I love this chair. It glides easily across my indoor carpet, fits well at my desk, and gives me the proper posture and comfort I was after for my low back issues. I feel no pain when I sit on this chair. My clients are intrigued when they see it and must try it. Very happy. I am 5'3" tall and it is perfect. I bought the extenders but find that I don't need them after all. When I get a new desk(my current one is a bit tall) this may change.

This chair is exactly what I needed. I bought the version with a back rest nearly 3 years ago and have loved it. My son loves it. And my back REALLY loves it. Sitting on the ball encourages me to keep good posture and now I realize how much the typical chair actually result in more pain because I tend to slouch. The backless chair is even more effective at reminding me to keep good posture and actually helps me stay alert. I also love that this backless version is easier to store and transport. Highly recommend.

I absolutely love my chair, I purchased it for my office. I have back issues and have broke my tailbone prior so this is the only chair I can sit comfortably on all day. The down side is when I leave my office and come back there is someone sitting on it trying it out. I am sure I will purchase more.

Heavy duty ball, sturdy base - the only problem is I need to raise my desk to make it at comfortable writing height (I'm 5'7"). Tried to take air out if ball but made it too soft. Very easy to get used to, now I feel like I'm doing something good for myself all day :)

I'm a sloucher at heart and although I use my stand up desk a lot at work, sometimes I need to sit down. When sitting in a regular office chair, I catch myself slouching nearly immediately after sitting down, so I decided to purchase a backless balance ball chair to see if it would help....and it does - big time! I highly recommend the balance ball chair. There is virtually no way to slouch when sitting on the ball, so you're forced to engage your core muscles and sit up. The rolling base is excellent and is the perfect height for my desk. Even better, when I'm standing, the ball chair slides easily under my desk so it's out of the way.

I used to use just a plain Pilates type ball as a desk chair in my previous position - where I did a number of tasks that did not require me to be at the desk all day. Now I am tethered to the computer all day, and despite having a desk that allows me to stand or sit, it was too high for sitting with just the ball. This is the perfect solution. And having not used the ball for the last 10 months, the core muscles are sending me clear messages that they missed this alternative (I had to ease myself back into it - muscle cramps!) THANK YOU for providing the perfect solution for those of us (I am 64) who NEED this in the work setting to maintain our core and ultimately our functionality!

Have had this ball for about two weeks, love it! It forces better posture and makes me more aware of my posture even when not using it.I use it about 7 hours a day. Less back aches also.
