BONA Balance Board Trainer for Fun, Challenging Wooden Balance Boards with Adjustable Stoppers – 3 Different Distance Options 4, 12 and 21 inches

We're on a huge balance kick in our household, so in one shot we ordered a wobble cushion, 360 balance board, and this Bona roller board. Holy heck, this board is friggin' fun. Mind you, I'm not a skater or surfer, but I was a kid that loved to balance on things such as banisters and chairs.Packaging: 4/5Board came in a simple box and the pieces were bubble wrapped inside. Nothing was damaged. If you want an eco-friendly simple cardboard box, this is 5/5. If you're buying this as a gift and want a fancy box with a cool design, this is 3/5.Materials: 5/5Solid wood and grip. Nice wood finish. The bumpers seem to work well and don't feel flimsy. The roller is also pretty nice, but I'm not sure how long it will last. Hopefully there will be no problems in the long run.Usability: 5/5The first time stepping on this was a trip. The second time was more familiar and got easier. The third and forth time was just me finding new limits to push towards. I'm still using the bumpers, but I feel like I'll get to the point where I won't need them soon. Can't wait.Re-buy:Yes. I will note that I wouldn't buy a product like this at over a $100 price range. But at under $75, I can definitely justify the purchase. It's hard to say if a more expensive balance board offers something better... something I'm not aware that I'm missing out on, but I'm really into this bona board and think it's worth it. The bonus is that I don't feel like I'm exercising.

This is a great board! Sturdy and solid. The material on top is pretty high grit and grippy so you definitely won’t be slipping off it in socks but I would definitely recommend shoes. I bought this to use at my standing desk when I am at work to try and sneak in a core workout at the same time.The one downfall to this product is that this balance board arrived with minor cosmetic damage. When I was opening the box I heard quite a bit of rattling (not what you want to hear with a wooden product) and once opened I noticed that the safety stoppers were just free floating in the box they had came out of the small bubble wrap pouch they were shipped in. Then I’m guessing during transit them floating around caused the minor scuffs and scratches. Not to big a deal but still a disappointment. I don’t typically want new things messed up before I get to mess them up lol.Overall I would purchase this board again and will be back in a couple of months to update on how well it’s held up.

The media could not be loaded.  I started up my gym room again, and found my balance is suffering where I found this with good reviews, and gave it a try. The board is good quality solid wood, good none slip base, and well thought out control tape strips on the bottom with nice sized stops so that I have found no way to pass over them, where I stop perfectly every time. The board to roller size is absolutely perfect. Very easy to use, my balance has already improved significantly in just a week, where I can say that this board works extremely well for improving balance control, where I had no balance hardly at all. I had to show a video on this one showing how easy is was for me. No cons, can't think of a single one, where I have very happy with the purchase.

The one issue, others have mentioned the same thing but I figured I would give it a shot anyway, it’s the seam on the roller. There just doesn’t seem to be a good spot to place it so you can avoid the bump.It’s not a deal breaker, it in some cases increases the level of difficulty. I just wish it was smoother and didn’t need to worry about it causing my balance to be disrupted.Board is great quality. It’s grip tape not foam like you would find on a sup.

This is a lot of fun. The board looks nice, there is good traction. The instructions are quite poor, poorly translated into English as well, but you can always get ideas from YouTube on similar boards. It is important to at least start on carpeting or some other non slippery surface, it might even be important to stay on such a surface, even when you get better. I went from falling off within a second to being able to stay on for several minutes after a couple of weeks, and I am in my 60s and not an athlete. It is the kind of “exercise” that you can do for a minute here and there, it is very good for developing balance.I feel the seam that others complain about but it was never a problem.

After breaking my foot, having surgery, and months of Physical Therapy, my balance is still not back to normal. I bought this balancing board and am not disappointed. It has a great nonslip surface, good size, ability to adjust to comfort balance level which was particularly important for me, and good value for the price. Would definitely recommend it.

I was pleasantly surprised by this balance board. I had looked at many others & decided to try this one as a starter. I’m glad I did. For the cost, it had superseded what I wanted. Very well made. Can always upgrade from here of course. As a first balance board, I’m impressed with it. Plus it is super fun & great exercise.

The board and roller were exactly as advertised. I love the thing. Start out using it on a short nap / berber carpet, maybe put a chair in front of you to grab on to for added balance. I didn't use a chair and when I first used the board I could not stay up for ten seconds. The board would dig into the carpet and I just stepped off. Never came close to falling and I'm no young buck. In less than 10 days I can stay up for minutes. Excellent workout. Exercises muscles I never use just walking and stretching. The greatest benefit to me is how much better balanced I feel just walking, climbing, and going about everyday business. It even helped my golf swing, where I would often fall out of my stance during the swing. And now that has almost disappeared.
