Shots fired. The war is on. That’s what I could not stop thinking about as I was assembling the UpDown Ergo Elite in my home office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every part I lifted out of the box gave me a case of d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only because I’ve assembled 25+ chairs over the past 5 years (and sometimes every chair part looks the same), but because the parts reminded me of a chair I’m familiar with – my current favourite mid-range ergonomic chair<\/a>, the ErgoTune Joobie<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

UpDown partnered with ErgoTune’s supplier to bring a nearly-identical competitor to market. But it differs in a few important ways I’ll talk about in a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 Things I Love About The UpDown Ergo Elite.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Ergo Elite pleasantly surprised me. I was expecting another me-too ergonomic chair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I saw was a legitimate contender for my “best office chair in Australia” award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Above: The UpDown Ergo Elite cuts a handsome shape. Broad angled edges at shoulder level contrast nicely with curves in the seat and the armcaps.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On first impression, the Ergo Elite is a remarkably comfortable chair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I find that the first time you lower yourself into any chair, you immediately register either a “hmm, not sure about this” or a “hell yeeeees” type of experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ergo Elite belongs in the latter camp for sure.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The bucket design has a contoured seat and backrest, and these add up to make you feel cradled – almost hugged – from all sides. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

15 adjustment points make it easy to find your ideal ergonomic position. You get everything you’d expect at this price point:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
