Just got my Balance Ball Chair

I was so excited that I got my new chair today, it only took 5 days to get here. It was very easy to assemble and only two of the casters are locking so I put them on the back (won't accidentally flip in the lock position). It was a bit of an arm work out inflating the ball to 22 inches but I am a 55 year old woman so not a big deal. When I put the ball in the chair part it was way too high at what I had inflated it to so after releasing a lot of air I was able to sit in it with my legs at a 90 degree angle as in the picture and immediately I felt a great shift in my back and posture. I have a painful condition in my lower back called Spinal Stenosis and all desk chairs hurt my back and cause me to lean forward. I think this is going to be the right one finally. I am so excited that I wanted to share with anyone considering it. Excited to try the exercises too! Will write an update after using it for awhile. I also included a picture of my chair on my Gaiam rug that I bought a couple of months ago and love.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love this chair~

I've used a balance ball for years to exercise but never thought about a Balance Ball Chair. Awesome! Not only is the Balance Ball Chair really comfortable, but I absolutely love the fact that I can take short, but frequent breaks and get in some exercise and stretching without going too far from my work space. After using the Balance Ball Chair for a few weeks, I feel like I'm definitely sitting up straighter while working and when not sitting at my desk as well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I think the wheels could be a little sturdier, or at least roll better, especially since I have a chair matt over the carpet. I guess it does the job that I want it to - make my body support itself more than my office chair does. I have only used it 2 days now, but I do believe that my hips feel a little better (can't tell because my butt was a little sore yesterday from sitting on the ball...).

This chair is perfect! It's much more comfortable than a typical office chair, it's a great height for me (I am 5ft 6in).

just a thought

If you use the metal wire in front of the chair to slide it (while getting up off the chair to move it) and sit back down before you have moved your fingers, be careful! ...your fingers may get squeezed between the ball and wire. The chair is a bit low, however, it may be possible to purchase wheels with a longer insert???
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Realizing that, as a first year law student, I spend a good ten hours a day in my chair I decided to do my body a favor and invest in this chair. This is probably one of the wisest decisions I have ever made. From eight-hour take home finals, to twelve-hour study marathons, to chair-raving to trance electronica: this chair can take it all and give love & peace back. Gaiam, any GPA points over 3.0 I owe (in part) to you.
