Eliminates the Slouch Factor

Sitting in this chair makes it very hard for me to unconsciously slouch forward while working on the computer. I also have chronic hip pain and fibromyalgia, and this chair makes it possible for me to sit comfortably enough to work on the computer for twice as long as I could in my expensive ergonomic chair. I hope anyone who has pain while sitting tries out this chair--it's worth the money! The only con is that my feet sometimes hit the castor locks so I'm surprised when it won't roll for me...this is minor, and is probably because I move my feet around a lot more than most people while sitting. Overall, this is a great invention.
I would recommend this to a friend!

When looking at the dimensions listed for the chair, it was not clear that they measurements were for the back of the chair height, not the front of the chair. I have a unusually high desk at work and the chair is lower than I anticipated.

You can feel your core working throughout the day when you're in an office type setting. Especially when sitting directly in the middle of the ball. What I like is sitting on the back of the ball (by the back rest), as it helps your posture. You're body is leaning back slightly, so you find yourself not slouching as much.

Disappointment

I had ordered one of these chairs before and was extremely happy. The new chair has a slightly different design and the ball squeaks. One of the casters never worked properly as the chair did not roll on my mat (my first chair rolls smoothly) and then the caster broke. Can't use the chair as don't know where to get a replacement caster. I've recommended this chair to several people in the past, but won't recommend again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this chair to use at my desk. It is much too low for this. I am very disappointed . I'm not sure what else I can use this chair for.

My product came VERY early and surprisingly so! It takes off the weight on my hips while seated and provides exceptional exercise availability that coordinates with my limitations.

I bought this chair after using my boss' for a couple of days - my shoulders were hurting, and I had suspected it was because I was spending the day hunched over in my office chair in front of a computer. One day on this chair, and my shoulder and upper back pain was gone. I bought my own, and I love it. I even stand up and walk with better posture now.
I would recommend this to a friend!
