I use this everyday at work and love it! It is great for sitting on to help my back as well as for stretching during the day. The only challenge is that I often accidentally step on the wheel locks and don't realize it until I try to roll my chair forward and it won't move! I wish it wasn't so easy to accidentally lock the wheels.
I use this chair from 8:30 - 4:30 M-F and love it! I leave the pump at work so every now and then I can add some more air to it (maybe once every 10 days). It was easy to assemble and my lower back pains have completely gone away since I started using it. I am 5 feet tall and feel it is a good height, however, my coworker is 5'11 and feels his might be too short for him.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Received my order very quickly - impressed. Put together the chair myself - impressed. Enjoy every minute sitting on it - impressed! This chair has changed my posture and is extremely comfortable. Same chair is used at my husband's office via recommendation of corporate health representative. He is a large, rotund man and is very comfortable using it as well. I spoke with a RMT friend and was told that it also releases pressure points on your legs and other places, didn't know this. Very highly recommend, especially if you sit at a desk and/or computer for any length of time.
While I really like the chair, I purchased it for my office and it is too short to be usable at a typical workstation. I have it at home where my desk is lower. I also am using a larger balance ball than the one that came in the package to add a bit of height for sitting in the chair. I would love this chair if the legs were longer to lift it higher so I could use it at work.
I had back surgery and since then I find it difficult to find a chair that is comfortable. I'm finally comfortable!!!! Thank you

I purchased this chair to use at my work to help me work my core muscles as I sit at my desk. I found it to be quite easy to assemble and it definitely makes me sit up straight. My only issue (which might be just me) is that my sit-muscles get sore after I sit on it for a couple of hours. I'm hoping this is just temporary and I'll 'toughen up.' Overall a great buy!
The ball you sit on is great, just need to do something about the balls underneath - the wheels don't move so easily once I'm sitting on it. I weigh 140 lbs, so I expect to be able to roll on my office's plastic carpet protector with a little more ease than this chair allows. Otherwise, the chair was easy to assemble, and the color matches exactly what I saw online (I picked the Marine blue chair).
I would recommend this to a friend!

My new chair has created quite a buzz at the office! I debated whether or not I should just sit on a Yoga ball, but the wheels & brakes are acually very helpful at the office. This chair keeps you working all day long, yet the exercise is very subtle - not exhausting at all.
