Fun and surprisingly comfy!! I loves it - has become my official recording studio chair :D
I got this for music studio as i spend far too much time slumping and its not good for our backs!It honestly feels great to sit on, becaue of the large round seat you cant comfortably straddle it so you need your legs mostly forward , a 10 to 2 on a clock angle at max .Mine has a really comfy, round, spongy seat (like in the photo) and the height is adjustable via i little button under the seat. Press it - sit up and it goes up!! If you want to go down press it and sit down till you have the right height. It will cope with any size legs , honestly it really goes way to high for me and you really dont want it set too high - i nearly fell off :) but it goes down nice and low too - i would recommend setting it so you have low enough for your knees to bend then you can move your back easily and it feels under more control. im 5' 8" btwThe base is pretty heavy so it wont go anywhere in a hurry, unless you set it too high! I set it really high , like bar stool height and that is not good , you will fall off as the weight of the base is not enough if your feet don't connect somewhat to the ground. But i had fun doing it, but really don't do that as you may well do yourself an injury. I was one of "those" kids , i lent back on chairs so i love this stool :D ...its really well built , the piston feels like it will last forever , all the important parts are solid steel .If i was to find fault i might have been nice if the seat cover could be machine washable as is not removable and is fixed via loads of staples under the seat, time will tell how well it wears but its a decent and thick cover and it is dark black which will help after a few years.Really happy with this , back feels great! it is much more healthy for my back and more fun than my traditional, comfy, height-adjustable studio/office chair

Good product with great seat, though not cheap.
This stool does what it says it does. Main reason for this review is to give an update on earlier comments, made by other reviewers.As the listing mentions, there is a new seat design. So what I received looked like the third image in the listing, with a mushroom-shaped rounded seat, rather than the flat seat shown in the first two images (April 2019). The (new?) fabric seat cover has a very good grip, so no hint of slippery. It is also well cushioned, so I had no problem using this immediately, for several hours. I was surprised to realise that I did actually use it at a very steep an angle for most of the time, as pretty much shown in the third image (woman on the desk) - I hadn't expected this.For me, this stool works well both sitting at a normal desk and on a standing desk. I'm 182cm / 6ft tall. I could imagine that for someone with shorter legs than myself, this stool could be somewhat too tall for really long periods on a normal desk, even at it's minimum height. I can comfortably sit on this, also as if it was a 'normal' stool, so with the stool totally upright, which allows me to use it continuously, even when I tire from using it leaning, as intended. I am not sure if this would be possible / comfortable with shorter legs, but maybe that's a small point.Because this is mentioned in another review, I should also say that I'm a guy and unlike suggested elsewhere, the shape of the seat doesn't cause any discomfort - I assume that's down to the new seat cushion shape?The stool arrived in time and comes in four easy-to-assemble parts.Regarding the health or 'well-being' effects of using this: I'm no expert in this area, and I didn't suffer any major back pain, just tiredness and stiffness after long periods of sitting without moving. So I can only talk from my own first immediate experience. I do notice a real difference using this stool, compared to a normal desk chair. I feel less tired or tense, and more active after long periods of sitting - so that's of course a good thing, and what I had hoped for!I rate this four stars, rather than five, for two reasons:- please remove the old pictures from the listing, as otherwise you don't really know what you get until it arrives!- the price is slightly steep I think. It is a well-made and thought-through product, and I have no problems using it for extended periods. It also seems to be the genuine product, rather than a cheap copy of someone else's design - although I'm no expert on this! At £138, it's an ok price but not exactly a bargain though.Review refers to the blue option.

Excellent for my home desk
I've tried office chairs of varying prices and sizes, all to no avail - spent a fortune in fact. I need a seat that's a bit higher than normal so that I can see my computer monitor through my varifocal spectacles. I was constantly having to raise my head to see but now that I have the balance stool, I can raise it higher than a normal office chair and see my monitor without having to raise my head all the time. In fact I can look in a more downward direction to my monitor.It should have been easy to put together but we found that the gas lifter didn't engage properly with the 3 button things inside the seat. It took 3 dismantlings (which wasn't an easy task either) and reassemblings to get it to work properly. Anyway, we eventually succeeded and I'm very pleased with my purchase. I'm much more comfortable at my computer.

Broken - After five months.
If you do not sit dead center on the chair, small cracks starts to develop which will make the buttons stop working at first. I ignore the first one, just used one of the others. Until Yesterday when the seat gave in and I abruply fell on the floor with great loss of dignity.In the US this would be a class action lawsuit.I do like the style, but I now have nightmares about getting the pole up my rear end.Perhaps other brands have better designs.Best,Me.

Great idea and works well with my standing desk. The cushioning on the seat is a bit hard which i am sure will become softer over time. I did a lot of searching for a product that would work for me and I am glad I chose this one, I am 6ft and it is very comfortable for perching on or i can sit on it completely at lower heights.
