great chair

After using this chair at my desk for a few days, it's very difficult to go back to a normal office chair. The chair helps my posture/strengthens my back muscles and is also comfortable. Regarding what some people wrote about the chair being too short for a standard-size desk: I was also worried about this at first since the height is not adjustable. However, the key is in pumping enough air into the ball. When you first inflate it, it will seem too short, but that is because the rubber is not all the way stretched out, so it can't inflate all the way yet. As you sit on it, and maybe just with time, it will stretch out. So keep on inflating it as much as possible every day until you get the right height. Eventually you'll be able to inflate it enough. I hope this tidbit helps someone out there!

I have chronic sciatica and have a difficult time finding chairs I can sit in without pain. I bought this chair to use as my desk chair and I love it. It took me a few tries to get the ball inflated just right, but once I did it made a big difference in my comfort level. I am a graduate student and often sit at my desk for hours at a time and this is the only chair I've been able to sit in that long with minimal or absent pain. I haven't used the chair or the ball for exercise yet, so I can't really comment on that.

I purchased this due to having a new job where I am required to sit for most of my shift. I ordered and did not realize I did not get the right size ball (medium). I had another balance ball purchased earlier and use this instead. I love this ball. My new co-workers come by my cubicle to try it out. I think some may purchase very soon. I think I have started a new office healthy trend.

I ordered this to use at my office desk. Set-up/assembly were very easy and the chair looks nice enough for office environment. I can see how this forces you to use your core muscles to sit, the only downfall is that the chair seems a little short: I feel I'm straining my shoulders trying to reach my keyboard.

On my second week using this chair for my 9-5. I find it helps me to sit up straight and focus on my posture.

Great chair!

I love this chair! I use it as a desk chair in my office. It is comfortable and helps encourage proper posture. I have noticed reduced tension in my neck and shoulders since using the chair. I also believe it is helping to tone my abs. Assembly was easy - everything needed was supplied in the box. The pump for the chair is also easy to use and more efficient than the pump that came with my exercise balance ball. The construction is decent, but could use some improvement. The back rest of the chair is molded plastic and the seams are not smooth or properly fitted. The wheels are also a little bit to be desired. They have a tendency to rotate in a circle instead of allowing the chair to glide forward and backward. Although improvements could be made to the construction quality, I am extremely satisfied with this purchase.
