Everyone in my family finds this chair both uncomfortable and far too short for any desk or table in the house. Cheap, plastic base makes it a bit of an eyesore as well. The shipping is pricey, so it's not really worthwhile to return this item.
Sitting in an office chairs hurts my lower back. The Balance Ball Chair saves my back from pain, engages my core and improves my posture while sitting.
keeps me sitting straight and hope that it is toning my abs at the same time. so comfortable, don't feel any strain or need to readjust my stance. hope it lasts forever!
This chair has been in constant use since I bought it! Everyone wants to try it. At least one person bought it for his wife for Christmas. I feel so relaxed when the work day is over. Buying a second one for home.
This is my 3rd ball chair. One of the weak componets has always been the wheels. I have needed to replace them on both prior chairs. They simply wear out and won't turn. These seem to be a better quality. Another weak componet has always been the wire bale used to hold the ball in place. They always break, I was surprised to see the design was changed back to this style after my last chair had been redesigned to eliminate this wire bale. Another improvement is the ball is made of a textured softer rubber. No more squeeky noises! I love the fun new color Wasabi!
I would recommend this to a friend!

So I was at first let down with the small ball provided with the chair. The insert said it would stretch to the right size but I was more then skeptical. My desk is actually very short so I didnt mind the low chair. But now that it is stretched to full capacity it fills the chair completely and is quite tall. So just give it a month of stretching/filling and you will be amazed. I give you my word.
