Customer Reviews for Gaiam - Classic Balance Ball Chair - Ocean

I was having circulation problems with numbness in my extremities from sitting so much. Now that I've been using the chair, I've had immediate relief and pressure from my back and nerves and it seems to be calming down. My co-workers are all looking at purchasing one for themselves now and instantly like the relief when they try my chair!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I don't know where to begin. Obviously, Gaiam uses a 3rd party manufacturer for ball chairs and they slap a sticker on the ball and box and ship it out. Don't get me wrong, I don't really have a problem with that, what I do have a problem with is the COMPLETE lack of quality in what I received. First, I ordered a pump for $6, because my mistake, it comes with one! While I would normally not mind the accidental waste of $6, I do mind that one of them clearly had been assembled and used...and worse yet, to ensure it was included with my shipment (rather then ship it with the separate leg extenders????), someone LITERALLY TORE A HOLE IN THE BOX to shove the extra pump in!!! My God, and if you think that's awful, that was just the beginning. Long story short, it took me over an hour to put the chair together because NONE OF THE HOLES WERE FULLY DRILLED OUT! Yes, apparently this happens, Google confirmed I wasn't crazy, but that the holes for the back to be screwed in, and that goofy bar that sits in front of the ball were 100% blocked and not drilled out. Now, I do own a drill, and luckily, the appropriate bit sizes, but this is ridiculous that I had to machine my own parts to assemble the chair! If this is the standard of quality to which Gaiam attaches theirr name, I promise I won't ever be purchasing another item. I want everyone to know exactly the kind of inferior product that is sold for luxury brand prices! Unacceptable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I purchased the Classic Balance Ball Chair and Balance Disc in April for use in my office. I use them throughout the day and have noticed not only an improvement in posture, but reduced lower back pain. Due to a car accident more than 10 years ago, I couldn't exercise. After using these tools at work for six weeks, I began walking on a near daily basis. Today, I walked more than three miles. I'm thrilled, to say the least!

Nice chair but the ball is far too small for me to sit comfortably at my desk. Is it possible to return or exchange.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love the concept, but no one can see me behind my desk because you are 6 inches lower than a regular desk chair. I feel silly as I am the boss and I look like a small child lol. Ball chair now sits in the corner
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I needed a new chair at my office and my home office. After just one day, I immediately bought a second balance ball chair for my home office. I've since purchased a balance disk for those chairs I must sit on besides my office chair. So very comfortable! I had a fairly strong core prior to using this chair from practicing yoga but still notice a difference if I sit on it for several hours at a time. Everything I read before purchasing said you need to work up your time on any of the balance chairs/disks to condition your abs. I believe that is probably the case. I will always have this chair at my desk from now on!
I would recommend this to a friend!
