If you're stuck in an office all day, and you don't have the funds to buy a chair by Herman Miller, this is an affordable alternative. While it doesn't completely force you to sit up straight, it does encourage you to. I can tell that it promotes balance, as well, as my core muscles are usually slightly active while sitting. That's better than nothing.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I'm really enjoying this chair. Other chairs that I'd used at my desk and computer were causing shoulder and back problems. I'm already feeling an improvement since I started sitting in this chair. I'm 5'9" and had no problems adjusting for my height. The plum color is really cool too!
I have been using one of these at work and this one is even better, having the back support. Sitting on a ball makes me feel like I have not been sitting. Mess around with the amount of air until it feels right and the height is right.

Desk Chair

The desk chair has been a great investment. It encourages good posture and I am sitting up straighter than with the traditional desk chair. Many co-workers have asked where I got the chair and want one for themselves. Any volume discounts offerred? One small flaw is I keep accidentally locking the wheels with mty shoes.

Decreased neck and back aches

Love this balance ball chair. Really reminds me of my sitting posture and improves spinal allignment.
I purchased this chair to help me with posture at work as well as provide an easy exercise tool when I had time to do some stretching. This chair fits the bill perfectly. I use it every day in the office and received some strange looks at first but now my colleagues just say "Oh, she's on the ball.". My posture has improved, my core is getting stronger and my lower back pain is reduced. I only wish I had purchased this chair sooner!

I bought this chair about two weeks ago and it is amazing. I have back problems and this chair has helped to strengthen and align my back. This chair has helped to losen and the book of stretches that it comes with is extrememly helpful.
