“Good product - easy to assemble and use. I really like the back rest as it allows you to sit much further back rather than 'perching on the edge'. Rated 4 stars as you do need to keep re-pumping the air in every couple of months or so as the rubber 'relaxes' with use. There is also a seat cosy which is a great idea specially in warmer weather and bare legs!”
“I don't have one of these chairs, I find sitting on a gym ball is just fine - I keep it a bit soft to get the right height and slightly more comfort and stability and periodically lift my feet and balance for the good of my core muscles. I can see the castors would be useful but wouldn't a back rest take away the whole point of having the ball?”
“Ive put love it as the concept is great. the product is well made and it is certainly a discussion piece. I was bought it for work as i suffer back aches and shoulder pains, hip pains etc. I found that it hurts the last bone of my spine (not sure how to spell it) you can sit on it for about an hour but then if you are a bad back sufferer i feel you need to get off it and on to a normal office chair. It was leant to a pregnant girl in the office and she loved it. a fitness fan used it but again was on and off it like i was. i have it with me again but i am still having many problems, but that could be down to me not the chair. The first time you sit on it it is comfortable for a while. the back sits on your lower back which is snug.
can be a bit sweaty though as synthetic. :/
I am 5ft8 and it is not the ideal hight for me as my elbows are still not on the table. but that can be table hight too.
I would recommend it as a fitness chair and a mix up but it is not the answer to all my body pain problems, nor has it been to the others who have tried it.”
“This item looks good but after spending an enormous amount of time and effort and inviting others to try, it was impossible to line up the screws with the holes in the plate and therefore impossible to put together - the screws would not thread. Trying to get it collected by the delivery company is even more difficult with them not collecting on the day scheduled (having waited in from 7 am until 7 pm) and then a flimsy apology and a re-collection date the next day with no fixed window for collection - another day waiting and hoping that someone might arrive to collect the item. What if they don't ... another day waiting. The stress involved is simply not worth the effort.”
“It is not a good design. It looks good, but when I sat on it I felt it is too low to use for work. It also cannot provide proper support for my back and my back pain got worse. After using it for a few days, I had to give up using it and it was a total waste of money.”
