Ellie by 9to5 Seating offers a more enclosed chair shape for school study rooms, staff collaboration spaces and reception areas. Mid-back and high-back versions share an upholstered shell and integrated arms, allowing schools to choose the level of back coverage that suits each location. The chair can support a quieter reading corner or a small discussion setting.
Base selection changes both the appearance and the way the chair works. The five-star model offers adjustable height with rocking and swivel functions. Four-star and wire-base versions use a fixed seat height with their corresponding swivel and upright tilt-lock mechanism. Choose the base for the intended activity, floor surface and surrounding table height.
