It's nice. Different. I haven't used it long enough to know for sure. Although it's a bit short for my desk, it does allow me to fit a bigger ball. I like that it helps me engage my abdominal muscles more to support my posture. It doesn't feel comfortable using the back to lean against though. So I just sit on the ball the whole time. It will take some getting used to. I'm hoping it will help my low back pain over time from the traditional office chair.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Balancing the Day

I'm a writer and spend lots of hours at the computer. I need to balance all this sitting with exercise. The balance ball chair actually helps me - while I'm at work. I can shift my position to stretch my legs. It's great to kneel on the ball with one knee and use a hand weight in the opposite arm (while waiting for printer). It gently reminds me to sit with my feet firmly on the floor in front of me and keep my shoulders back and lower back slightly arched. I love my chair. Thanks Gaiam

Balance Ball Chair System is great

I do like the impact this is having on my posture at work. I'm pretty comfortable and definitely sitting up straighter with less stress. I'm sure this is helping and will continue to make sitting at the computer all day much more bearable. I feel more alert and energetic--like I'm doing something good for myself and strengthening my core. The only downside for me is that blowing up the ball is difficult (for me). Once done, however, it seems to hold the air pretty well. Was worried it would be too low, but it's good for me at 5'6" tall at a 28.5" desk height.

BalanceBall Chair Review

I have used the BalanceBall Chair for nearly two years and love it! I prefer this chair over the much more expensive chairs I have owned in the past. The chair has helped to relieve the pain associated with my spinal subluxations. The chair also helped to improve my posture and core body strength. Unfortunately, the half-round metal bar that holds the ball in place broke where the bar is threaded. I have emailed Gaiam and have requested a replacement part.

I've had the Gaiam chair for over three years and I have become very attached to it! My job has me sitting for up to six hours a day and I was having body pain at the end of the day before I got this chair. With the chair I am pain-free and feel invigorated and ready for the rest of my day. I spring out of it.

It took me awhile to adjust to this type of chair. The first day I used it, my back was not happy, but I am using it every day and it's comfortable and easy.

This is an outstanding product. My husband gave it to me for my Birthday and I am so surprised at how wonderful this balance ball chair is. I am going to get a second one because my husband keeps trying to take mine whenever I get up. It is hard to believe how comfortable and relaxing this chair is.

The balance ball chair helps me use my core muscles at work. It also takes pressure off of the back of my legs, which is very helpful when you sit at the computer. Thanks,
