Good discipline!

Office chairs are a real misery for me. Because I'm small, I either have to sit far forward, have my knees bisected by the front of the chair seat, or sit on my legs (undignified to say the least)! I got the Balance Ball chair thinking it would serve as a good core toner. I don't feel much in my core from using this (I'm pretty toned already) but my legs and back feel so much better. My feet are flat on the floor, there's no pressure against the back of my knees, and my back is straight (the chair comes with a back, but it isn't really meant for sitting against). I think this will be good not just for immediate comfort but to help guard against future health problems. I was concerned that the chair would look out of place in my office but due to the clever design, no one has even noticed it until I pointed it out. My office is a blank, featureless stress palace with few personal mementos (a throwback to my consultant days). This is one of the first things I've ever bothered purchasing for the office and I'm so glad I did!
I would recommend this to a friend!

The overall rating I gave this product was a 4 because for what you pay for the chair, you would think the quality would be heavier and sturdier than just a light plastic. However, with that being said, the ball is great. It does take some getting used too. But the benefits far outweigh the awkardness of getting used to the chair and the looks you get from people in the office. My first week of using the chair, I gradually sat on the chair a little more each day and by Friday, I had no pain in my neck or my shoulders or my lower back because I so cognizant of my posture while sitting in the chair.

great way to engage core, sit up straighter and move more while sitting. I fell off the ball the first day I got it...pretty funny. Sometimes the wheels lock accidentally, but otherwise i love it!

Great addition to my workout

I purchased this chair more for the workout possibilities than sitting. It was easy to put together and I'm enjoying learning the various ways to use it with the bands. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for ways to increase core strength and create a workout environment in their home.

I purchased my Balance Ball Chair after seeing and trying a co-worker's chair. I didn't order right away because it doesn't adjust in height, but realized the ball will inflate to heighten the body and I love mine. I sit for many hours at a time and I do feel active while sitting, oddly enough. Nice looking too.

Great for an Office Chair

I bought 8 of these for the girls in my office. We have had varying degrees of feedback from "I just love it - it really helps my back" to " I can't use it since I need an arm rest" I personally am very satisfied but the ball is hard to sit on all day without getting a numb backside. Great Product from Gaiam!

I recently bought the Balance Ball chair to help with back pain. I had terrible posture in my desk chair and need to strengthen my core/improve posture while I'm working. The Classic Gaiam Balance Ball Chair is the perfect solution.
