The ball, dvd, bands are great. The chair itself is not of the highest quality. The concept is excellent but the chair didn't meet my expectations. Even though I got a chair mat, the rollers did not roll easily. I couldn't keep it because my desk job requires a lot of rolling back and forth. I was offered a new set of rollers but I don't believe it would have made a difference -- for me. I do have to say customer service was outstanding on this. No questions asked and was an easy and effortless return. I will never hesitate to purchase anything because of great customer service like this!
My students love having these chairs in class. They usually are getting to class fast so that they can sit in them. I also do not see a lot of bouncing like I thought.
Love my new chair. Great price, too! I have been having hamstring problems that are exacerbated by sitting at my desk at work. With the new chair, my symptoms are now nearly non-existent. I "bounce" thru the day!
Look if your back is sore this isn't for you. If you have a weak core, work on your core strength before getting one of these. If your back is healthy and your core is being maintained through core training this is a great addition to your core strength program.
I've been using the ball chair for just over a week now and I LOVE IT! I truly don't ache at the end of the day from sitting so much. I find myself randomly stretching during the day and just moving more than one would sitting in a regular chair. Just the little bouncing motion feels so good.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I absolutely love my new chair. It was easy to put together and is quite a topic of conversation at my office. My posture has already improved and my back pain has diminished considerably. Not only is it functional and practical, it is fun to sit on. Have had no problems with the wheels as stated in other reviews and would not hesitate to get another one for my home office as well. 5 stars for sure!
