There are a lot of things I love about this chair. Firstly, I love its small profile. It barely takes up any space, which is great when your "office" is also your living room. I had never sat on a balance ball before, so I was a little timid about popping it even though I'm way under the weight limit, but it has been totally fine. I also like that the balance ball can be removed and used separately. When sitting on it for longer than a few minutes, I definitely feel my back muscles starting to work! The reason I gave it 3 stars for quality is because the plastic does seem kind of cheap. I don't feel like the chair will break though. As an aside, I didn't realize the wheel locks were engaged for the first few weeks I had it, so I thought it didn't roll on my carpet very well. After changing that, the chair moved much better. I'm not sure why I just assumed they'd be unlocked.
After 8 a day in an expensive office chair I would go home with back and leg pain, after purchasing a Gaiam ball chair I have relevied the back and leg pain plus my core has tightend up and my posture is better. Since my purchase two of my co-workers have ordered the gaiam ball chair and they love it. Thanx Gaiam
I love this balance ball chair, I use it every day @ work, I'm finding myself not sore anymore @ the end of the day like I use to be sitting in a regular office chair.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased this chair because I always have back pain. This chair helps me keep my posture and has helped me a lot relieving my back pain. And besides, its sooooo cute. Everybody in my office likes it and are thinking of buying one for themselves.
The chair is very comfortable and lasts a long time. Company stands by it's product, and is kind to customers. Get it, you won't be disappointed.

I purchased this chair to replace another ergonomic chair I needed to repad after many years of use. Needless to say, the other chair is now obsolete. This is the most comfortable chair I have ever spent 8-10 hours in front of my computer on. My husband loves it also. We are cnsidering buying a few extra for our home offices and our workplaces.

I purchased my balance ball chair in December. Inflating the ball was easy with the included pump. Initially I was afraid that the chair would be too short and end up bothering my knees. That turned out not to be the case. The chair is extremely comfortable and offers a great work out as well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love my Balance Chair. It supports and encourages great posture, and I don't seem to be bending over my computer as much. That you can use it as a work out tool it a great plus.
