smaller than anticipated

While this is a quality chair and is everything it is described as, I was thinking that it would hold the large (75 cm) ball, but it is actually the smaller one. Definitely takes some getting used to if you're not accustomed to sitting on the balance ball. Good product overall
I would recommend this to a friend!

I thought this was going to be larger than what it was. It comes with a 50 cm ball not a 65 cm. Just make sure it will work for you. Other than that it's great quality and loos great.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

should have bought a long time ago

Very comfortable with great support and although I need this opportunity to work on my posture, I appreciate that you can still lounge back in it if you want. It adjusts to you. Also the ball easily comes out for a little child to play with- if you're not into exercising with it yourself.

I purchased this about two weeks ago and so far I am really liking my chair. (classic balance ball) I had a little trouble getting the support bar to work with the inflated ball but in the end it all worked.

Surprisingly good office chair

Verified Purchase:No
we have a home office; tried 3 chairs already; gave this one a shot and it is the best of the bunch. My wife already took it to her office; now we need to buy another one for our home office! Only challenge is to maintain air pressure; slowly leaks out; had to re-inflate to maintain proper height about once per 3 weeks of use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Stronger Abs! No more hip pain!

Greetings. I have owned this chair for 3 years. I actually own 3 of them. When I had a job, I would take this chair into the office. I'm a petite Mother of 2. I love this chair because it helped me get through my hip pain. I was unable to sit due to a hip injury until I found this chair. It allowed me to displace the weight on my injured hip so that I could sit. It has been 3 years and my hip is now healed. This chair also eliminates the painful tingling I get in my hips and thighs when I sit in a regular chair. I stopped using the chair for about 2 months. My neck, upper back, and shoulders began to get stiff and painful. I switched back to my ball chair and now my pain is just about gone. I work on my computer quite a bit, and I find this is the only chair that allows me to sit for hours at a time. I also feel my abs are tighter because of the chair and my lower back is stronger (I have always had a strong lower back though). It's great because it enables you to "bounce" around. It's fun because you can bounce the ball around the office to get a few smiles from your co-workers. You can inflate the ball to the desired height. Take off the back part and the wheels and you can do more exercises. Easy to transport - so lightweight! Overall, I love this chair!

Fantastic chair for support, strengthening back and ab muscles, and using for deskwork and computer usage. Lightweight, comfy, easy to move from venue to venue.

Strong Purchase

I've been sitting on a balance ball at work for over a year, but miss the convenience of being able to easily turn and work in multiple directions. Spinning around on a ball isn't difficult, its just a pain and people look at you weird every time. This chair is exactly what I was looking for. . . four caster wheels were the perfect addition to my already fabulous chair. The ball is a lot smaller than I expected, but I am 5'9" and the chair is actually a perfect fit. I didn't even need to inflate it as much as I originally anticipated. Definitely a strong purchase. I am sitting for most of my days and I appreciate the comfort this chair brings. My back is stronger and not in as much pain as when I sat in a regular desk chair and there is no possible way I can slouch. Sitting takes a little focus, a little balance. I love it. WORDS OF CAUTION: The first ball that was delivered was defective. There was a tiny weak spot in the material, so the ball leaked through a very small hole. I called for a replacement and the company sent a) the wrong color to b) the wrong address. I'm not incredibly picky and I don't mind charcoal instead of pool blue, but for the sake of good customer service - GAIAM could've made the effort to confirm my original order and ensure they sent the product to my shipping address and not my billing address. Needless to say, my complaint is only in regards to customer service. The product itself is fabulous.
