The inflatable ball was the problem with this chair. It must be faulty however, I couldn’t find the leak. Kept having to pump it up. I would have given a better star rating if the ball part filled properly.The rest of the chair was well made. Casters worked well. My son spent more time doing zoomies on it than bouncing though *sigh*.I should have bought the larger chair.

Smaller than I thought !
It’s a good ball , but it is pretty small. It seems more fit for like a child no older than 5.

WOW!!
Bought for my little who struggles with sitting still with homework/reading. I’ve used this one time and to tell you how totally different his reading was, I can even explain it. He typically gets distracted and stops every few words with some random/unrelated question. Then to get him to sit and read is a struggle. Always starts with a tantrum. And even though he’s in 1st grade and knows punctuation, he wasn’t stopping and taking breaks where he should. So I told him to sit on the ball and read… the very first time he read it straight through. The second time I could tell he was bouncing with the correct rhythm of how a sentence should flow. It blew my mind. I hope this is the answer to smooth homework nights. Much smaller than for a regular desk and bigger than a kiddie table. Perfect for his elf length.

Great herding ball!
The media could not be loaded.
I know this is not what this ball is meant for but I’m giving it 5 stars! It is exactly what I’ve been looking for in herding ball for our Sheltie mix. It’s lightweight, durable and it bounces. I hope they don’t up the price for the dual purpose ball lol. The little pump that comes with it isn’t the easiest to use unless you have someone else hold the ball while you pump it up. But otherwise it works fine. Pumps up quicker than you’d think. I have read that it’s best to pump it up, leave it for several hours, deflate it, then repeat a few times to get it to full size. I don’t know about that since I’m not putting it in the frame it’s fine just the way it is.

Las tuercas se soltaron fácilmente y se perdieron y la pelota se pincho, desinflandose, repararla fue muy difícil por la textura

CHILD SIZE
Bought for my child’s classroom to fit a base. Not having any experience buying these, I didn’t know what size they needed. This is for pre-school/Kindergarten size, not 4/5th grades.

Great fit for 5-foot female!
I have been dealing with sever neck/shoulder pain. After many visits to chiropractors, PT, massage, I learned that sitting on my couch with my spine rounded is one of the issues. So I purchased this chair to sit while watching TV. It’s confirmable and helping me with my posture = reducing the pain.I am 5 foot. When the ball is fully expanded, it is too tall if I sat all the way back. I released some air and put a pillow against my back. Now it’s perfect. If you are using this to sit without a desk, I’d say it will fit for petite/short adults.

Follow directions and it works!!
I was nervous when I saw the pictures and negative reviews about the ball being too small. However as other reviewers have mentioned, blowing up the ball is a process. I didn’t even wait an hour….I blew it up…I waited 15 min….deflated it a little, blew it up again (it got bigger)…repeated the process after another 15 minutes and BAM the ball was the full size like in the pictures!It seems to be good quality, the wheels were beyond easy to install, just slide them right in the holes and you’re done! My son is 8 and he is sort of short for his age (like 49” tall). His desk is 25” high from floor to the bottom of the desk (where it would hit your thighs) and I would say this chair is ok. I wish it were about 2 inches taller but like I said I think it will do fine. I’m curious about the adult size but from the measurements it seems that one would be way too big. Kind of wish they had an in between size.As for stability, he’s been using it for a couple hours now and he hasn’t fallen off or anything like that. He’s very wiggly and fidgety and the chair doesn’t seem to be a distraction or a problem for him. He was just excited to have a “bouncy ball” desk chair!
