I bought this chair a few weeks ago. It came quickly and I was extremely excited to open the box! I was a bit skeptical when I open the box that everything would be there because the box was smaller than I thought it would be. But everything was there and the chair went together very quickly, to my surprise. The ball inflated very nicely and extremely easily. The moment I sat on it I knew this was the right chair for me! Not only does it help me with my posture (as I slouch all the time), but it is extremely comfortable to sit on! The wheels on the bottom make moving around my little office area easy and convenient. I would totally recommend this chair to everyone!

This chair has been a great addition to the office. I'm working on my posture in ways I didn't think were possible while seated. I work in a teen room at a public library, and both the kids and their parents are loving the sensation of sitting in this chair!

The chair needs to be adjustable for height.

My friend has one of these chairs and she loves it. I tried it and thought it would work for me at my desk but it is too short. I would like it more if I could adjust the height. My back and legs don't hurt when I get up but I get fatigued sitting there for very long.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Overall, I am pleased with the chairs we have ordered. Easy to assemble and seem sturdy. The back support isn't the sturdiest but that's not the true intent of the product anyway. I have the back off of mine and enjoy the ability to some ab work whenever I want to. The first workout you will get with the chair is inflating the ball with the included pump; it takes a minute.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This chair has made me much more aware of my posture which is helping to alleviate the pain in my lower back. Also works my legs.

I have been suffering with degenerative disk disease in my lumbar spine for about two years. I tried elevating my workstation and standing for a year, but that did not help my condition and was ultimately not recommended by my physical therapist. It was suggested by my massage therapist (I have a lot of therapists in my life) that I try a balance ball chair. Although there are other chairs on the web, I decided to go with Gaiam because of their guarantee and I was already familiar with the company. The chair was very simple to put together. I have been using the chair exclusively at my desk for about 3 weeks. It has been really good for me. I certainly do a lot less slouching. I like being able to change the position of my legs easily. I can easily drop my knees toward the floor and sit almost frog style. I also think this chair helps maintain a natural curvature of the spine, which is very important and can be compromised in many chairs. I was worried about not having arm rests - I think it's better without the arm rests. I haven't had any real trouble with the wheels, which other reviewers mentioned. One of my wheels clicks sometimes, but that is it. I basically blitzed my back condition over the last two months with a new inversion table, new balance ball chair, new physical therapist and new massage therapist. My back is significantly better. I wish I could point to one thing and say it was the answer, but I can't. For me, the balance ball chair is one piece of the puzzle that has helped me become more pain free than I have been in two years. I am delighted and thankful.
