I bought this chair last week and the transition from my old office chair to this comfortable balance ball chair was very easy! I don't slouch anymore and I feel more awake. It's a bit pricey but It was definitely worth it in the long run. It's the best chair for the office, especially when you are sitting for a majority of the work day.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great chair with the correct ball

I have purchased two of these chairs for myself and a company that I worked for purchased 10 more for people to try out. I personally purchased a third chair and decided to get a different color ball. I have always had the standard charcoal ball but this time I purchased a blue ball. The blue ball was more like the larger/softer exercise ball in my work out room and did not work for me in this chair. It is much larger than the charcoal ball and I feel unsafe on it. In my opinion the blue ball does not fit the base. I was also quite surprised to essentially get a 'different' product than I have received in the past by simply choosing a different color ball. The charcoal ball is smaller and firmer, when I scoot forward the ball does not roll out of the base. The blue ball was larger and softer, the fit in regards to the back rest and the way it sits in the base was not comfortable for me. When I scoot forward the ball rolls nearly rolls out of the base. If you want the larger/softer ball I would suggest buying the alternate chair base. I have tried the larger ball in that other base and it seemed like a good fit. I am swapping out the ball and once the hassle of the reship and return is over I am sure I will be just as happy with this chair as I am with he others that I own. I have not had any quality issues with the chair and charcoal ball. I own multiple and have had them for years.

Great idea, cheap plastic

I really like the idea of the Balance Ball Chair system and even ordered two in the belief that one would solve my husband's back aches from sitting at a painting easel. I only assembled one chair and used it for about three days. While working in my office and rolling between the computer, printer and file cabinet, the cheap plastic on the "legs" collapsed so that the casters ground to halt (scraping my new floor) and I sprawled on the floor. So I'm sending both back. Let me know if you ever decide to make the chair out of something more durable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
