Balancing Adjustable Height Ergostool - Black

With this being all of three pieces, I thought this would have been the easier to put together. I'm a pro with Ikea furniture. This didn't come with instructions, just know you will need to put a lot of pressure on the top piece to get the pneumatic part to "click." I had to use my entire body weight (130#) to get it to snap together and work. But, I love this stool so far.Pro tip: Adjust the setting so you can lean (on your back) and have the stool in between your shoulder blades and let your arms hang. Great chest opener. Just be careful.

Easy to assemble. I had to add anti grip pads to the bottom as the base is made of some hard plastic which was sliding around on my pseudo-wood floors. I have to take off two stars though since it's VERY uncomfortable to sit on for any extended period of time. If you sit on it for longer than 30 minutes, it starts to hurt.I'd like to try to find a custom cover or cushion replacement, as everything else about it the unit besides the sliding bottom is good.

This stool is easy to assemble. The base is very heavy and the overall construction is sturdy. You must put your full weight on the stool to ensure connection of the base--otherwise it might fall off and smash your toe when you try to carry the stool. I bought this stool for my recording studio but find myself using it all over the house--at my makeup table and instead of a regular desk chair. My only issue is that it gives me some lower back pain if I sit at the lower height for extended amounts of time--likely because it's agravating an existing injury I have, not a design flaw.

I needed help when I missed a step in the assembly process. I tried to get help for over 16 hours on and off through the chat. Phone service was not available and I am fine with that arrangement. I kept getting disconnected from the chat help with a long message telling me to “stay strong”. I understand that they are working off-site during the stay at home order but the chat queue is a joke. Not only did I repeatedly get kicked out it then changed my queue position from 2nd to 4th. I decided to just keep typing to keep the connection and that went on for over 40 minutes and only moved from 2nd to 1st. I tried to keep waiting in the 1st position but it went on so long I finally gave up. If they are not staffing chat sessions then show it on the website. I am so frustrated... it has to be among the worst costumer service I have ever experienced. It looks like I will just need to put it back in the box and consider it a lesson learned.

You're always skeptical spending close to (or north of) 100 bucks for a stool that you can pic up for 15 bucks retail, but the functionality, comfort and core engagement cannot be argued. This stool does as advertized. It's comfortable, the cushion is contoured so it doesn't hinder leg circulation over long stretches of use, yet is weighted enough to hold me up even with my feet off the ground. It's quiet and manuveurable, and performs better than the $700 alternative (which I have also used).

Love this stool. It’s comfortable but I can reach forward or to the side. It can sit longer with going numb. It could use better instruction on the post cover. I put it on wrong but it’s just cosmetic

For my stand up desk but careful with the kiddos, they can fall if they play on it. It rolls pretty swiftly.

Love this ergostool! Comfortable to sit on. Design allows for maximum movement as the stool spins, teeters, and bounces.
