Love this chair! I am sitting on it right now. Don't know if it is strengthening my core, as I haven't exercised with it yet. I am an artist and spend a lot of time at my drafting table, and this chair makes my back feel great!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Still using after all these years

I own two of these chairs - one at the office and one at home. The youngest one is over 5 years old. I love them! I keep alert at work and working at my home computer and do not find myself slouching at all which was my problem since my teen years. Combined with the neck relaxer (Real Ease) I can get rid of my stress stiffened neck and shoulders within 10 mins.
Great product, clever combination of the ball with supportive frame. The only negative comment I have is that the wheels don't turn smoothly. But that may be a positive when you're bending backwards over the ball!
I would recommend this to a friend!

The chair itself is worth it

Actually, what I got was just the chair, so I can't review the whole system anyway. But it's an excellent as well as handy product to have just as a healthy version of a chair! Unlike fancier or more elaborate chair designed for healthy posture, this one just allows you to find your own posture naturally.
...and I've loved all 3. I had to leave my last chair when I moved to a new state. I was developing sciatica sitting in an old office chair, but since using my ball chair for the past few weeks, that has gone away. I was experiencing numbness in my legs from using an ergonomic kneeling chair, and that has now abated. Overall, this chair is great. It can get a little hot, sitting on rubber, but that just gets me to stand up and walk around for a few minutes before getting back to work. I highly recommend this chair.
I am impressed with this entirely! It is now my chair at work, and I feel so much more alert now that I'm sitting with an engaged core and straight back. Probably will get one for home!.Great quality too!
I ordered two for my office and now I need to place an order for two more. Everyone here loves it so much they get here early to get one of the Ball Chairs.....most of us have lower back pain from sitting all day, this chair removes that tension, makes you sit with better posture and helps your core with out noticing it. Its great and I would highly recommend it .
