This chair was very easy to put together. I did have to make several adjustments to the inflation of the ball to be sure my hips and knees were on the same level, but it was not a problem to do that. I plan on using the chair at my computer desk at home and hope it will help me to strengthen my core muscles which in turn will improve my lower back stability. It does help me sit up straighter and not slouch as much! I've noticed only one slightly, but very minor, thing about the chair and that is it doesn't roll away from the desk real easily as I want to get up (chair is on thicker home carpeting). All in all, I do think this is a great chair.
A couple of people in my office have this chair and I decided to try one as well, and I love it!. It was easy to put together. It's light weight so it rolls from my desk to the table easily. I do believe it is helping my posture and reducing stress on my lower back.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great chair

I love this chair, it keeps my core active all day. The ball takes a while to get filled up when you first get it, which means you must pump it up a little more each day until it is filled. Once it is filled then it is the perfect height to work on my computer all day. I have had the chair for months and have not had to refill it. It is not the type of chair you are going to sit back and relax in. I love it.
I bought this chair and loved it but the metal wire that keeps the ball in place broke after 2 months and I have not been able to find replacement hardware.
I bought this chair after seeing it at my friend's house. My friend loved it and recommended it to me. The ordering was fast and it was delivered in no time. The assembly was easy, no chart was necessary. I had to pump the ball twice, just like it was recommended in instructions. I use this chair at work and very pleased with the it.: I can exercise my belly muscles, legs and the back. Even my coworkers have a ball with it!!!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great except for brakes

This chair is great for posture etc. but the brakes keep flipping down into the lock position and it is annoying. I have already modified one roller and now have to do the other 3 to keep it rolling. They should offer a model without brakes
I bought my chair about 2 weeks ago and it has definitely helped me with circulation. I am 62 and I love it, I wish I could of ordered the one with arms but was not available on your web site
