Things are beginning to break! I am not a "hard use" sitter, but I do use it five days a week for 8 hours. It is comfortable and I do feel like it helps with my back issues. But the castor wheels are always locked, and the most recent issue I have is that the metal bar in front to hold the ball in place broke. Right above where the nut attaches the bar to the chair. I wouldn't mind so much, but I cannot find a replacement part. As a result my ball tends to try to roll out of the chair. Other than the parts holding up, I have enjoyed this chair very much.
I work in an office 45+ hours a week, as well as take classes online, so my back is always unhappy at the end of the day. I've seen such an improvement in my posture and pain levels since getting this chair. I was skeptical, but many of us in the office now own one. I even bought gaiam's ball to replace the one my boss had because hers was much too large to be comfortable. I'm glad I made the switch!
didnt come with the plastic popped out of the holes so tried to push it thru with a screw driver didnt work so this chair unfortunately isnt being used

Overall good, but issue with the ball

I have had this chair for a few weeks now. Overall I love it because it looks super cute and more importantly, it really improves my sitting posture. However, I feel that my ball is leaking air -- after a whole day of sitting on the ball, the amount of air gradually goes down so I would have to pump it up almost every day in the morning.
I wasn't too sure about this chair when I made the purchase, but then minute I sat down on it I knew it was a good find. It's comfortable and I don't even think about the fact that I'm sitting on a ball!
This is our third Balance Ball Chair in our office. We are extremely satisfied. My chair was the first one purchased for the office and I have had my chair for at least seven years and am still loving it! Still looks like new! Quality is outstanding!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I ordered the gray chair and like how the ball and chair match, and they go with my gray desk. It's comfortable and easy to use. The legs stick out a little bit, making it a tight fit in the space under my desk.
This chair was easy to assemble and easy to get used to. Everyone in my office had tried it and we all agree its wonderful. Can't wait to experience less back pain sitting correctly.
