The chair needed a week of increased air volume. I have no problem with the leg locks. The plastic structure is very sturdy and secure. The back rest is really a handle for the workout. I get significant low back relief on this ball chair especially after time in the "decliner". My upper back is getting stronger and the burn is reducing. It is great right now at a card table, or just watching the tube. I'm not working so I don't spend many hours plugged into the chair at the computer. Just sitting on it makes me sit up straight ( I need that) and strengthen Abs is always good. Be clear on what your need is and add more air until it is firm. Namaste
I would recommend this to a friend!

A friend of mine at work purchased one of these exercise ball chairs. After suffering with two bulging disks in my back my office chair was causing me unbearable pain. It was a very expensive name brand "ergonomic" chair. When my friend was on vacation she told me to try her chair. From the first minute of sitting on it, I did not have any pain. I went home that night and ordered the ball chair from Gaiam. The delivery was very fast. I got the chair on 9/7/12 and sat on it all last week. It forced me to sit with good posture. My back did not hurt at all sitting on it. I have noticed a big change in my posture now as well. I loved it so much i ordered a second ball chair for my home. I will not sit on anything else. This is a great product! Customer service is also great for this company. I had a small error on my 2nd order and they immediately corrected it.
I bought this several weeks ago as I was interested in strengthening my core. It is the greatest purchase that I've made in quite a while..I'm definitely less tired.Can't say enough good things. Also frees up space after removing large desk chair
I have been using this classic balance ball chair for a week. I am so happy to have this instead of my old uncomfortable chair that hurt my back. I bought the blue chair/ball and I like the color a lot. This chair shipped promptly and was easy to assemble. I am very pleased with this chair!
After using this great chair for many months, I had a problem with the base that failed and I reached out with my problem and was very greatful to a fast correction and full replacement of their product. A+ for customer service
I would recommend this to a friend!

I just received my chair and I love the chair but the air pump is really cheap. I went to add a little air to the ball and the pump already broke. Not sure what went wrong but it won't inflate the ball any more.
I had been suffering from back pain for about a year and my old desk chair was not helping. I have had this balance ball chair for 3 weeks now and it has helped me immensely. I would recommend this chair to anyone.

I am a third grade teacher and I don't sit much, but when I do i am still moving around. I love that this ball keeps me from slouching and allows me to move while still reaching all students.
