I'm 5'11" and initially bought the standard chair. Ended up buying the extensions and it made a huge difference. The chair is very comfortable. I haven't used it long enough to say more about it but it definitely seems very promising.
I bought this chair about a month ago and it is a very disappointing purchase. I am 5' feet and my legs and feet hurt a lot while sitting in the chair. Also it is too low and my arms get tired because the desks are usually high. I wish I could have returned it, but I don't have the box anymore.
I love this. It makes me sit straighter and I feel like my posture is better. The seat is maybe not as tall as my previous chair, but I'm not hitting the pull out keyboard with my knees anymore. (I'm 5'8") The back rest is very comfortable. The only reason I don't give this 5 stars is because the directions are horrible. It's simply a sheet of paper with pictures. It wasn't difficult to put together; it took me about 15-20 minutes.
I've always wanted to try one of these chairs and I am so happy with it. It is comfortable and easy to put together. I love it! Definitely get the leg extenders though
We have ordered these for our office and they are a hit!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased the ball chair about 2 months ago and I love it! I used to sit on a regular stability ball at work, but with me having to get up constantly it was inconvenient. Now with the ball chair I can easily slide back without having to re-adjust the whole ball! The only con about this product are the wheels- one broke already and customer service said they are out of stock and don't know when they will get more in. Maybe if the wheels were more sturdy they wouldn't break. Overall a great buy!
