Thought it would last longer

I am giving 3 stars because I really like the chair, yet I have had it for less than 6 months and the screw that holds the front metal bar in place has broken. I use the chair on a regular basis while sitting at my desk and enjoy the comfort and flexibility.
I would recommend this to a friend!

My only problem was in not having enough info on blowing up the ball. I thought I had received the wrong ball. The concept of blowing it up gradually over a weeks time is missing. Other than that, I love using the chair.

Will work for petite people

I was excited when I found out about the chair; my only reservation was that I am only 5 feet tall (just) and I was not sure whether it would actually work at my desk. I took the advice off the website and I measured the height of my current chair and found that the Balanceball might work after all. Well, I've had the ball for several weeks now, and it is amazing. If you are petite and you follow the manufacturer's instructions, the ball does blow up quite big and you can adjust the height quite easily. I'm still able to sit properly on it and work at my desk with no problems.

I work at a desk all day. Hard to get up and move around, with this chair my movement has improved! Easier to get up, my back is better, I feel like I am getting exercise even as I sit at my work station. I would highly recommend this chair for other stuck at a desk persons!

Won't last forever

I've been using this chair at work for about 3 years now and my back approves. I can't use any other chair now. However the plastic base is suffering from the constant use. The front bar that holds the ball in place has broken from stress and the plastic is where it attaches is now ovaled out. Now when I scoot around I have to hold the ball in place or it pops out. On occasion sending the chair flying out from under me. I've learned to make it work but it would be nice to see some better construction. Also the chair is noisy. If there where a soft lining on the back of the chair to not make the ball rub it would be silent.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love how it automatically works my core and I don't even realize it! My back was a little sore after the first day, but only because it's building up strength. Love it!

I love this chair. It's more comfortable than I imagined it would be. The wheels work great and you can get around nicely in it. I don't use the back rest too often, but when I do it's nice to have. I do notice my posture is better! It's a little lower than my old office chair, but I think it fits my desk perfectly. I am so glad I went with this chair.
