  • INCLUDES AIR PUMP: Kit includes an air pump, so you can setup and use directly out of the box - please see inflation notice

Customers say

Customers like the color and comfort of the balance board. They mention it's a beautiful purple balance ball that they can use for exercise or sitting. However, some complain about the inflation and size. They say it takes quite a bit to inflate, the base won't stay inflated, and the ball deflates as quickly as you inflat it. Customers also dislike the smell. Opinions are mixed on quality, stability, and value.

Customers like the color of the balance board. For example, they say it's a beautiful purple balance ball that they can use for exercise or sitting. Some mention that the hand pump is awful. Overall, most are satisfied with the color and quality of the product.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the balance board. Some mention it's exactly as described, sturdy, and durable, while others say that it does not fulfill its purpose, makes it difficult to move, and would not work for most desk applications.

Customers are mixed about the stability of the balance board. Some mention that it helps keep the ball in place when they get up so it isn't rolling all over the place. They say the ring on the floor helps with balance and stability. However, others say that it's not for weak wrists, has poor posture, and is ergonomically incorrect.

"...It holds my 220lb body with no effort. My 9 year old daughter loves using it as a chair too." Read more

"...Be great for exercise but it was tougher to use for comfort with pain. I don’t love that the stand is also inflatable...." Read more

Customers are mixed about the value of the balance board. Some mention it's great value, saves them a ton of money, and is a nice buy, while others say the instructions are very poor, the aspects of this product are low quality, and worthless. The pump is kinda cheap, but worked for its purpose.

"...Basically, unfortunately, I think all aspects of this product are low quality." Read more

"...It saved us a ton of money as similar products marketed as alternative seating are 5x more expensive...." Read more

"...The quality of this ball is horrible! Do not buy!" Read more

Customers find the inflation of the balance board difficult. They mention that the ball deflates as quickly as they inflate it, the base won't stay inflated, and the donut the ball sits on is harder to inflat. The inflatable base unit would not hold air, and when you close the hole the air begins to come out immediately.

"The ring arrived with a spilt in the seam and it won’t hold air. I contacted their customer support and they sent a new one!..." Read more

"...I don’t love that the stand is also inflatable. It takes 24 hours to let it sit after “half” inflating it then you deflate and then reinflate.. and..." Read more

"...However, I noticed the base won’t stay inflated so I stopped using that awhile ago (filled it up 4 times and gave up)...." Read more

"...It comes with pump to inflate both the ball and ring it sits in, a ruler to measure the correct size, and also resistance bands for exercise...." Read more

50 customers mention9 positive41 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the size of the balance board. They mention that the ball is too small to serve as a substitute for a chair, and the inflatable stand is too big. Some customers also say that the ring is much larger than the ball, so the ball does not sit in the rin as it does in.

"...sturdy ball and feels like it will hold up to exercising, but it’s not big enough to be a desk chair as it mentions...." Read more

"As you can see in the photo the ring isnt the proper size for the ball so its not stabilizing much...." Read more

"...Another issue I had with the ball was that it was quite large...." Read more

"...It does not! 65cm is too big for the chair. 55cm is too small for most adult humanoids...." Read more

Customers are not happy with the smell of the balance board. They mention that it has a terrible smell and they can't use it in their office.

"...the window and let it air out for a couple of days but the smell still lingers. I'm a bit worried whether if the fume is toxic since I'm pregnant...." Read more

"...Had it inflated for about 5days now, nothing else around it, & it still stinks. I'd recommend keeping kids & pets away from touching it!..." Read more

"...Otherwise my only other complaint is the smell. It really does smell like chemicals...." Read more

"...It’s four days later and the smell has not gotten any better. It’s so bad I had to put it away and am having to go with a different option...." Read more

The ring doesnt properly fit the ball

The ring doesnt properly fit the ball
As you can see in the photo the ring isnt the proper size for the ball so its not stabilizing much. I did however keep it because it stops the ball from rolling away still but its definitely misleading in my opinion. The advertisement photos make it seem like it fits the ball perfectly

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2023
The ring arrived with a spilt in the seam and it won’t hold air. I contacted their customer support and they sent a new one! This is a sturdy ball and feels like it will hold up to exercising, but it’s not big enough to be a desk chair as it mentions. I’m 5’8” and this isn’t big enough for me sit on at a low desk, but it does fit under my desk nicely. The ring is nice and the exercise pulleys— the exercise given by them is also questionable tho. I thought it would be more effective.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don’t expect it to last
Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2021
Jist if this review is product is ok but don’t expect it to last!
When I received this ball 7 months ago I noticed right away it was a different texture from the picture. It is not shiny and smooth, but rather a rough texture. This didn’t bother me so I just kept it. The base was awesome at first for keeping the ball in place so it didn’t roll around my office. However, I noticed the base won’t stay inflated so I stopped using that awhile ago (filled it up 4 times and gave up). The resistance bands with handles didn’t work well with the base so i gave up on those after trying them once.
Today the ball spontaneously developed a hole, so it’s totally useless. There are absolutely no sharp edges or objects anywhere near it.
I think the texture of the ball contributed to it getting worn and creating this cut in the ball somehow. Not sure but the texture has gotten more rough.
The included pump is more fragile than you may think and I recommend using your hands to pump it rather than your foot. It’s easy to misstep on the pump with your foot and bend it out of shape.
Basically, unfortunately, I think all aspects of this product are low quality.
