Review on Improve Posture And Balance With WALIKI Adult Size Stability Chair Ball For School & Office by Ivan Carson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Ball, yes Chair, no

If you are looking for a standard exercise ball or something fun for your kids to bounce off of, this will probably work out well for you, particularly if you would like a larger ball.What this is not is a chair, not in any way shape or form.When I began to look this over one of the first things which stood out to me were how flimsy the legs are.Like me, you may have seen similar balls with solid/hard rub legs; however, these are merely hollow extensions of the main air holding chamber.As you might imagine, that results in them buckling, folding, flopping, and otherwise failing to provide any support the instant even a tiny bit of force is applied to them.Consequently, the only thing the legs actually do is stabilize the ball when it is not being used.Alas, beyond preventing the ball from rolling around during storage, they offer no other function that I found.In the interest of being absolutely clear about how this ball works, when you sit on it the feeling is virtually identical to what you would expect from a ball with no legs.You therefore need to constantly focus on remaining upright when you perch on the ball.Even when you get off the ball, the legs won't always stop it from rolling away, so you often have to stop when you have finished with in order to set it back up on its legs carefully enough that it won't roll/bounce off.My disappointment in the legs aside, I have had sturdier feeling exercise balls than this one in the past.Filling it with the hand pump was also exhausting, but possible for a healthy adult who is not easily frustrated.Using an electric pump would probably be a much better way to deal with inflation, assuming you have one available.In the end, based on its quality, color, and design, I would consider this ball a much better fit as a kids toy, than as an adult ball chair.

Pros
  • ORGANIZED AND TIDY: While seating the legs fold and don’t offer any resistance, allowing you to strengthen your core. But when you stand up and leave your desk, the Chair Ball's feet will keep it from rolling away, helping maintain a clean and tidy office or work area
Cons
  • It may be difficult to transport the chair, as it is bulky and requires deflating the ball for storage
