I have had my Balance Ball Chair for 2 and 1/2 years now and I can't imagine life before I had it! At the time that I purchased it, I was having some dull pain in my hips and hip flexors. A trainer had suggested getting a chair that would help with my posture at work. I work at a call center and my job requires me to sit in front of a computer for 8 hours straight. When I sit in normal office chairs I cannot seem to sit appropriately with both feet flat on the floor and straight spine. I always feel the need to cross my legs or even worse sit on one or both of my feet/legs in an "indian style" position. The Balance Ball Chair helps with that! You can still cross one leg under the other which I find myself doing sometimes, but I have certainly never tried crossing both legs and sitting "indian style" on it!! I have not had hip problems since purchasing the chair, and now I am considering buying one for home since I am now finding myself studying more at home recently!! I would highly recommend this chair to anyone who has to sit for extended amounts of time. My co-workers find it intimidating and think that they will fall off, but it is very difficult to fall off of this chair. I even find that I can do some back/hip exercises and stretches while sitting on the ball at my desk and yes, even sometimes while talking on the phone!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Please be aware that the size of the ball is actually 17" only and not the 22" as advertised. 22" is when it includes the base so it seats very low and cannot be used against a normal working desk, only as an exercise chair.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

losing air

this product worked very well, until it started losing air. It lost it rather quickly and ended up flat. When we tried to pump the air into it, air started seeping out around the plug.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Sit on this from 9 to 2 Monday through Friday and it is doing exactly as I had hoped...I am sitting up straighter and engaging my core more.
I would recommend this to a friend!
