Home office chairs

That organised mess would drive me mad! Couldn’t work in a room like that without tidying and putting everything away properly on in nice boxes!

It's better now, most of it was the wife's stuff and that's her organised mess I wasn't allowed to touch! haha

That's not a mess, that's tidy compared to mine

What's the difference between a Mirra & a Mirra 2, apart from £150?

Nothing that I could discern, a slight update? I don’t think the company I used had the 2 at the time. You could email corporate spec and asked, they were very responsive

@vickster there is a great second hand office equipment shop near Wimbledon Chase station - not far from you!

I've bought from there many times over the past 25 years - chairs, plan chests, filing cabinets, desks - all top brands and top quality. He seems to have a deal with office clearance people who drop off loads on a random basis, but often he has a good range of quality office chairs mostly in near perfect condition

Yep I actually bought my last chair there (now with my brother). They were shut during lockdown, hence buying online

The Mirra 2 is a smaller frame, lighter and uses more fabric.

Ordered a Mirra chair on the strength of this thread, but I'm finding that it is sinking very slowly, takes about a week, to get from the height I set it to getting to the bottom, anyone else noticed this, pretty sure when we had these chairs years ago in another company they never sunk, or am I using rose tinted glasses?

Have you put on weight in the intervening years?

Sometimes happens with my Aeron.

Sometimes doesn't. Odd.

Daughter is prime suspect.

Possibly, probably, but not convinced that is the issue.

Nobody home apart from the wife, the cat & the dog, but I don't suspect any of them

Mine has never done this - if it is under warranty I would contact them. IIRC they have a very long warranty.

That's what I thought, hence why I was asking it anyone else has experienced it

No issue with the refurbed one I bought in lockdown (and I'm certainly not light). Sounds like an issue with yours
