I like the back addition so I can put a pillow back there for comfort, mostly I sit without the pillow but when I work a lot a pillow helps. I find myself bouncing and it keeps me active and working longer. My husband and I both use it at home. Great for those that work at the computer a lot. I bought one for my daughter for the holiday.
I've had my chair for about 2 weeks now. Before purchase I had concerns after reading others' reviews about the chair sitting too low...etc. But after sitting in this chair daily at work for the past two weeks, I can say that this chair was definitely worth the money. I followed the directions provided and blew the chair up to the recommended height and have had no issues whatsoever (and I'm 5'7"). I think the chair is good looking and sturdy and does what it promises to do (engage core and improve posture). I enjoy sitting in it at work (especially in half-lotus). It is light and easy to carry or fit in your car (even after you put it together). I will likely be buying another one to have at home. I highly recommend this product.
I am responsible for safety and health in an organization and although I knew about these "balls" for yoga and such years ago, I hadn't considered them as an ergonomic work tool until a few years ago. I had an employee request one for her workstation. I purchased it for her and once others saw it, I was in the market. Several of them share theirs because they don't use it exclusively all the time. They all speak highly of the benefits of using the chair. I recommend it for those requesting it.
I truly feel like I am getting an abdominal workout when sitting on this chair at my desk. It is easy to sit on and comfortable. Very easy to assemble.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy to assemble, comfortable. Great for my back, before, during and after pregnancy. I use it for an hour or two each day.
