 Great ChairMay 22, 2008
By C. Hoffman
The chair is great for promoting good posture and the wheels are a definite asset. It does take time to build up the muscles to use the chair for extended periods of time. I like the chair a lot, but find that I frequently hit the wheel locks by accident and have to figure out which one is locked. To me this is a design flaw. The chair moves well when all the wheels are unlocked (as it should). I highly recommend this chair over using a ball without wheels.

PUMP IT UPMay 19, 2010
By Jerry in SoCal
The ball that comes with this chair IS the right size. It just needs to be pumped up all the way. The pump that comes with the kit may be able to do the job ... eventually. I quickly gave up and used my air compressor. This is a well built set, and really is worth the price. Using it, however, is something else. It is a good tool to pump up the core. Looks easy, give it some time. WORTH THE PRICE.

Chair is great but the wheels are a pain!Jun 18, 2009
By C. Odegard
I purchased the ball chair a few months ago and am excited to use it. The only signficant downfall is that ALL FOUR wheels are LOCKING wheels. So in your daily routine of getting up sitting down, inevitably your foot hits one of the tabs and 'locks' the wheels. Leaving you potentially trapped OR having to fight against the locked wheel so that you can bend over again and again to unlock them.
My solution - find an old chair in our 'desk chair grave yard' and switch out the wheels. Works GREAT now!!! Couldn't be happier or with better posture!

 over pricedFeb 12, 2012
By Max Power
"Max Power"
I bought this 3 years ago. My wife still uses it. The ball has long since expired. Now it has a valeo ball in it, but I recommend gofit because they are the thickest I have found with the highest weight limit (2,000lbs) and it's the same price. See my reviews on valeo/gofit if you're interested in whats the best ball to put in it.
Basically, this is a unique product, and it does what is says, it looks exactly like it's pictured, but I'm sorry this thing is insanely overpriced. The bottom is molded plastic and the metal retaining wire is useless. The wheels are plastic. The only reason the price is high is because yoga balls are hyped and they have little competition. I mean you are paying close to $100 for 10lbs of plastic. For $10 you can get a ball stabilizer ringBall Stabilizer Ring, Black and it basically does the same thing.. holds the ball in place. Ironically it is the ball shifting under you that makes sitting on a yoga ball so beneficial to your core muscles, constantly having to shift your weight and compensate for a dynamic chair. This base, and any other base, removes that benefit.
So basically I recommend just getting a nice ball.

Plan on buying a new ballDec 15, 2011
By HenryAIV
The ball pictured is not at all in any way the ball that comes with the chair. It is so tiny it doesn't even reach the brackets. Unless you plan on using it for a kids chair at a kids table, plan on buying a new ball that actually fits in the base and can be used by an adult.
I am going to just buy a new ball and use the base because its what I need but I do not plan on buying anything in the future from this company "Health Mark" as they have shown a lack of integrity with their dishonest sales picture.
The base is great if you already have a ball and you're looking for a good base. Otherwise, budget for a new ball.
