I purchased the classic balance ball chair having high hopes that I would love it - i wanted to love it!! But alas, after using it for a while I can report that the classic balance ball chair doesn't slide very well at my office desk, and the wheels are constantly locking on their own. Additionally the front bar broke, I got a replacement, but eventually had to have a friend who's a welder reinforce the part that bends into the chair so it wouldn't break anymore. AND to top it off, despite being well under the weight limit of the chair, the plastic has bent in on the sides and had created a sharp edge that now punctured my ball. Maybe I had the bad manufactured chair, but maybe not. I really want to try the custom fit balance ball chair as it's medal for the stand and also has five wheels, which I'm hoping would slide better... but I also don't want to spend another $75 on a chair. Ugg. Gaiam, what a disappointment after loving so many of your other products.
