Cop-a-Squat Why Dont-cha!
I've borrowed my co workers Gaiam Balance Ball Chair when she's been out of the office. I just loved it immediately, less back paid, less pressure on my legs and helped with my posture. I just had to get one for myself. It arrived today!!! Like a kid on Christmas I tossed my old uncomfortable office chair to the side and immediately put this together. I like the pop of color the green has....so that's about all the positives I can give. Assemble of the chair was very quick and simple. Inflating the ball however, with that ridiculous pump thing, I had to go into a conference room to put air in it. (just not appropriate to do while sitting at your office desk) The ball.....the ball is inflated to the max I didn't want to pop it. I placed it in the chair and it was like dropping a beach ball into it. This ball is SOOOOOO freaking small when I sat on it I could just about sit Indian Style on the floor!! I'm 5'10 about 150lbs. I immediately rolled it to the side and grabbed my neighbors ball and I'm sitting here typing this review in comfort. UPDATE 6/9/15: okay so I called Gaiam customer service about replacing the ball and was told to just give it a couple days to expand to it's full size. So today (day two) I came in and inflated more.....to my SURPRISE it's not perfect IT"S BETTER. I'm high yet still able to lean back on the back rest comfortably. This goes from 2 stars to 5 in my book. I couldn't believe it. If you think its to small on the initial opening let it sit in a warm space over night and then add more air......you'll be pleasantly surprised. Everyone at work is taking triple looks at my comfy, supportive, fun colored, new office chair! Love it. They should put a disclaimer in the description so people know what to expect. would have been helpful for me. Considering it? Go for it!!! Since I had it shipped to the office I don't know if I should return all of it or go in search of an adult sized ball. I did some digging and I see there are different sized balls on Amazon sold separately for 19.99. Seriously?! How do I just exchange the ball?! Hello, AMAZON? Anyone out there? I've spent allot of money on this site at least deliver the items pictured. The lady in the picture isn't squatting on the floor she's at desk level. ... show more

1-Month Impressions
UPDATE: Having sat on this ball every day for about 4 weeks now, here are my updated thoughts: 1) I don't miss sitting in an office chair. I'm keeping correct posture consistently and am now challenging myself to sit in correct posture in non-ball chairs. I don't miss the lack of arm rests either. 2) My back soreness went away after a few days. 3) I have to re-inflate the ball about once a week, as it loses about 2-3 inches of air each week. (I have my monitor angled up and notice my height go down in relation to the angle after about a week). 4) The nuts on one side of the horizontal metal ball bar that secures it to the base of the chair unscrew themselves. They have fallen off three times and I am now leaving them off since the other side is still securing the bar in. 5) I'm contemplating buying another one for my home to use at the dinner table or general lounging. ORIGINAL POSTING/FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Let me preface by stating I have really revved up my efforts to eat better and be more physically fit over the past 3 years. I know the importance of posture but LOVE to slouch. I am male, mid-thirties, 6'4", 200 lbs, reasonably fit, eat very well compared to SAD eaters, and consistently go to the gym 2-3 times per week. I work a sedentary job in HR and do not know why it's taken me this long to buy a product like this. It was delivered last night and I took it to the office and set it up this morning. Here are my first impressions after sitting on it all day. (Note the preposition use: you may sit IN a chair but you definitely sit ON this ball.) 1) Setup: very easy. Took less than 10 minutes including unpacking. No tools required, though a mini wrench is included. Everything was snap in or screw on. A hand pump was included with the ball and it took about 2 minutes to inflate. I purchased the Leg Extenders to adjust for my height and was glad I did. It takes the recommended height to 6'1'' but I sit at a relatively low desk anyway. 2) Function: I am sitting about the same height as my office chair. I kind of miss not having arm rests but I've been told by other ball chair users that I will get used to this and never want them again. I don't understand the importance of the back rest. If you sit upright like I've been doing all day, your back won't touch the back rest. You can lean back at the expense of bad posture - the rest will push against your lower to mid back. It is removable though and I'm contemplating removing it already, like other reviewers have suggested. 3) Posture: Sitting on this balance ball encourages better posture. It feels more correct to sit upright than to slouch. I can slouch still by slumping my chest and shoulders but it feels wrong on it, like I'm doing something I shouldn't be doing. 4) Feel: I don't doubt that I will be sore for a few days. I feel some soreness developing in my back due to sitting correctly and my shoulders due to having to hold my arms up off a rest all day. But just like with working out, soreness is your body's way of developing more muscle mass as it repairs strained and torn muscle groups. I feel confident that I will be way better off going forward. All in all, sitting still isn't the best thing you can do for your body. Our bodies were designed to move around, squat, jump, run, etc. But if you're in a job that requires sitting, wouldn't you want to do everything you can to make sure you're at least sitting in the healthiest way possible? I know I sure would. ... show more

Satisfied so Far!
Overall, this product is functioning as expected with no issues. I have had the chair for about a month now and so far so good! You may see in other reviews that the metal support bar has snapped or the chair feet have crushed in - I can see how this would happen if you are sitting down on the chair too aggressively or if the ball is over-inflated and is putting too much pressure on the support bar. The chair frame and support bar are not made of the most sturdy materials but if you are gentle with the chair and are careful to sit down slowly on it - you shouldn't have any issues with these pieces breaking. I have had other balance balls that I have used and was a little worried about the ball being too small after seeing other reviews. I'll be honest - it does look very small when you inflate it!! This is normal and I promise that it will fit in the frame and be tall enough for you to sit comfortably at your desk. While the parts are not the most heavy duty - the ball itself seems to be of high quality and is durable so far. I only gave the chair four stars due to the lower quality of the parts/design for the support bar. My experience using and sitting on the chair gets five stars though! I bought this due to lower back pain and discomfort sitting in a desk chair all day and this has helped me with my posture and pain so far. If you are weary of buying the chair due to the pieces breaking (as I was before buying) just remember to be gentle with the chair and not to put too much tension on the support bar by over-inflating the ball! ... show more

Best desk chair I’ve had at 1/10 the price
Color: Charcoal
This thing is great and has been a more comfortable and generally healthier desk chair than I’ve ever had. I have a nice $800 chair that was killing me, given that I spend up to 10 hours a day at my desk and have spine problems. This was the perfect solution. Definitely follow the instructions on the 24 hour initial blow up and then doing it again - the ball needs to be stretched. I have only had to reinflate it twice in about three months and the first time was a week in, and I think it was still because the ball was stretching that time. I have even found ways to use it for my PT exercises, but the main use has saved me so much pain and discomfort. The only criticism I have is that the inflation device that comes with it is difficult to use and leaks when you get close to fully inflated, making it harder to get it to the size that it needs to be. But I purchased an electric inflation device because I am disabled and could not really get it done with the hand one and that solved the problem. My IT guy was here for two hours, told me he was just going to try it and then use the regular chair. At the end of the 2 hours, he was still on the yoga ball and asked me where I got it and how much it was at the end of it because he wanted to purchase one himself. Given that a normal desk chair will run you upwards of $500 for an uncomfortable one that won’t last, this is more than worth the price. ... show more

Nice quality
Color: Charcoal
I've sat on yoga balls for years and this is the first time I'm trying a chair. These used to be really common around 200, but now they're bing phased out. This was a good buy for the money I paid for it. The assembly was supper easy and. maintenance is minimal. The chair is very stable making it really hard to fall off of it which is a concern with yoga ball. I put roller skate chair which makes it move easily.. ... show more

Feels Comfy...Til I Get Up
Color: Charcoal
I'm still not sure about this chair. I found the directions very confusing, but I'll admit, I don't really put many things together. That's usually my husband's department. I always like reading directions, but this was a very confusing picture, which my husband ended up having to help me with (maybe it's me!). Once it was put together, I sat on it at my desk, and found it to be very comfortable, although a bit short (I'm 5'5"). Luckily my desk has a pull-out drawer which stores my keyboard and mouse. If I would have had a desk with these things on the top, there's no way this would have worked. I was probably on the chair for about 40 minutes, and everything was fine...til I tried to get up. My tailbone was killing me! And my right hip was screaming too! Not sure if I just need to get used to it, or maybe there's another way I should be sitting on it? Not sure (anyone else have this problem?). I immediately ordered the extensions, although I agree with others - it should come with. There is no way the ball is even close to the size they said it would be! If I would have kept filling it with air, it would've burst. It feels a bit like a kid's size ball, and I have experience with Gaiam yoga balls. If it wasn't for a visiting dog at my home many years ago, I'd still have my yoga ball which would have fit perfectly. I agree with others that the size of the ball is definitely smaller than what Gaiam says it is, and they know it. Which is why the extensions should be included in the package. I'll keep using it, and hope that my tailbone and hip stop screaming over time. Maybe the extensions will help, time will tell. I love the look of it too, and that it basically slides under most of my desk. I also love that two of the rolling casters lock into place. Update: I ended up really liking the chair...until one of the metal pieces broke right off. Looks like several people have had this problem. Gaiam, do you offer another metal piece? I really don't want to purchase another chair for one part. I'm not the only one with this problem, so you may want to consider that. ... show more

Never Going Back to a Standard Office Chair
I work in a vacation rentals call center and work a lot of overtime in the busy season, sometimes sitting 8-12 hours a day almost non-stop. Sitting so long in the uncomfortable office chairs provided at my job was causing my neck and lower back to ache constantly, so I bit the bullet and ordered this chair. I've been using it regularly for exactly one month now and couldn't be happier! The back and neck aches are gone, my core feels stronger, and I feel like I'm 24 again (which is fantastic, considering that IS my chronological age). I refuse to sit in a standard office chair ever again. More than this, though, it helps me keep my adult ADHD in check by allowing me to bounce, rock side-to-side, and otherwise fidget without disturbing my callers or those around me. I can focus better, and often wake up with a little soreness to my core the next morning from my impromptu 'workout', depending how much movement I did in the chair the day before (a huge plus for a sedentary worker such as myself). This chair would be a godsend for any child with ADD or ADHD--I wish I had had one when I was a kid. Aside from the practical perks, it's just plain cute! My coworkers and boss think it's the coolest thing they've ever seen--in fact, my boss was so enthralled by mine that he's looking into one of his own! I am 5'2", actually a bit shorter than the ideal chair-user, but have not noticed any problems due to this (other than the occasional quizzical glance from a coworker as I scoot and wiggle my way into the proper sitting position). I did slip off the ball twice in one day, but that was a direct result of the fabric of the dress I was wearing at the time, and would easily be remedied by the purchase of a cover for the ball. Thus far, I have nothing negative to say about my beloved "Bouncy Chair". In fact, if I ever set up a home office for myself, I'm getting another--guaranteed! ... show more

Wrong size ball: EDIT, right size ball
Color: Cool Grey
Edit: 11/28/2021 I meant to come back and update this. Sigh. It IS the right size ball. It eventually fills up. But it is so uncertain throughout the process. You really have to trust the process and trust the ball will not explode in your face. I finally filled It all the way and it’s been that way for about a year. Will take new pics later. (Original) The ball is CLEARLY not the right size ball. I have been trying to inflate it over 4 days now. Day 1 took it out and inflated mostly full. Day 2 deflated half Day 3 reinflated completed full. It looks nothing like the images. And I have already spent additional money getting the wheel extenders to try to get more height. And I’m 5’3”! When I sit on it my knees are higher than my hips. I’m barely able to comfortably work at my puzzle table. I will either need to send it back due to false advertising or resign to get a new ball from a completely different company. But as I’ve already spent too much on this purchase, Im leaning towards sending it back and not reward them for deceptive advertising. I don’t like to hassle with contacting customer support as you have to email them and wait. Honestly, have better quality control. Why did no one notice these incredibly small balls and the complaints in other reviews. It seems like this is an issue with the grey one as other reviews show. EDIT Day 4 - I was able to inflate it a slight bit more. It now sits at 42 cm high. The images in the description clearly state the ball should reach 52 cm. So it is definitely too small and I honestly don’t see where another magical 10 cm is going to come from. It’s already very taut and I 100% followed the inflating instructions. It’s as if they've given a child size ball instead. ... show more
