What's in the Box?
Gaiam Balance Ball chair, air pump
Special Note:
For optimal performance, it may be necessary to re-inflate your new Balance Ball once or twice after the initial inflation. Once your chair is assembled and the Balance Ball is inflated, re-check the ball size the next day. If necessary, add additional air and check once more the following day. Your new Balance Ball may need a day or two to "stretch" to its final size (which should then fit perfectly in the base).

Sports reviews of Gaiam Balance Ball Chair (Black)
Customer Review: Balance Ball chair a dream come true
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I ordered this chair for my director, and had no qualms about it since I am familiar with the Gaiam name and its quality products. When I assembled it (i.e. pumped up the ball), I did get strange looks and questions about it functionality, but it worked fine. Just make sure you follow the directions and pump up the ball again 48 hours after the initial inflation, and it will become bigger but just as sturdy. After sitting in it for several weeks now, my director has noticed her posture becoming better and her back pain quickly disappating. Highly recommended for anyone with back problems - ignore the funny looks and odd comments from people - just sit back and relax... no, scratch that. Don't sit back - sit right and sit better!Customer Review: Gaiam Chair is a must have for office people.

I am a retail buyer and I sit at my desk anywhere from 9-12 hrs a day. My back was killing me and several other buyers in our offfice have this chair. It definitely makes a difference in my work day. It helps your posture and gives you support to sit up straight. My back doesn't hurt anymore. It didn't take much to set up the chair and trust me, I am technically challenged. My assistant and I had it up and running within 10 minutes. It does take 3-4 days for it to expand to its full size, so don't be alarmed as I was. Just keep the pump handy in your desk drawer. The chair comes w/the pump. By far, Amazon had the lowest price when I was pricing it out online w/shipping and all.Customer Review: be "on the ball" at work!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This chair is great! I have lower back problems and this has relieved about 50% of my daily pain. Also, as an added benefit, I can utilize the ball to complete a series of stretching exercises that help me when I am hurting. My co-workers are all amused by the sight of my chair. I highly recommend it for anyone who has problems sitting for long periods of time. I have not enountered the stability problems that were reported and I did not even install the "back bar". It is unnecessary and gets in the way. I had no problems with the ball fitting on the chair base, though I did have to add air the 2nd day because the ball 'relaxed'. But I don't consider this a problem.Customer Review: Exactly what I had in mind
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
My review is probably not helpful for most but whatever haha. I bought this chair for my office b/c I bring my 3 month old son to work with me. Nothing mellows him out like bouncing on my stability ball at home but that's not very efficient for work. It's totally perfect for multitasking while boinging. I really wish I had one for home for grabbing whatever I inevitability forgot to put within reach (my glasses, water bottle, remote, etc) without interrupting the rhythm.
The only things to be aware of are the heavy plasticy smell for about a day and it's very firm for the first week.
Great product. Love it.
Customer Review: Love it!

I've only had the chair for about a week so I'm still building up to using it all day. One thing I have really noticed is that my abs are WORKING! I didn't think the chair was doing anything till I stood up after about two hours and wow, I felt like I'd been doing a ton of crunches. Also, I have a tendency to tuck my legs under my chair in a regular chair and they usually are achy and stiff when I stand up. The balance ball chair doesn't allow me to do that and my achy, stiff legs are no longer achy or stiff after using the balance ball chair.
I definitely recommend this chair for everyone.
