I work in a computer lab with elementary students and really needed a stool that would provide active sitting as well as let me be mobile to work with students in various spots in my room. This stool is perfect! It was VERY easy to put together (and that is not my forte). It is comfortable to sit on and really helps with an acute injury I sustained to my back. The adjustments up and down make it nice for me when I have a chance to work at my desk. I use it all the time! I am VERY happy with my purchase and am considering purchasing another one for my office.
Needed something for a tight area in our home. A balance ball was too big and a traditional chair just didn't work. This works for me, a 5' 6" female. I followed the instructions and got it assembled in no time. It's comfortable and works for me. Happy with purchase.
I have a ball chair, this was purchased as a more versatile/mobile vehicle to use in my daily living. I use for needlework (at a stand), computer, etc.
I am an accountant sitting much of the day. The Gaiam stool is so comfortable. ;No need for a backrest this makes you sit up tall and feel great at the end of a long day. Just what the chiropractor ordered! The seat is quite large and more comfortable than sitting on a balance ball. Great product.
I've been searching for a desk chair that will encourage me to sit upright when on my computer and won't take up much space in a small room. Exercise ball is too low and bulky. This stool is great! Adjusts just high enough, keeps me upright, rolls easily on carpet, even stores under the desk. I had to work a bit to put it together (I'm not mechanically inclined), but all that was needed was included and I did figure it out. Note: you push the castors/wheels straight in even though it feels like that won't work. I highly recommend the stool. A softer color would be nice, though.
This stool was very easy to assemble and inflate. Despite some aesthetic inferiorities, (rubber not fully coating seat bottom, burrs in female threads, rubber flashing on edges not cleaned off), the stool operates and functions as expected. Though the quality was not what I have come to expect from Gaiam, since the poor aesthetics ultimately did not adversely effect the assembly or function, overall I'm happy with this purchase.
