I've been curious about this chair for a few years and am so glad I took the plunge and purchased it. It is very simple to assemble. It is extremely comfortable and allows your body to sit in a natural way. Everyone in my office thought it looked strange but once they sat on it they were sold on it too! I'd buy a second one for home if I could stop my kids from playing with the balance ball!
Wonderful for my back, can sit on it all day with no back pain and posture is great. No more slumping at the desk. Very comfortable. Liked so much, bought more and plan on buying another in near future.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have had it for two months now and it is my favorite. I use it in front of my computer and also use it to just relax. I am an older woman thus I have an "older" back and neck that I must treat kindly, this chair meets that need. It is so comfy..... I practice qigong and walk a lot, this chair helps to remind me to sit with my back straight and relieves any pressure on my tailbone. Thank you Gaiam.

I bought this chair a couple of weeks ago and just got to setting it up tonight. I was honestly skeptical and wondered how a chair for under 100 dollars would be for quality. It was easy to set up and was comfortable from the get go. Bought it for my home office, but will get one for my 9-5 soon! I own a business and would love to get one for each of my 3 staff as well. The back rest gives just enough support when you need to sit back for a bit. It looks too low, but it's not. It's the same height as my former office chair. Love this, hope it lasts and will get more. Great bang for the buck.
I bought this char about 4 weeks ago and have been using it since it arrived. I have liked sitting on it. It has been helping correct my poor posture! I have found that my back is a little sore at the end of the day but is getting better the longer I use the chair. I also notice that my posture when not sitting in the chair is getting better...still a long way to go. One of my biggest concerns was if I would sit tall enough to type at my desk. I'm about 5'2" on a good day and have not had problems. So I would say depending on your desk, it will work for shorter people. I like that this chair has wheels instead of just the ball because it allows me to move around my office (I have two desks in an L shape) and I feel the ball alone would have made this challenging. I do find one down side is that my tush does get a little sore if I sit for long periods of time but I have found that is a benefit that makes me get up and walk around periodically.
This chair has extended my writing time and concentration because it is both comfortable and invigorating!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I got the ball chair for my home office. I always intended to sit up straight while working, but now i dont have the chair to fall back on (so to speak.) It really works!
