The ball seems of good quality, but when it arrived and we inflated it, we found to our dismay that it was covered in a film of oil or grease. We tried to wash it off with warm soapy water, but no luck. We called the company and they very kindly and promptly said they'd ship a new one. They said they had never heard of that problem. They new one arrived in short order, and was also very oily / greasy. I have washed it three times now in very hot soapy water, and it seems a bit better, but nowhere near clean. Very disappointing. We need this item for therapy for our daughter, and it is very frustrating not to be able to use it. I'll give it a couple more washings tonight to see if I can get it clean, and give up if I can't. Dust and hair from the carpet are sticking to it, and I'm afraid it will stain the carpet or my daughter's clothes. Buying a ball should be simple, but I've wasted a lot of time and energy on the Gymnastik greaseball.

Advantages: Not just good for your spine, but fun too! Disadvantages: Doesn't fit through my doors when fully inflated, so can't move it from room to room.
