I have been wanted this chair for a long time now. A while back a borrowed a chair from a coworker for a week and i loved it. My legs and back didn't hurt at the end of my work day. I have gone through many chairs and finally asked my boss if i could order this one. It cost less but is much more comfortable then all the others i have tried. and i have tried lots :) Now i have it an i love it. thank you!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not a fit for me

I used this chair for a few hours at work and lucklily didn't get rid of my old chair. I was back on my old chair by lunch time. I ended up straddling the chair for balance which defeats the purpose of the chair. The most annoying feature was that this chair was a couple inches shorter than my old chair which made me feel like I needed a booster seat to get up to my desk. Since this chair's height cannot be adjusted, it's not a problem that can be fixed easily.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love this chair

I started with the exercise ball and tried out my nutritionist's chair and had to have one. This chair has improved the flexibility of my hip (it has arthritis) and when it hurts, I sit on it because there is give to it. Only thing I wish was the ball came in pink but I can buy one seperately. Terrific chair and I highly recommend the new design. I had the old design but I am only 5' tall and I looked like a little kid at my desk when I worked and it made my shoulders hurt. The new design sits up higher. Only thing I don't like are the locks on the wheels. I use my chair at work and I need to roll around in it. I gave it a 4 in ease of use because of my height. But I'd rather have it higher to sit at my desk.

My husband's favorite X-Mas Gift

Verified Purchase:No
I ordered this for my husband for Christmas & it turned out to be his favorite gift this year! He is almost 60 & has been unable to exercise due to knee problems, but his waistline is expanding & he has been trying to figure out what he can physically do to whittle his core. The ladies in my chiropractor's office sit on these chairs & rave about how wonderful they are, so I decided to try it. My husband sits on it for several hours per day & is amazed that he can feel like he's getting a little workout without "getting sweaty"! Will probably order one for myself in the future.

This chair is amazing! I have a desk job and used to get shoulder/neck cramps from sitting at a computer all day. I no longer get them and plus it is fun! I bounce when I start to feel sluggish in the afternoons or when a cool song comes on! I can also tell my balance has improved.

I use it everyday at work as my desk chair. I'm on the shorter end of the scale so I had to let some air out so I could touch the floor properly, but it's awesome. I feel my core engaging with every move and I'm learning to sit straighter. Bonus, my tail bone also appreciates it. I highly recommend this product.

I bought the Balance Ball Chair for work and love it so much I have to buy another one to have at home. The ball is the perfect size and I was concerned that it would be too low for my desk but it fits just perfect. My co-workers aren't happy because I wont share!

Most Comfortable Chair Ever!

I am an office manager and spend most of my 8+ hours at my desk, so I really apprecicate a comfortable chair that allows me to move and reach all areas on my desk. I like to sit up straight, so sitting on top of the ball is easy. When I move the seat provides a little "bounce and lift" rather than the hard surface of my old padded office chair. The back you see in the picture is only used when the wheels are locked and you are exercising, you do not lean back against it. I bought one for my daughter to use I think it is so great.
Pros: Easy Assembly
Cons: squeaks some when you move
