I love the concept of the stability ball in the chair; however, it sits way too low for me to work comfortable at my desk. I ordered the extensions; however, it still sits a little low. It would be nice if the chair was somehow adjustable like a regular office chair.
It was easy to put together and is very space efficient. I would not say it was the most comfortable chair in the world, however I don't believe it was designed to be. I enjoy the balance chair for many reasons. It provides an easy opportunity to stretch my hips and hamstrings while behind the desk with out it becoming obvious to the others in the office. I also like it because it helps with my posture. I would recommend it to anyone, young or old.
The chair is started out pretty comfortable, but it has now aggravated my sciatic nerve so I'm going back to my regular task chair. Wish it had worked for me.
I have had this chair at my office for almost a month now and I do find it has helped me with my posture and also has strengthened my core and back. I was disappointed with the extenders as I see other reviewers were as well. They are not enough for anyone approaching 6 feet tall. I could easily use twice the extension offered. Nonetheless, I continue to sit on the chair every day for the entire workday.
My daughter came by saw the chair and loved it. However, she was afraid that if she bought one she would spend too much time playing with it and not enough time working.
I've been having lower back issues for about 6 weeks an a friend told me to try this product. However it didn't help me at all. It made the pain in my lower back worse. So then I talked with my physical therapist about it and he said it wouldn't work for me because basically my core is broke and this ball is to help strengthen your core.
I have only had this product a week and I really can tell a difference it makes while sitting long periods of time. I was having issues with the sciatic nerves in my hip and side area, and I would get stiff at times. I can tell a big difference now I don't get stiff and I am able to move more without any pain.
i sit at a desk all day. this chair is very uncomfortable. it gives me pain in my knees and lower back. do not recommend for long term sitting. sitting surface is limited.
