I received this chair as a Christmas gift and brought it to work. I could immediately tell a difference in the way I was sitting, standing and working out. It takes a bit to get used to and I wouldn't recommend sitting on it for an eight hour shift for the first time; ease into it. Everyone in my office has sat on it and others have "borrowed" it when I have been out of the office; 3 people have now purchased the chair. I am very happy with the chair and wouldn't go back to regular office chairs.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Back Relief

My purchase of the Balance Ball Chair was sparked by the death of my old desk chair which I had had for at least 6 years! I was especially interested in the support this chair provides for one's spine. I have many chronic back problems that cause me to be restless whether standing, sitting, or laying. Sitting in this chair has given me the relief I have sought for years. It also makes me more inclined to sit up tall as one is supposed to! I believe this will prove to be a great purchase for the long haul. Thanks Gaiam!

Great desk chair

I love the chair. It replaced an expensive chair from the back store but it's a better choice for me. It's an entirely different experience of sitting at a desk, as movement and balance are involved. I'd rather have a slightly larger ball, and may actually get one, so that I can sit a bit higher. For exercising at desk, this ball is good. I'm enjoying it and expecting to benefit in my core muscles.
I love the chair however the quality of it is not too good. I have had to replace the metal bar 3 times on it since I have purchased it because it keeps snapping. It has broke in the same place all 3 times. It frustrating because then the ball pops out.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This chair is just as I expected- Great! It was easy to assemble and really helps me to sit up straight. I took it to work since that's where I sit the most, and all of my co-workers wanted to try it out. I'd recommend this chair to anyone who wants to work on their posture.

This is the best chair ever, I just wish i could get gaiam credit for all the information I give out on the chair on a daily basis... I give the name of the chair and the name of the website to everyone who takes interest in the chair. If you want attention at the office, buy this chair. Everyone will ask you about it. I am kind to my co-workers and allow the first sit for free. Everyone just loves it but not more than myself. I am so happy I bought this chair, my back no longer hurts after a long day of sitting in a chair at a desk. I have Degerative Joint Disease and it has not acted up once since I have been using the chair.
