I don't like it

I bought the BalanceBall Chair to use at work. I was so disappointed because it hurt my back more than it helped it. I will be returning it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This chair I was not going to buy it because I just think it really does nothing for you, but the more I was reading online and getting some of the facts straight I said to myself its time to do something about your back...Just under $100.00 I buy it, after about 3-4 days using this Balance Ball, I notice that my back pains are much least and while I am working I am doing some of the exercise to make my core stronger. Some of the people that I work with seen me with my new Balance Ball and now the entire work staff has one. Thank you Gaiam, your product works 100% and I am very happy, Harry Irvine

Love this chair! I used to have a weighted ball but it still moved. This one is more sturdy and you can lock the wheels. It also has a back support piece

I bought 2. One of my employees likes it but it makes my butt and legs numb after an hour. It is a nice decoration now.

PROS • Extremely comfortable-- seriously off-the-charts comfy! • Easy to assemble • Price CONS • Off-gassing plastic/vinyl smell (and worse) I've had the chair over a week and it still smells too strong to use. I'VE TRIED • Leaving it outside It's been outside for a week. When I bring it inside, my house smells like vinyl and I get queasy. • Washing it with soapy water But that has not helped. I'm going to give it another week outside... maybe even wash it every day. I'll revise my review in another week; hopefully the smell will be gone and I'll be using the chair by then!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The plastic backing of the seat hurts my back if I lean on it. But I guess I'm supposed to sit straight and not lean on it anyways. But the other issue is my ball deflates pretty quickly.

It's Worth It!

I've used my balance ball as a chair at my desk for years, but my masseuse recommended I purchase the chair so my posture would be better. He was right and it was worth the purchase price. I didn't realize how much I was leaning forward just using the ball without the chair.
I would recommend this to a friend!

With the balance ball chair, I find myself getting up from my desk more often. It has really helped with reminding me to move away from the computer often.
I would recommend this to a friend!
