As I am getting older, my posture is not what it used to be..so happy that there is a chair that helps to aid in assisting in bettering my posture. So cool that it also comes with simple exercises to do on the chair..
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Balance Ball Chair is GREAT...my most favorite chair! It ensures I am sitting up straight and I can feel my core muscles engaged...highly recommend. It is wonderful for ischeal bursitis...keeps the pressure off that area. I do have the issue of the locking wheels and am going to try moving the front rollers to the back as another reviewer suggested.
Such a simple little chair, but comfortable to sit on and easy to move around. The back rest is not very sturdy but gives enough support to kick back for short periods. A big improvement over my old office chair that hurt the back of my legs no matter what height it was adjusted to.

I was very excited that I had finally decided to purchase the Classic Balance Ball Chair and even more excited when it arrived. It was easy to assemble and I have really tried to love it, but am very bummed! The ball chair is EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE and infact made my but so sore I could hardly deal with it, my office mates have tried it out and had the same problem. We went through trying to make adjustments to no resolve, and, the ball is too small to set on at my desk without it mounted on the chair base. I have read lots of posts of the same problem, very disappointing. For now it is collecting dust in the corner of my office. I would love to return it, which would at least make me feel a bit better as it was somewhat of an investment that definitely was not of benefit.
we bought this on recommendation from my doctor's staff. it is comfy but too short for average desk. we added an exercise ball instead which helped a little.
I like the chair..it is comfy and yet I get to move a bit to keep need to move happy. The plastic base has some flaws...hopefully they won't become an issue with structural integrity.
