How well would this ball hold up as a chair in a fourth-grade classroom?

My daughter used it for half a year in third grade. It worked great. Just make sure the teacher has extra pumps because all of the balls needed more air at times.

Probably not, the base of the chair may not allow for a larger sized ball. the chair has adjustable legs.

We ordered this cart for classroom use. It does not come already assembled, but assembly was simple involving primarily putting on the wheels and axles. The cart has held up well with rugged kid use.

I use it at a day camp for kids 4 through 8 yrs. old. This is the second summer. Survived last summer fine. It's a little tall for the 4 year olds. But they love it. Scoreboard works great.

It's a pretty sturdy ball. Just be prepared to pump it up frequently, like all the time.

Yes. It is a lot sturdier than the photo looks. The bat is solid and so is the base. The balls are the only things that are a little soft - they could probably get dented by a foot. My 4 year old has played with it a lot and it has held up surprisingly well for the price.

Two adults/teens can sit comfortably on it or three children. I have one in my teenage daughter's room and one in my classroom. They are very durable. I have had my classroom one for three and a half years (used by kindergarteners and first graders) and it is still in great shape!

That weight will be pushing it. I could see sag happening over time. Not sure I would put more than 3-4 pounds on them so as to be totally comfortable. There is a lot of pressure on the nylon ball that is clamped in with the "jaws." It fatigues over time.

I think it would do great! I find it to be well built and 4 year olds typically know how to treat things nicely. If it gets involved in an occasional temper tantrum, I think it will hold up just fine.

I would describe it as very sturdy. I use it for working jigsaw puzzles. But, I wouldn't hesitate to seat 4-5 kids at it for a side table at a family dinner or to use it as a craft table or something along that line. It is a lightweight table but not flimsy.

depends on the size of the child--I have seen some 5th graders that are too heavy for the chair!

I've seen my students (all sizes) use it and so far, so good. It's low to the ground but it's pretty comfortable.

Quite a bit if it's outside in the sun etc. but not to the ground if that's what your wondering. I have 4 boys and lot's of friends sitiing in those chairs and they last about a year being outside all year arounbd. Hope that helps!

For my classroom purposes, it's fine. My warnings, however, are that the board may be too high up for a three year old. Also, the surface of the board is a bit delicate. Get water, juice, even the oils from your fingers on it, and you will have problems getting it completely clean. I guess my answer is "Look elsewhere".

It holds reasonable weight. My four year old can sit on it and read. The storage is sort of wimpy. We just put barbie stuff in it, so it works, but if you want reasonable toy storage, it does not hold that much.

I got this to use as a ball pit at the birthday party when my son turned one. The one year old babies played in it at the same time with it full of balls, no problem. I hope this helps

Ours has worked out really well. No complaints at all, and our 9 & 7 year olds bounce on this thing several times a day. Now that they know how to keep the whole thing from tipping when they climb on it, hang on it etc., they abuse the handle big time. The middle section of the top bar bends-in a little bit because of this, but frankly I'm DELIGHTED it's lasted as long and is in as good shape as it is!
