I had been eyeing this product for a while and I finally bought it at the beginning of the year. I use to do stretches at work or just as office chair when I cannot afford to step away from my desk/computer a lot. My lower back feels relief and it helps me maintain a good posture at work while sitting on it. It was not hard to put together and the instructions were easy to follow. However, I don’t think I inflated it properly the first time. I might’ve released too much air(instructions) or not plugged in all the way, but I had to pump more air into it a few days later. That’s why I placed the ball with the plug facing up on case I needed to pump air again I would have easier access. It has been a few weeks and the air on it is still good. My coworkers also love it and a few of them have gotten one for themselves or wives since. Great quality chair!

4.0 out of 5 stars Inflate and wait, then inflate some more
Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2023
I was reading the reviews going back to 2020 and had to wonder why some people had great experiences and some don't with the ball size. So I was really anxious about my item when it arrived.

Set up of the chair was easy though I needed some assistance to hold the base while pushing in the seat back. This was a little difficult as I couldn't tell when it is properly inserted given the gap in the back of the base. But the 2 holding screws turned and tightened so I guess I inserted sufficiently.

I set up the seat back first (contrary to the instructions, I did step 2 first, then step 1), then flipped the base upside down over a cushioned chair to install the 4 wheels for the feet.

The pump that came with the kit wasn't great, you can feel air escaping as you pump air into the ball beyond a certain size but just keep pumping, it does work to inflate the ball. Follow the instructions!!!!! THAT IS KEY. First inflation, the ball got to about 42cm. See first photo. That's the same picture where a lot of people just stopped and wrote a review complaining the ball is not the right size. You have to let the ball rest and stretch.

I waited over night and the next morning, deflated 50% and re-inflate to 47cm. It was a bit hard as air was almost escaping as fast as I was inflating, almost. I waited a few more hours, deflated the ball and then re-inflated the ball again. When I measured, it was 53cm, I deflated it slightly AND VOILA. Check out the second picture. PERFECT. The ball will feel like it's going to burst, it won't, you will know it's almost there when nearly all the folded creases of the ball has disappeared.

The instructions say 52cm is 21.5", that is wrong, it's 20.5". Follow the 52cm number.

The ball is comfortable to sit on though is a bit scary because I feel the ball might pop. I hope it doesn't. The seat back is not there to provide any back support at all, so you can't lean back on it as it's too far away and you'll likely fall off.

I am about 5', so sitting on the chair, my feet doesn't rest completely flat on the ground, I might have to deflate the ball slightly. Will update this review after a few days use, as needed.
