Meets my low expectations perfectly
By Erik
It's obviously not the 'original' ball chair. It's still nice and round and red, and has this unique silence once you sit in it. I had pretty low expectations to begin with, and it met them perfectly:- The base is of a slightly different color white than the ball itself.- The base doesn't fit perfectly, leaving the ball to wobble a little bit. I've now pushed some extra material between the pin and the socket, so it no longer wobbles, but also doesn't turn anymore. It's a trade-off, but I'd rather have it be fixed than that the wobble would damage the base further.- The fabric on the inside isn't perfectly glued to the insulation foam in some places. It's not too bad, but I'm curious what it will look like in a couple of years time.That said, the outer shell is perfect, the cushions are nice and the fabric and color are good. All in all good enough for our household with little kids.

The Best Chair Ever
By Rick Parker
I have this chair, and I have to say it is great. While the other reviewer is technically correct, this is not a "real" Eero Aarnio ball chair, it also doesn't claim to be. A real Eero Aarnio ball chair costs THOUSANDS of dollars and are essentially museum pieces. This is an affordable replica of the same style, and the quality is such that you aren't really going to be able to tell the difference. If you want a real Eero Aarnio chair, and you have $4000-$6000 lying around, then all means buy one. But if you want something that is the exact same style, basically the exact same thing but at a more reasonable price, then this is perfect. Plus, Lexington Modern offers free shipping, and believe me you are going to need/want that because this thing is heavy and it is HUGE. Make sure you have a wide enough door to get it through. A 32" doorway should be adequate, but not with it fully packed due to the wooden frame the box ships in to protect it. I had trouble getting it through my door, but that was due to the box and not the chair.If you want to read a really helpful review and get some good information about this chair that isn't someone just complaining that it isn't a several thousand dollar original from 1963, then do what I did and check this site out. (no external links in reviews so it is in my profile) that is the best information I have been able to find about one of these chairs and specifically the Lexington Modern offering.The only negatives I can give this is that there are times I wish the cushions were a little cushier, but that is a very minor complaint. The other thing is Lexington Modern also sells an Eero Aarnio Alpha Egg Chair replica, and they include a matching ottoman with it. Now the ottoman is the same, plastic shell and the fabric matches both the Alpha Egg Chair and the Ball Chair fabric offerings, but it doesn't look like you chan purchase it separately. I spend a lot of time in my ball chair (writing this from it now) and I really wish I had a matching ottoman to go with it.

However, you can't purchase the ottoman separately for this, which stinks because that would really complete this work of art. Not being able to purchase that matching ottoman is the only complaint I could think of with this chair.
