I haven't used a Herman Miller chair, so I don't claim to understand why they are popular, but from a purely aesthetic view of the world, that is a very nice looking chair.

Can someone enlighten me as to what the big deal is about Herman Miller chairs?

Not totally sure either, but my best guess is they're aesthetically pleasing and supposedly ergonomically great, which is I guess appreciated amongst the crowd that spends all day sitting in front of them.

They seem to have a fair amount of research to back up their ergonomics (see this blog post regarding Aeron chair design: http://www.hermanmiller.com/research/solution-essays/the-ben...)

when the aeron first came out it was panned as being ugly fwiw.

Looks like a less expensive version of the Embody, which is a good thing. I've got an Embody at home and at work and won't sit in anything else.

I think this will be a good replacement for all those Areons out there. Attractive, cheaper, and likely better quality. It seems like a winner for them.

We had a few Herman Miller chairs in our office and are now switching exclusively to them for our new digs. The reason is that despite having bought our current chairs on eBay, HM upheld their 12 year warranty and fixed any and all issues that we encountered over the past few years. That level of service has made me a convert for life!

I sit on the Embody too, man is it a choice ride. Wife has a Mira and loves it. I had an Aeron for a dozen years prior, and they are OK, but the Mirra is more comfortable. The new one looks fantastic.

They are comfortable and extremely high quality. Not to mention the aesthetics. Cheap chairs break, and even worse they break "slowly" with weird tilts and whatnot that creep in slowly.

My first Aeron lasted 12 years of my use. The hydraulics finally died, but my son uses it now ^^
