Meets all my requirements! Core stability is challenged. Takes up less room than the ball chairs - perfect for my small space. I really like the adjustable height feature - diversity of applications (which I use). Easy to assemble. I am very pleased and recommend to others.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Small Issue but I like the stool

I'm a school teacher and I wanted a stool or chair that would be low enough to sit at my table when I work with my students, its great for that. However, every time I stand up the chair rises and then it slowly falls every time I sit. Even if I try to set the height it does this and my 9 year old students who have tried it have the same problem. I would recommend this stool to a friend but I would also recommend they return if this happened to them.
I'm a knitter and a quilter. If I'm not careful, I can not have good posture. This stool is great for my posture - and easy to work with my hands while sitting.
As I was using this in my basement, it always felt cold. Also it does not go as high as the specifications say. I was hoping to use it at my office desk and then wheel over to my drafting table. Because of these things, I had to return the item. To send it back cost a quarter of what I paid for the item.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not an all-day option

When I first got this I thought it was great. It takes up little space and doesn't take long to get used to. But I've been using it for several months now and I've grown tired of it. First and foremost, it just isn't very comfortable to sit on for more than a half hour. It seriously wears on my buttocks, especially sitting directly on top. I give them credit that it is well made. My advice, if you want a desk setup that is healthier than a standard chair, spend the extra money and set up your desk so that you can stand.
When you get this stool, please don't sit on it too long. I did and couldn't move my back for the next week. When I sit too long on it my legs fall asleep, so that's another downfall. If you're careful, keep you're feet planted firmly on the ground and don't sit too long, it works well!!!
