Hello All, I want this ball to sit at my desk at work, I've heard mixed reviews - people who use this at their desk. Good or bad? Thanks!

My answer would be to get one of the balls that is specifically designed to be a desk chair. I think that if I had to work on the desk sitting on the ball could be very distracting. This is just my point of view.. I am not young and athletic.

I think it might be a little small to be affective as a CRAZY catch with a soccer ball. But I think it would work fine to bounce the ball back at you if that is what you are looking for.

I would follow the manufacture recommendation. I purchased the large for my Lab and it is the BEST ball for her. Indestructible!

I have a large exercise ball that is about 18-20" high (radius measurement) and it works great. I think it would be fine for anything that you really want to be careful about how much air you are adding- and not to overinflate the ball, like if you used a high powered home air compressor.

You might want to send an email to the seller through Amazon. The ball I got was extremely sturdy.

Hello, this is Rishika from Hamee. Thank you for patiently waiting for your question.As we do not recommend any kind of drilling into the ball as it may crack or break.Thank you for the query.

My ball is a "Go Fit" and I think it is 65 cm. When I looked at it, the six is a little worn (the paint), but it is either a 55 or 65 and I"m betting 65 cm is kind of the standard. Mine fits perfectly and now I can use my ball for computer work or paper work and not worry about falling off, which I did a lot before. You can change positions, bounce, etc. It is GREAT. Susan

Only had for a couple months and it developed a leak. I used it as an office chair meaning I sit on it for 8 hours a day so it got a lot more use than a ball would if used only for exercise. Since then I replaced with j/fit 65cm Anti-Roll Exercise Gym Ball and that has held up so far. The description says: Anti-Burst - Burst rate tested up to 2000 lbs and Slowly deflates if accidentally punctured. Seems to made of thicker material. Also has sand in it to prevent from rolling away when not sitting on it.

Hi, all I can tell you is that the large is huge. Much larger than expected. About the size of a blimp! I would call isokenetics before purchasing. Btw, the quality of the ball is top notch. Good luck.

I use this everyday at my desk instead of a stress ball and it still works great. My kids have even played with it and dropped it and tossed it. I even had to pull it out of my dogs moth and this thing still works perfectly fine. It has not broke.

sorry for delay on your response. This ball is a strange toy the first one broke when it fell of my bed onto the hard wood floor and now the second one does work when my dog starts to chew on it or when you walk by it. You may have a dud return it and get a new one.

Both of the other respondents are right on. Mine fits little to no play, but not tight. Two of my Doctors have heard of them and one plugged it into the office desktop. He loved it.

I thought the ball was great. My dog, however was scared to death with it. I will tell you, that my ball worked right out of the pkg . I think you should return it and indicate that it wasn't working( the children love the ball.)

It is much smaller than the exercise ball I have, but I think it is very comfortable with the back. Some people think mine is too low to my desk, but it works for me.

I have had this for a few months. And I am way overweight. It has not fallen flat. I bought 2 different ones and this is the one that did not squish. It will raise you up a couple of inches so make sure you have room for that under your desk.

I did use a larger ball to sit higher to my desk, BUT after using this base I sent it back - a wheel lock was broken and I couldn't get the company to respond to send a new wheel. Also, all the benefits of exercise are gone with this base, because your muscles don't have to work to keep you balanced, and it's just like a regular chair. I suggest you use a large ball with no base and it works very well.

I weigh 124 lbs and had the same problem. Ball does not hold air. Chair has been sitting in my office to the side since I bought it & I intend to return when I get the chance. It is DANGEROUS!! Have gone back to my "regular" chair of just a larger exercise ball -- no wheels, but much safer!
