About those castors.....

I was hesitant about this chair because of the reviews of the poor casters. I'm not sure if those reviewers realized that there are locks on all 4 wheels to control the chair. When this happens (ie: doesn't roll well) check those! Chances are, your foot accidentally locked one up. And just one makes all the difference in its mobility. Other than that, I LOVE this chair. No more back pain, I feel so awake and refreshed through the day.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Alleviates Back Pain

I work from home and was experiencing severe pain in my upper back and neck at the end of each work day. I practice bikram yoga everyday, so I knew the pain was not a result of a weak back or pulled muscle. I was recommended the balance ball chair and I no longer experience back and neck pain and the level of the chair is so much more comfortable for my arms. I would highly recommend this chair and will never use a regular chair again.

I really like the chair. I don't have any pain from sitting at my desk anymore. The only problem is that I am 5' 4". The desk I have has a drop down keyboard tray so the chair fits perfectly. Anyone shorter or taller would have a hard time being ergonomically correct while typing and I hope I will always have a similar desk because the chair is not really adjustable.

I love my new chair. Sitting as a receptionist for 8 or more hours each day is tough. I no longer have numbness in my legs, my posture has improved and I love all of the stretches included with the chair.

I was concerned about lower and mid back pain, as well as poor posture overall. I found this chair to be a great value at the price it goes for and shipping to be incredibly efficient! Love the chair

Didn't think this would be a winner, but it is. The only caveats are you have to think before sitting, unlike a chair, and place your body in the correct position before sitting.. The other is that I find it difficult to know if I have the right amount of firmness to the ball and feel that it is sometimes a guessing game. But, i am at the computer sometimes 12 hours a day and do not have the numbness in my butt that came with sitting on a high-priced office chair; the backs of my thighs do not hurt or tingle as there is no edge of a chair to exert pressure. One is forced to maintain good posture, great for the core, and because I have to sit up straight, I no longerr find my shoulders scruched up around my ears which eliminates the tension in neck and shoulder muscles. Takes a bit getting used to, but well worth it!

From the first day I started using it, I could feel my posture improving. It's also having a positive effect on my core muscles. And lime green is my favorite color!

I highly recommend anyone who sits for long periods at a computer to own one of these chairs. Not only is it extremely comfortable, its fun!
