The ball has not stunk when unpacking. The surface appears to have a slightly sticky impregnation, but this does not bother much.
That the pump was not with it, I also knew (and which is ultimately also in the product description). Who requires a pump for this quality and this price is well worth the money rather from a much more favorable, short-lived product.
I have simply taken a pre-existing double-stroke pump, its use adapted wonderfully to the circular opening. Super I find the way also that the opening itself is rubberized. This can be easy to connect the pump "infect" and simply lospumpen without having to fret about entfleuchende air.
I had decided on the anthracite-colored variant, the surprisingly well matched in color to the existing furniture and anything but "old" look.
I have the ball inflated to the mentioned diameter sizes and have been wondering that I was already very low. The ball is amazingly soft. So I have the ball a little plumper inflated to sit on a good level and no longer have to have the "chair" feeling. Let's see how long he keeps in normal use.
The one negative is the very dubious-acting maximum load of 500kg. I guess that this information is only meant for static weight and is rather frivolous for dynamic (like a man). A fact-dynamic load of no more than 200 kg can be expected.
Only the still quite sticky surface is a shortcoming, which is why there is not quite 5 star. If this surface, however, decrease after some time and the ball survive several months, I'll readjust the assessment again.
