I have back problems and bought the chair to replace it for the one I have in my home office hoping it will be more comfortable. Not only it is, but I no longer experienced the sharp back pain I used to have after sitting for several hours. Plus, it helps me maintain a good posture.
My job is a desk job, and I decided to try the Gaiam Ball Chair. I am a very active person outside of my job, and find it hard to sit all day. The chair has been great because my body needs to stay engaged in order to sit upright. I also ordered the extensions which added the height needed to be the perfect height for my desk. The chair was easy to assemble and the included pump to inflate the ball is great. I highly recommend this chair.
... i'm a little disappointed that the ball just sits in place and doesn't move as it would in the floor. Probably my bad for not thoroughly understanding the description as it did not say the ball rested on rollers within the chair part.

The Balance Ball Chair is the most comfortable "sitting device" I've ever used for working on my computer. I would have given it 5 stars, but the tabs that lock the front wheels keep falling into the lock position and catching on my oriental rug. I've put little pieces of cardboard in the slots and that seems to be a temporary solution. Otherwise, just love this chair
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have never been ashamed of being a tall person and I'm proud of my height. This chair has assisted me relieving my back pain by correcting my posture.
I purchased two Classic Balance Ball Chairs - one for me and one for my son - and we both LOVE it!! It's super fun!! Not only does it help us with posture and balance, but it also helps us relieve stress by acting as a "bouncy ball" as well. We gently bounce up and down and giggle our stress away......... It takes up very little room in our office and stows away perfectly under our desks. Great product!!!
