I love my Balance Chair. It supports and encourages great posture, and I don't seem to be bending over my computer as much. That you can use it as a work out tool it a great plus.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have enjoyed this chair however I am now in my second week with it and it has begun to squeak. I am not sure where the squeaking is coming from but when I move it squeaks. The chair is not locked. Has anyone else had this problem and if so any recommendations for what I should do? Thanks

Chronic lower back pain has made finding a comfortable office chair problematic. In the past, I had used a balance ball, which helped my back, but the inability to move back or forth in my work space caused its own problems. The wheels on this balance ball chair allow me to efficiently move about my office space, and every time I move, my core engages, which has been an added benefit. My back hasn't felt this good in a very long time. I'm pleased not only with the sturdy construction of this chair, but with the ease of set-up, the price, and the quick delivery. I highly recommend!

I purchased this ball chair after talking with a co-worker who was recommended to use this chair by her chiropractor due to her bad back. It takes some getting used to but overall, it serves it's purpose. I have not used this for excercising yet as I do have it at work and I don't have much down time but I'm on my way. My co-workers have shown much interest in this chair and I have shared the website for them to review and purchase. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase and look forward to using it as an exercise tool as well.

This is a great product. It does what they say it will do. I have not tried the exercise equipment yet but the chair forces me to use better posture at my desk. I ran into the same issue as some others with accidentally kicking the brakes on. I solved this issue by placing a small strip of black electrical tape under the lock lever. It is working well. Takes a little time to get use to not sitting in a regular desk chair but now I would have nothing else.

in the past, i've used my exercise ball alone as an alternative to my desk chair in order to relieve some of the stiffness i've always suffered when working for hours on end and to build core strength. your chair is a helpful improvement over just using a ball. it's structure provides greater stability and support. moving to the balance ball chair has eliminated my stiffness. i feel fresh even after sitting at my desk for hours. your product has completely replaced my more-normal desk chair. the brake casters still present a challenge. thanks so much to this wonder chair!

The ball does not fully inflate using the hand pump. If not fully inflated, the ball sits too low for the chair to be useful at a standard desk height.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
