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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Nuts were metric measurement & did not match w/bar
We got 4 of these balance ball chairs for our team. Only one of them came in the right size, the other 3 came way too small, they seem to be children size. Very disappointing. :(
I am returning this product If I use it with ball sent, it is well below normal chair height and I look like a small child behind my desk. If I use a larger ball, I am too tall. I am returning the chair. I am terribly underwhelmed and disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not indestructible; not eco-friendly

My husband loved it--except it was too short. And then my cat decided she wanted to claw the seat. Poof! Bye-bye "indestructible" balance ball! Now I have the seat, no ball and what am I to do with it? It's NOT made of recyclable plastic! More junk for the landfill. WHY did I buy this?
