As a fan of the stability ball for exercising, I was hopeful that this chair would relieve or help prevent my back pain at work. It did help me maintain a better posture, however the cheap plastic of the chair is so squeaky that it is very annoying to those around me in the office. Also, the ball ruins the fabric on my skirts and dress pants. I think it must be pinching the fabric whenever I move or get up as the rubber stretches.

My experience after using the balance ball chair the first time took me by surprise. I was hoping for improvement over time not a reduction in neck, shoulder, and lower back pain within the hour. I had concerns it would not roll on the carpet at my desk, that it would not be the correct height, and that the ball would not remain inflated. None of these problems have occured. I have searched online for an extra ball the same size to have on hand in case I need to rotate once in awhile to maintain shape and inflation, but I have not found one the same size. Given that the ball is still inflated at the same level after using the chair for over two weeks it seems an extra ball is unnecessary. The chair is so light weight it moves with me as I scoot toward the printer or a file drawer. I completely lost awareness of the chair the first day I used it. I had been struggling with my previous chair so much I now realize it was in my thoughts throughout the day as I frequently worked to readjust its position and mine in an effort to reduce my discomfort. I recommend this product along with proper ergonomic placement of the computer screen, keyboard, and mouse to improve dramatically if not eliminate body discomfort and pain while working at the computer.

HOrrible cheapened product. I used one of thse for 8 hours a day for 5 years. Then my maine [...] cat punctured it while I was trying to clip her nails (true). Ordered a new one. ARrived last week (7/25/09). PUmped up ball. Used one day - wheel snapped at spot where it is affixed to metal spoke and broke off and I am of very reasonable weight (max they say is 350 lbs - I am half that. Now I have an unuseable chair that I will probably have to pay to return and I have already tossed the box. Extremely annoying.
