lacking all sorts of adjustments and the firmness to support a good posture. If you want something to sit your ass for more than 3 hours a day, then I would say even a gaming chair is better.

    Herman Miller chairs are awesome chairs. I manged to picked up couple from my office recently when they shut down a branch & honored for employees. Personally if I spend this much money to a chair, I have to re-think but well worth for each $.

  • profane01 on 07/11/2022 - 21:22

    We have these at work and I prefer the much cheaper chairs. They don't have much movement up and down, maybe 10cm. When you lower it to the lowest setting (which seems quite high) it squeaks like crazy. The armrests move very easily, so if you try adjusting yourself in the seat and accidentally push on the armrest they will slip outwards (I mean who would want their armrest facing outward at 45 degrees anyway?). Just a over complicated chair with not many pros for my liking.

    Herman Miller have a 12 year warranty on the Aeron which is valid for up to 3 moves.

    However, how many farts are the chairs warranted for against smells, if at all? PFFT!

    Also, the charcoal seems like the best buy as charcoal gets rid of smells and odors?
