This chair was a great purchase. It really makes you aware of your posture. It also makes me remember to take a break from the computer and do some stretching in between. You can't go wrong with this purchase - better than a regular office chair. Very comfy.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have been having lower back pain and sit most of the work day at my desk. in addition to getting a standing desk, i bought the balance ball chair and really like it. it forces you to sit straight, which at first is actually quite hard and my back felt really tired at the end of the day. only used it for 1 week at work now, but really think this will make a big difference.

Just put my balance ball chair together today! Love the chair but came with metric nuts. Takes 1/4" nuts for those out there that may experience this too. But otherwise, I am SO excited for this chair! And what a great deal too (have you seen the price of office chairs these days??). I'm a firm believer in getting the most from even the smallest exercises which is easily accomplished by a balance ball that requires tons of muscles to keep stable... plus my back feels so much better already just sitting! :)

The plastic frame is easy to assemble; however the needle provided with the ball will not insert therefore leaving it impossible to inflate. I will be contacting the company for a replacement or a refund

I bought this chair and I love it! It helps my aching hips and back at work. My core is stronger and I have more energy at work too!

I have been wanting this for so long, and now that I finally purchased it, I am very disappointed. The ball when fully inflated is too small to use at my desk which is of normal height. The ball is too small to use on it's own at a desk or for exercise (I'm 5'4"). The bar that holds the ball in place it of no use since the ball is so small it doesn't come close to the bar, and the bar is uncomfortable on the back of my legs. The ball is so small, it gets stuck in the hole in the chair, and could never fall out even without it's useless bar. This tiny, little, useless ball is ergonomically incorrect. The balls in the pic and video clip are larger. They must be different balls which is false advertisement as far as I am concerned. The only thing good about this product, is that it was simple to put together and take apart which is why I gave it 5 stars in one of it's catergories. Don't waste your time and money ordering this. I can't wait for my refund.

I bought this chair for office desk...the ball that comes with it is way too low to sit and be able to type normally. Not happy to have to figure this out after assembly. The online photo shows people using these at desks, not coffee tables.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I specifically bought this to use either at my desk at home or my desk at work but it is far too short for either. The only physical impact would be shoulder and next pain due to the low height. Disappointing.....
