I recently bought this chair. Once the ball was fully inflated, which took a day or so to completely expand, it fit well in the base. It's the right height for my 5'3" frame for my desk.
I would recommend this to a friend!

THE SPECS DO NOT TELL YOU ANYTHING USEFUL IN MAKING A DECISION REGARDING WHETHER OR NOT TO PURCHASE THIS ITEM. THIS PRODUCT IS FOR VERY SHORT PEOPLE OR CHILDREN, NOT NORMAL OR TALL ADULTS. THE SEAT HEIGHT IS TOO LOW. THE BACKREST IS UNCOMFORTABLE. IT IS HARD PLASTIC WITH NO PADDING. I AM 5'-8" TALL AND WEIGH 145# AND FOUND IT QUITE UNSTABLE TO MOVE AROUND ON. I AM NOT OVERWEIGHT! I HAVE NOTHING GOOD TO SAY ABOUT THIS PRODUCT.

No I don't love it. In fact I am not even using it . I read the hype and thought that it might be exactly what I was looking for, for setting in front of the computer for extended periods of time. The truth is, it is not what I had hoped for and in reality it is qutie uncomfortable Sorry!

I bought this chair a couple of weeks ago because I had been using a regular exercise ball to sit on at work and wanted something similar but on wheels. It is slightly lower than the ball that I was comfortable with but it is the correct height for keyboard work (using a keyboard tray), I sit a little low for desk writing but overall I am happy with it. It does need to have air added every 3 days or so and I use an electric air pump, so I know that I am getting proper inflation. I do feel the core strengthening that I get from using it. Overall I would recommend it.

I am 5"8 and this chair has recommendations from people taller than I am so I thought it would be great. It's not! I have to tuck my legs behind me and am almost sitting on my knees. It's been a big waste of money. I have ordered the 72 balancing ball in the hopes that it will help. As it has not arrived I can't tell you if it will work. All I can say is if your legs are longer than your body - this is not the chair for you.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not What I Hoped For

I was really excited about this chair, until it came. While it was easy to set up, the ball never got fully inflated. Mostly because the pump that comes with it is useless. I didn't pursue using my bicycle pump, because even at 75% inflated, I could tell this chair was not going to be high enough. I'm average height, about 5'6", but I felt like I was sitting in a little child's chair, with my chin on my desk. No way I could use this at my computer. I'm returning it.

Helps me to help my back!

I really like my BB chair. I sit up straight and my back feels the better for it! Strengthens the core too! I do wish that it came with two sets of wheels. One lockable and one set that is unable to lock. I find my wheels lock too often when I don't want them too and I get a bit frustrated. I was all set to order a different (second) color ball and see that there is only charcoal available now. What's up with that? I was hoping for bronze.
I would recommend this to a friend!
