Great balance board
I recently acquired a standing desk and have been trying to incorporate some healthy habits into my daily routine. The desk came with a 360 degree motion board - and its fine - however, the range of tilt motion is not that great. I was looking for something that was a bit more challenging.I really like this board a lot. It easily has another inch of height to it, which makes it more challenging to rock sideways or up/down. The magnetic rockers make it super easy to switch the direction of travel. I like that I can be typing emails or participating in conference calls while doing something other than just sitting in a chair. The grippy surface has some positives and negatives. Obviously, the grip helps you stay in place, but at times I do miss the cushioned surface that I have on the other board, it is useful when wearing socks, for example.When you have the board in the sideways position, you can get a little bit of rotational movement but it's not quite the same as the 360 board. I think it would be great if Sportneer offered an option to put a 360 rocker - it should be do-able with the magnetic holes and that would give you a choice of 3 different types of motion.

Great for standing desks
I don’t really know what you’re supposed to do with this, but I use it while working all the time. Gives me activity without being distracting. I can do calf raises all day. It’s fine to balance. It looks great. It’s built well. I’m heavy, no issues. The only negative is the feet of the board are connected to the board by plastic. I bent one, but I put it back in and haven’t had problems.

Helpful for exercise or stretching, but BE CAREFUL
I have a non-organic hip (it's made of titanium and I've had it about 8 years now) and it hasn't stopped me from doing anything, except, sadly running (because according to my doctor, it hastens replacement because of the impact). I do walk 6 miles on it every weekday (and my doctor said that doesn't hasten replacement [or I wouldn’t do it]), and this year I also took up a hula hoop and learned to do it because – hip action. This platform then, seemed like another interesting way to keep my hip functioning and mobile.And it is, but even with my bio-hip, it's both a challenge, and if not carefully used, potentially dangerous.So be careful if you get this. Don't, for instance, stand near a glass door or window because if you lose your balance it could be very dangerous. Clear yourself some space so you don’t fall or sway into furniture.Having given both an obvious, but nonetheless necessary, warning, I will say, that my new goal is to try to balance and hula hoop at the same time, although I find it extremely unlikely to ever be tried, let alone achieved; but really, what's a goal if it's easily attained?There are several potential ways to use this and balance which can be tried with the board in two different directions, each of which presents a different challenge. But also, and more safely, if balance is a real concern, you can swap out the two semi-circular pieces which mandate the board for balance, there's a straight angle mounting which allows the board to be used for calf and ankle stretching -- there are two angles that allow to increase the stretch. Read the directions on this and make sure to screw the pieces in correctly.I have the basic balance down with the circular support on either side of my feet (the more difficult challenge is rotating the piece 90 degrees and having your feet on either side of the circular supports. I would say the hula hooping is many moons down the road if ever, but it's a great device, but be very conscious of the safety issues attendant to a small balance board. I would not recommend this to everyone for that reason.

Excellent for Desk Work
I use this balance board at my standing desk, and it’s been amazing for keeping me active throughout the day. The magnetic suction base makes it easy to switch between rocking motions, which keeps my legs engaged and improves my posture. The wooden construction feels premium, and the non-slip surface is great for maintaining stability even with shoes on. It’s not just a workout tool—it’s a wellness boost for my daily routine. Highly recommend for anyone with a desk job!

Non slip fitness enhancer!
This balance board is great! Well made of plywood, not some substandard wood or plastic material, and finished with a clear finish, it promises to be ready to workout more than me.The deck surface has a super non-slip surface that will keep your feet firmly planted where you place them. (Probably best not to use it with only socks or barefoot)The interchangeable feet are great too, so that it's like having two fitness devices, one for tendon stretching, and one for ankle stability.This is a welcome addition to the workout box!

Balance board
Feels like a solid product with a thick wooden board. The bases install and are switched with two thumbscrews, making it easy to assemble and switch between base types. It's good that it's easy, as I didn't see any instructions included, either for assembly or for recommended exercises. The top is that old standard sandpapery non-slip paint, which should durable and suitably gripy.

Really nice balance/stretch board
This is an outstanding value in balance and achilles stretch boards.Construction is first rate: it appears to be 9 ply birch plywood with nicely rounded over edges, smooth sanded finish, and a full traction-tape top. The brackets to hold the feet/rockers are plastic but feel to be pretty stout. They're attached to the various points via peg holes and what feels like a hidden magnetic catch. It would be very difficult to DIY this board for much less than the retail price. If you have scrap cabinet grade birch and about 500 bucks worth of tools, maybe.I found the balance board to be big enough for my size 14 feet but compact enough that I can stick it under my sit-stand desk at work without it taking up all the area. I find that the balance feet provide just enough core, leg, and hip stimulation to keep me alert and not stiff during the course of a workday. I also like the fact that I can get a bit of a calf stretch at any given point, even on the rocker bases.I like this apparatus and would recommend it to anyone with a sit-stand desk who deals with muscle tightness and lower back issues.
