2.0 out of 5 stars TOO SMALL AND NOT ENOUGH ROCKING!, January 24, 2011

I purchased this balance board as a gift! While it is well-made it barely rocks at all. The picture is misleading because it does not get off the ground that much. I am pretty sure this photo is doctored to make it look like it will rock this much. This board is maybe appropriate for a 2 year old but no one older will find it entertaining or challenging at all!

The balance board was intended for a female athlete. It's use would hopefully improve agility; however, the athlete's agility level is well above anything this board would ever achieve. The board would better be used by a toddler. An athlete needs something much more sophisticated. In all fairness, I admit the board is well constructed and appropriate for a young child, or maybe someone that is convalescing. So, for our purposed, this balance board is extremely disappointing.

We have had this for almost a year and it has held up very well and still looks great. It gets more use on yucky days and was barely touched in the summer. Our three year old uses the blue side and our 15 month old tries to use the red side while holding onto furniture but ends up sitting down to rock herself. I would happily buy again.
