I bought this chair ball in March and really liked it. I ordered a second one and received last week. I am disappointed and dissatisfied with the one I just received, it is much smaller and not usable. Actually my co-worker asked me to buy two more for them but I don't trust GAIAM because of this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I'm an overweight middle aged man and the chair was ok for about 20 minutes at a time. After the third time sitting on it in 3 days, I've developed a pain in my hip that is nearly debilitating - going to the doctor to get some xrays. I'm not 100% sure it was this chair that caused my problems but seems like it was. My 13-year-old daughter loves the chair so it found a good home.

I have had this chair for a couple of weeks. All the nuts keep falling off the side attachments and the back support has lost its attachments as well. Only one is left. It isn't very well made with pieces that randomly come off.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not what I hoped for

I am sadly disappointed in this chair. I was excited about using it and will give it a bit more time to adjust, but my initial reaction is disappointed. I do not see how this can accommodate up to someone who is 5'11". I am 5'8" and think it is much too short. My knees feel like they are at my chin, making it uncomfortable. I can see how it would help my back, but I don't know if I can tolerate the 'lowness' enough. The ball is fully inflated. Overall, sad.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The chair was surprising not useful as a desk chair. It is too low. It is too small.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Wrong Sized Ball Packaged

I bought this chair and finally assembled it, but when I inflated the ball it was only about half the size it needed to be to fill the chair. In all the pictures the ball is much larger than the one I received, and I own another of these and it has a larger ball than this one has. I can't recommend a product that has such reckless QA problems.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My chair is less than an hour out of the box and I am loving it already. I've had back problems for the last 34 years, and with my new job, am working from home much more, so sitting in my old traditional chair was nearly torture. The Balance Ball Chair went together very easily (not something I had to wait for my husband to come home from work and put together) and I've already tried out a few of the exercises in the information book. I'm very happy to have received the bonus kit, as the corporate monster that bought my local gym ended up closing it, so I have no excuses not to move anymore. I'm at a stage in life where I realize that I have to care for my health more diligently, so aside from being a way of sparing my back, I'm looking forward to getting some good workouts in with the chair and resistance band.
I would recommend this to a friend!
