This is my SECOND balance ball chair! I bought one last fall for work and loved it so much that I had to have to have one for my home office as well! This chair is everything I needed it to be and more! It really helps with core strength, energy and it's FUN! Everyone who comes into my office has questions about it. Who knew it would be such a conversation piece. Now, my husband is going to borrow mine to see if he wants one also. Give it a chance~even though I work out regularly and considered myself to have good core strength, it did take me several weeks to work up to using the ball all day. I initially would switch off between the ball and the office chair, but now I LOVE and use it all day!
I've been using my ball chair for about 2 weeks now and I love it! My kids (5 and 2) love sitting on it too. I like to stay active so this is a great solution for when I need sit. I feel so much better (mentally and physically) knowing that I'm keeping my core engaged and holding good posture. It's fun! I also like that I can take the ball out of the chair to use by itself for exercises. Definitely recommend!
I have both chairs with and without the back support. The ball chair without the support is smaller and lower to the ground. I prefer the bigger one. ?????
I would recommend this to a friend!

Disappointed with the backless

At home I have the one with the back and love it. I decided to purchase the backless one for work and do not like it. I believe it came with a larger ball even though it said 52cm. It was so big that I felt as though I would fall before I got on it where I should be. I brought the ball from my home chair and it was perfect. Guess I will purchase a new ball to replace mine from home.
I use the ball chair in my office and have noticed a significant reduction in chronic back/butt/leg pain due to an accident 5 years. I'm noticing more awareness in my pelvis and feel a sense of empowerment beginning to emerge.
Only reason why it got 4 stars was because it was very difficult to get the wire supports in (the ones that anchor the ball). Took almost an hour, and bruised all of my fingers. The kids love it, though!
I really like it!!I I use the chair at work, and can't imagine using a regular office chair. The only drawback is the brakes located on the 2wheels. I really don't need brakes as I need it to roll all along my desk area. Sometimes they get engaged as I stand up or roll along. Great customer service everytime I've called!
