I use this chair for hours a day, Monday through Friday. I have a bad neck and upper back, and this chair REALLY helps! It does tend to make your butt muscles ache a bit, especially when you first get it. The first month I had it, I would switch back and forth between this chair and my regular chair until I built up the butt muscles. I recommended it to many people.

I am 6 feet tall and read the reviews/details that this chair was recommended for those over 5′8″ so I bought it. The chair is fine for my height but it puts me up too tall for a regular desk! My knees actually bumped underneath my office desk and I had to slouch over to type (which completely defeats the purpose of having a ball chair in the first place!). It would be perfect, if it were adjustable height-wise like most office chairs are. Lucky for me, my husband is a carpenter and when he built me my home office desk, he made it extra tall since we’re both tall. Thus, I use the ball chair at home. Even so it still seats me up a bit more than I like so I switch back and forth to a regular chair when I find myself beginning to slouch over the keyboard….

I bought the Fitball seating disc for my office chair for 1/4 the price and it works just as well there and I can adjust my chair accordingly.

My wife and I work in a home office environment and have 2 of the Herman Miller high-end posture chairs.chairs. We sit most of the day on computers, on the phone or doing paperwork. I bought the Isokinetics executive ball chair in Dec 2008. We both agree that the ball-chair helps improve posture and balance while sitting. I am 5′8″, the minimum suggested height, and initially found it awkward when sitting because my legs barley touched. But now I can sit comfortably – am thinking the ball stretched and gives more now.

The ball itself is great, all of the pieces were delivered in a timely manner…. but…

This chair refuses to stay assembled! The bolts keep falling out, the chair squeaks and creaks and feels very unstable at all times. I have resorted to sitting on the ball alone. I would not buy this product again.

this was a gift — my daughter chose it — but its for TALL people!????

we ended up sending it back — but its a good idea–her being vertically challenged is our only complaint — not the ball chair’s fault! I’ve tried to edit the review to show 4 starts — it won’t allow changes to that portion!
