I use this ball to sit on while using my computer. My last ball recently popped, it was very large, so I needed a replacement. This ball has very high-quality, thick rubber(or some kind of plastic) and will not pop any time soon. It has a band that goes around it to tell you when to stop inflating, my ball didn't ever get that big, it has been 2 weeks. If the measuring tape is correct, the ball inflates to about 82cm. Plenty big to sit on. I had to use a different pump to inflate this ball with. When I need to make quick fills after the ball has stretched out, I use the low-quality pump that came with it. Comes with 2 plugs, they do not leak air until they are completely out of the ball. The color is a strange blue(if you look closely it is a mix of light blue, dark blue,and black all meshed together) wish it was black, but it is not too ugly, darker than in the picture, not green. Did not stink when I opened it, has absolutely no smell!!! I am very satisfied with this ball, it is worth the extra 5 bucks.

UPDATE: Still very happy with this, great purchase. Has not changed color and hasn't lost much air (i fill it every 3 months to keep it firm). Very comfortable to sit on, perfect size. Still amazed it didn't smell horrible when I opened the package!

This is ideal for anyone looking for a 33 inch exercise ball. Quality is decent. The larger diameter is really helpful for stretching the back- both lower and upper.

I think it is a good product but it was very hard to input air. It took more than 3 days. First day I used attached pump. oh my gosh...takes forever. Second day, I tried with a bike pump but somehow it doesn't fit into hole well. Third day I pull out an electronic pump from my garage. Again it doesn't work well...I remembered that I have a pump from another brand small exercise ball and finally it worked..... Oh my goodness so much energy only for this ball. Smell? Yes still smell but I will wait a week and hopefully it will be gone.

This is a great exercise ball. Very sturdy. I could not find this size locally. The only drawback is that the ball really does stink! It can make you nauseous. But don't freak out! About a week in a well ventilated area (or anywhere you aren't) will allow the smell to settle down. After a bit, the smell is completely gone.

So far I love this ball. I've been using an exercise ball chair for over a year but it wasn't challenging my core as much as a regular exercise ball does. The problem is that even a 75cm ball isn't tall enough for me (I'm 6' with long legs). My knees were always parallels to a little above my hips, which is not the ideal position. On this ball my knees are just below my hips and my core is nicely challenged. As others have mentioned, the included pump isn't ideal but it's the same pump I've gotten with several other exercise balls; if you want a nice pump you should buy one separately or expect these balls to be much more expensive. I used an electric pump to do the first inflation and topped it off by hand for the next few days until it reached its full size (in case you don't know, it usually takes 2-3 days for these types of balls to fully inflate). There is a slight chemical smell to the ball but it's going away.

This ball is amazing! Its just like the ones you use at the gyms. (This is definitely NOT made cheaply) But be sure you get a double action pump because the one that comes with it sucks! You will end up pumping it up for 2 days straight. I used an air mattress pump to pump it up almost all the way, but ended up using a different pump to finish. You also cannot base the size of it on the tape they included because the 85" ball will never get that big. Either way, I'm 5'10" and weigh 300lbs and I feel completely comfortable (without worrying about popping it) and able to do my stretching and exercises! If you're looking for a sturdy ball this is the one!!!!!!!

think rubber material, actually comes with a good pump. using it as a chair for my desk at work and I love it! this is the best ball that I have bought and at a reasonable price.

I was recommended by my physical therapist to use this. She recommended the 85 cm for my height which is bigger than the recommended 75 cm for a 5'9 person. I love this thing. Works great, this is the right size for me. The ball smelled a little for a couple days but then it dissipated. I just put it outside for a few days.

I was looking for a stability ball to replace my office desk chair. I'm tall - 5'9", so I needed a larger size. The 85 cm is perfect. My colleagues at work have since ordered their own, and they are not as nice a mine. Delivery was prompt too. We brought in a better pump to inflate our balls. Be warned, filling the ball is exercise in itself!

This is a great ball! It is very nice quality and really big. I got it for a birthing ball and couldn't air it up all the way or it would be too big!
