Try the Herman Miller Mirra, it's a lower chair in their line but the back structure makes it far superior to the Aeron.

I've read that the plastic chair back feels good at first, but gets uncomfortable. I seem to recall something about H.M. listing it as rated for three hours (?), making it a "task" chair rather than a "work" chair (if I understand the nomenclature). What's your experience been with it?

I have been using a Mirra fulltime for more than 2 years. When my former employer was getting new offices and furniture, I piggybacked on their chair order so I could get a discount on two chairs for the home office.

I now work from home and think it was one of the best investments I've made in myself. The chair is very comfortable and they adjust very well for tall or very short people (my wife).

Thanks for that.

Can you compare it to any other chairs? Most of us (myself included, with the Aeron) love their first ergo-chair, making it hard to compare them. :-)

In the past I have used an Aeron for about a year. The Mirra comes very close to the adjustability and I would say is just as comfortable.
