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

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.

I recommend getting the extenders if you're on the shorter side. I haven't ordered them yet because I hear they are on backorder. The regular chair is too low for my desk. The ball also gets very cold to sit on if you're not in a warm office. I can't sit on it too long becuae my office is colder than most.

Have had back problems due to poor posture, sitting in office chair all day, etc. So finally broke down and ordered this chair for work. I love it! It challenges me to sit up, strengthening my core. No more slouching or leaning on the arms of the chair!

Getting tired of back aches while sitting in front of your computer? This chair is your answer! I bought this chair to replace my chair at work, and what a difference it has made. Forget about those really expensive chairs, this one is so affordable. Can't wait to get one for home soon!

Improves Posture for Tango "I am trying to improve my tango dancing skills, which requires having a strong body frame. The BalanceBall Chair is helping me do this by encouraging me to sit up straight and use my back and core muscles to support my frame. I feel like I'm getting a good work out when using my computer. The chair was easy to assemble and it's not bad looking."
