Excersise ball office chair 4 out of 5
i purchased this chair for my office. When it was received, it seemed the ball chair was too low. so i had my desk altered and now its "almost" a perfect fit.
its very comfortable and keeps my posture straight, and i dont like to sit on hard flat surface as its not good for the Bootie anyways. I think that the ball chairs??? come in different sizes for certain heights and weights? i cant recall if i read that before buying it, i am 5' and this one was a little too low.
i tried to put a bigger ball but it didnt work out.
All in all.I like it. I made it work.
And i definatly reccomend it.
thank you Be careful if you are short 2 out of 5
Intrigued by this product I had a lengthy chat with a Gaiam representative because I am short (5'2") and not very heavy, and wanted it as a desk chair. I was assured that staff at Gaiam of my size used the chair at their desks and were comfortable. I bought it and after a short period am looking for a replacement. Even propping the "balance ball" up with a firm pillow underneath (an unsightly solution that needs constant adjustment) my hands are still too low for comfortable use of my computer keyboard. Might be ok if you are around 5'5" or higher, but if you are small, I definitely advise against this for a functional chair requiring access to desk-high functions, and I believe Giaim ought to say something about this in their ads and through their phone reps. ? 2 out of 5
I purchased this chair a couple weeks ago and I wished I wouldn't have spent the money. Not worth it. I believe it would be better if the plastic pieces were solid instead of hollow. That would make it more durable and longer lasting. Nice 4 out of 5
It's a nice chair with exercise functionality in design. The ball is pretty durable. I bought this ball for over a year now and I still can find myself sitting on it for hours. I am not sure if it helps with my posture or my back or not, as some have claimed. But I like the fact that I can use the ball to do stretches and sit ups when I want to. Gaiam Balance Ball Chair is great ! 5 out of 5
I purchased the Gaiam Balance Ball Chair to use at work and I love it ! The first my lower back hurt a little bit, but I think it was because I wasn't used to sitting with perfect posture for so long; after that my back was fine. I got some funny reactions when people saw the chair but most of them liked it once they tried it. In fact, one of my co-workers ordered herself one for work and one for home too! I highly recommend the Gaiam Balance Ball Chair.
