So, people in my office wanted to try this chair. They love it, but it doesn't hold its air very well and needs to get repumped every now and then. The ball will stretch, eventually looking less like a ball, until you repump. They love it, but have only used it for a month. Definitely recommend trying it.
I work at a desk infront of a computer all day long. The ball chair helps maintain my back straight. I can get up easily. I love it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good for short periods

For short periods of time it is comfortable, but I do not recommend if you sit all day. This chair is way too short and requires the leg extenders - should be included with purchase!
The balance ball chair is a great idea but I think it would be much better if the air valve sealed like a basketball or a football. Maybe th design is to make sure one doesn't over inflate the product. As a senior citizen though, putting the pin in when using the large pump is awkward at best. Please consider a self-sealing valve for future production units. Thanks for listening to my comments. BTW I'm almost 75 yrs old (male) Change the valve an I will rate it "10"
I'm only about 5'2"" which is the low end of the range of height that they say is good for the chair so I can't use it at my desk. If I were taller I would use it more frequently at work. I ordered the 2" leg extenders and hopefully that will help. The balance disc has been a big help on my office chair as an alternative.
