    Got a 2nd hand Herman Miller Mirra chair (ex office) for £200. Wouldn't use anything else.

    Brand new, they will set you back £900:

      Did you guys get to try the chair from anywhere before you bought?

        Had one for three months or so. Love it. When WFH I can stand all day quite happily now, totally knackered me when I first tried to do it It has resolved some RSI I was getting in my right forearm, yeah I know. Lower back pain reducing too. Well worth the money.

        Been using these for about seven years now, get a second hand one from eBay every time. I often do 14 hours at the PC a day and in any other chair my back was giving me grief within a week or two of using them. They are superb chairs.

        Actually, it's the Aeron I have!

          Went to Margolis furniture and had a look at a second hand Aeron. Didn't buy it because it wasn't that much cheaper than new. http://www.margolisfurniture.co.uk. Herman Miller have a showroom on Aldwych. Not sure if you can walk in or not.

                Another +1 for HM Aeron.

                  Another +1 to this. The only slight niggle with them is the column ends very close to the floor so if you have thick underlay/carpet the column can drag.

                    You can expense a chair through your company?
