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 daughter filled the base with water They use a lighter ball than a regular basketball. The weight is in the back. They love it.. You can also fill the base with sand if you prefer

The ball is not weighted and is not that heavy. Very easy to roll around on and great exercise. My grandson who is 8 had lots of fun on it also.

It is not on casters, so it doesn't roll. However, it's really lightweight and fairly easy to move around.

This ball DOES NOT BOUNCE. It is filled with very malleable material or sand. It is more of a rubber coated sandbag than a ball.

I use my ball chair daily, and have no problems rolling between desks. I have two desks set in an L pattern and move freely between them. I love my chair.

No it doesn't move. But I had 2 of them and they both broke right around the ball joint

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.

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.

There are two rods that slide and lock in beteeen so that balls will not fall. You can travel without issues.

Correct. It does not roll, but I honestly prefer it to chairs with wheels. It slides forward/backward very easily on carpet because of the rounded caps on the bar. Side to side is not as easy.

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.

Yep, it's just a foam mat so you can move it aside easily. It is too high for a chair to roll over, so you will need to physically move it away from your desk.

The ball appears to be made of vinyl. Sturdy enough for young children, but isn't a rough type material. Of course, it's smaller than a regulation basketball, and fits into little hands very nicely. Making "scores" a sure thing. :)The ball also has an air valve for adding more air, if desired. The ball, as packed, arrived with a moderate amount of airand we added a wee bit more, in order to get a bit better bounce. Hope that's helpful.

No. I had concerns about that but have not found it an issue. It is of good weight on the base plate so it doesn't slide around. It just has a "functional" roll when you want it to move.

I have used it in soft sand and it rolls fine. The only thing you must do is pull it behind you rather than push it.

Yes, it's better than other stability balls because it has some sand or something in it so it doesn't roll around, it stays put if you're not putting any pressure on it. Only like 8 oz in it so you can still move it around. It's great quality
