Anyone use these? How do you find them?

I have only ever sat on them for shortish periods of time but found them to be more comfortable that I initially though they would be.

Might consider one myself as I have noticed my slumped position in front of my PC is getting worse.
 
Always thought these look awful, wheres the back support? I need that or I get so much pain.
 
We had one, but it ended up being used to play xbox, by sitting on the bit where your knees go and slouching away :p

Not really comfortable, and it looks ridiculous!

I need something to lean my back to or else it will start hurting but maybe that's just me :p

which suggests you have poor posture which needs correcting.

The design of the chair forces your back into an upright position. Seems strange but if you put yourself into that position now, you will find that you cannot slouch.
 
I found it made my legs go numb after a bit when I tried one, but it might not have been setup correctly for me.

EDIT: I personally like a chair with a high back so I can rest my head and also arm rests.

That and also a previous job that was a strain on my back (heavy lifting etc) :)
At job I use a chair that is long-ish with support for the whole body that also forces you into a proper posture. For me that works better than this kind of chair.
 
I got one last week and go between it and my chair equally. My back was starting to ache in the mornings and this has sorted that out for me already. It was around £30.
 
I used to use one and they are reasonably comfortable despite the way they look. Having said that I no longer use one and don't miss it one bit - so don't expect it to change your world.
 
I used one of these for about a year in an office where I worked; I found it stored and forgotten in a cupboard. It was incredibly comfortable but ungainly to get onto and off - especially in a hurry.

It was eventually taken away and destroyed by the H&S Gestapo during a risk assessment - they wouldn't even let me take it home :(
