Very Misleading

I was so excited to get this in the mail! I couldn't wait to have this chair assist me with having better posture. I am 5'8'' and 140lbs. The ball is tiny. It is not the size shown in the pictures AT ALL. I think the diameter is supposed to be about 21''- and it is actually about 16''. It looks a little silly because the whole chair is small- but that doesn't bother me. What DOES bother me is that each picture and video shows a MUCH larger excersize ball. I have owned excersize balls before, and i noticed when i pumped this one up that it was exceptionally small. I used my bike pump to get the most air possible in the ball. It is definitely pumped up all the way. The holding bar has no need to be there because the ball doesn't even touch it. The backing doesn't touch the ball either. The bottom holds the ball in place just fine, it doesn't sink into the hole. In the picture i provided, you can see this is the ball you REALLY get. This ball i received is NOT the one they used in the pictures and videos. I would be happy to keep the chair if i received the advertised product. I read other reviews that say this as well.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I really love this chair. My thighs and bottom get really tired of sitting even when just checking email. This chair makes sitting so much more enjoyable.

After sitting in a chair for the last 20 years I decided to give the Gaiam ball backless chair a try. I love it!! I love being able to wiggle around, bounce a little to change my sitting position. Would recommend this chair for anyone who sits for hours.

It was to be lime green according to all of the pictures even the box. It is an ugly surgical green. Also, it sits way too low.

The only chair that has provided some relief to my sciatica flair ups. I could not last more than 5 minutes in my old desk chair before being uncomfortable and in pain. It works for me, extremely glad I bought it.

This chair takes some getting to used to, but once you do, you'll never go back to using a regular chair. Relieves strain on the back, neck and shoulders. Helps improve balance. And just plain fun to sit on.
I would recommend this to a friend!
