    Office chair

    OK so maybe not that technical - but I need a new office chair for home office - I am big (6' plus) and heavy (16+ stone) so need a substantial and comfortable one - recommendations welcome.

    I have a pair of Herman Miller Mirra chairs, which I got on Ebay for £230 each, almost new.

    And as quite a few folks on the board can vouch, I am not small either. 6'2" and quite a bit heavier than you.
    Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

                    Herman Miller Mirra at my co office/lab, Herman Miller Aeron at client co office/lab.

                    Previous client used to have the cheap padded VDU user chairs which got very hot in summer in an office with no air con.

                    I got mine from a local secondhand office furniture place that also advertised on ebay for ~£300.
