Mirra 2 Stool

I am not a large company, I am a private business owner. I bought the chair for my wife - who is a undergraduate student. Previously she was using a cheap "hobby lobby" stool. This chair is like a Cadillac. If I could recommend any changes it would be to the footrest (make it more like the Aeron stool's. otherwise, this is a perfect stool for long hours on a drafting table.

As a retired corporate manager, I've put a lot of hours living in office chairs. However, for my home PC kiosk, I needed a taller stool-style chair with the support and comfort of the real office piece. I tested numerous hybrid stools, but none really satisfied the requirements. The more modern-style pieces, which fit better in our home design, especially fell short of expectations. The Herman Miller online store provided the avenue to customize to exactly my needs, using the modern Mirra 2 core design. The custom build was surprisingly fast and delivered in perfect condition (just the right amount of packaging). Zero assembly required was a bonus, although usually no concern for me.

The stool is fantastic. First, it looks great. The detailing of finishes, the seating support fabric alignment and edging, and even every molded part fit/finish/smooth edges is top quality. As for comfort, this is a dream chair. The adjustable design puts just the right amount of variation in all the right places. For reference, my chair had the optional 1) adjustable arms, 2) FlexFront adjustable seat depth, and 3) lumbar support, listed in my order of preference and value judgment. The standard tilt limiter seems perfectly adequate for my needs. A surprise that I did not consider when ordering is the standard adjustable height foot rest ring. It is very easy to adjust, sturdy, and vitally important for comfort in that part of your body that you don't normally think of as involved in seating support (your feet are usually on the ground in a normal-height chair). The standard TriFlex 2 polymer back is very comfortable -- I feel no pressure points whatsoever.

I have used this stool several hours daily for nearly a month, and can honestly say that my initial wow assessment has not waned. Of course, long term durability is unknown at this point, but the quality of everything suggests it will be good. If I had to pick one design improvement, it would be for H-M to offer a light gray color in the hard surface quiet-roll caster option. It seems that most dust or other small particles on the floor are light colored and picked up on the rollers, which distract just a bit from the black roller appearance. A small nit-pick.

If you are undecided about the cost, my assessment is that this Mirra 2 stool has higher value to the user than any alternative I was able to find. (Again for reference, I am a medium build 6 ft - 160 lb early 60's age male.)

I received my Mirra stool and discovered one of the caster posts had snapped during shipping. Needless to say, after waiting two months for the stool I was quite bummed! A call into HM and a chat and picture sharing with Christopher moved me along to Stephanie. After conversation, a quick caster replacement and then more conversation it was determined that the chair was fine and the reorder was canceled. I was very impressed with both employees and am thrilled with my chair! I do have to be a little careful getting on as it moves VERY easily on my hardwood floor!

As a fellow Michigander, having grown up in Fremont, I am very happy with my purchase from a 'local' business!
