Does this ball have sand or weight in it to keep it in place? I want to use it for a desk chair at work and to not want it rolling away when I stand.

No, it does not have any sand or weight in it. I don't think it would roll very far, unless you are on a very uneven surface. Just push it under your desk like you would a chair.

I use this ball at work, and rolling away when I stand up is not an issue. Some of my coworkers have added sand, but the majority have not.

My answer would be to get one of the balls that is specifically designed to be a desk chair. I think that if I had to work on the desk sitting on the ball could be very distracting. This is just my point of view.. I am not young and athletic.

I have "industrial carpet" in my office. This is low-nap carpet with virtually no padding. The stool rolls easily on this carpet. If your indoor/outdoor carpet has little or no padding, it should roll fine. The casters are pretty good.

No. I've seen people put a bunch of sand bags on top to keep it relatively portable. I used water and then added a product that makes it solidify. They sell it on Amazon. Definitely use something or it will fall on you.

no it doesn't,I use it on short carpet so I don't worry about it rolling out from me when I go to sit down.I also don't need to grab something when I need it to roll.I like the smoothness when it rolls with the use of my foot. I hope this is helpful for you?

The Ball feels like it has a more thick consistency, but isn't heavy. It stays inflated better than ones I have purchased from Target. I really don't feel like it is weighted. (I don't think it is heavy when picking it up)

It is very lightweight. It rolls fairly easily. You need to make sure to secure the unit together..it can pop out of place if not tightened. It is a nice, compact unit. I would not put anything heavy on it.

It's kept it's shape. I put an extra pillow on the side to keep the arms from falling off. It also helps so I can't roll off

It is very light weight but I do not have a problem with it moving around. I have it sitting near my PC to help keep it cool. You might want to return yours I do not have any of those problems with mine, however keep in mind that it is mostly light weight plastic so there will be slight vibration but it should not be strong enough to make the whole unite move.

The ball may have a tear/might be damaged. Lift the ball up out of the box. If the sand flows from it then return! The sand actually supports/weighs down the ball so it doesn't slide/wobble all over the place. Good luck.

Mine was delivered rolled. I don't remember if that was a problem. However, the product was not acceptable. The motion of my desk chair caused it creep on the carpet from the initial position. It required frequent re-positioning. Also the chair casters indented the surface. The chair tended to stay in the indentations; it was difficult to re-position the chair in a new position.

Yes................. I didn't use any sand!You have to help it in but it eventually goes down and the top side comes up! :-)

My office has low pile carpeted floor tiles and I am able to roll around on this chair while sitting on it. It does not roll as easily as a regular office chair. If you have a floor mat or tile/wood floor it should roll easily for you.

Yes, it is. I bought one bag of sand at Walmart and it was enough to fill it. That gives it the weight to not blow over. God bless.

No. This ball does not have sand in it. It actually comes flat and you have to blow it up yourself.
