    I can see you are still looking for the chair :)
    This one has already been proposed in a similar thread and you won't find a better one for this money. It looks decent, has the ability to adjust many elements, a mesh backrest and a headrest. If you don't sit down, you won't check :) . Order by mail order, test if you will not return it :)

    Sometimes you can get something off the top shelf after winding up your business :) . Check out the ads on OLX. It will be a stimulant often unused.

    Once upon a time, such armchairs were sold by "Agata". See, maybe they still have it, some will be presented at the exhibition.

    I have and recommend it. Small inconveniences are the armrests crumble, but you can buy and replace. Castors with a brake are missing a bit.

    4 years. the corners of the armrests break. You can stick it with, for example, silicone for some time. A set of armrests about PLN 50.

    The net will last. As for the headrest, I do not use it.

    back pain, often in the lumbar region, but also sometimes in the cervical region.

    I understand you passed an orthopedist. The doctor recommended swimming for me.

    How about the ergonomics of other hardware components? Do you have a monitor at the right height? You're not using your laptop by accident (it's not very ergonomic). I recommend the Workrave program - it suggests taking breaks while working with the computer.

    I had a backache in my lower back when the backrest fell down and pressed in the wrong place, at the wrong height. Picking it up did the trick. The offer says that the backrest is adjustable, but I do not see any explanation or adjustable up and down.

    As for neck pain, pick up the monitor, put it on books, just don't bend your head down so that the vertebrae fit together as nature invented, i.e. a parallel load along the entire length of the vertebrae's contact. The bending causes the contact surface to resemble a V, and certain vertebrae contact points are more stressed than others. A bad habit chair will not help, sometimes it will force a better posture

    Sometimes it is worth investing a cent in a physiotherapist who will diagnose and explain. I use it because sitting is half of my life (such a job)

FAQ

TL;DR: 4-year armrest wear reported; “the corners of the armrests break.” Diablo V‑BASIC offers value ergonomics, mesh support, and easy at‑home testing. This FAQ helps desk users with lumbar/neck pain choose, set up, and maintain the chair without overspending. [Elektroda, bigrom, post #18237200]

Why it matters: Smart setup plus a well-chosen chair can reduce pain and prevent wasted purchases.

Quick Facts

Is the Diablo V‑BASIC a good ergonomic chair for back pain at this price?

Within this budget, users recommended the V‑BASIC as the best value. It offers multiple adjustments, a mesh back, and a headrest. Comfort is personal, so sit in it before deciding. Order online, test at your desk, and return if it does not fit. [Elektroda, haderach, post #18234421]

How long do the V‑BASIC armrests last, and what do replacements cost?

An owner reported armrest corners cracking after about four years. A temporary silicone patch can extend usability. Replacement armrest sets cost around PLN 50. Budget for eventual replacement if you rest weight on armrests often. [Elektroda, bigrom, post #18237200]

Does the mesh back stretch or sag over time?

A user reported the mesh back holds up well. In their words, “The net will last.” The headrest is present, but some owners choose not to use it. Evaluate comfort during your test period. [Elektroda, bigrom, post #18237228]

Are the stock wheels soft, and do they have brakes?

Owners missed having braked casters on the V‑BASIC. If you need roll control or softer wheels, consider aftermarket casters. Swapping casters is a common, easy upgrade. [Elektroda, bigrom, post #18237180]

I182 cm tallwill the headrest and backrest fit me?

Fit depends on body shape and desk setup. The V‑BASIC has many adjustments and a headrest, but you should test it. Order online, use it at your desk, and return it if it does not fit you. [Elektroda, haderach, post #18234421]

How should I set monitor height to relieve neck pain?

Raise the monitor to eye level with books or a riser. Keep your head neutral so vertebrae load evenly. “A bad habit chair will not help,” so address posture too. This aligns your neck better during screen work. [Elektroda, n.vision, post #18243954]

The backrest slips and presses the wrong spothow do I fix it?

Lift the backrest to stop pressure on the wrong area. One user’s lumbar pain eased after raising the backrest. Ensure the backrest locks at height. If it will not lock, contact support or consider a different model. [Elektroda, n.vision, post #18243954]

Is it worth hunting for used premium chairs instead?

Yes. Check OLX for top‑shelf models from closed offices. These are often little‑used and can outperform budget chairs. You may get better ergonomics for similar money. [Elektroda, haderach, post #18234608]

Where can I try similar ergonomic chairs in person?

Visit Agata furniture showrooms. Similar ergonomic armchairs have been sold there, with some on display. In‑store trials help confirm fit before you buy. [Elektroda, steve2, post #18236349]

Beyond the chair, what else helps lumbar or cervical pain?

Consult an orthopedist or physiotherapist. A doctor recommended swimming to one user with back pain. Professional guidance complements any chair change. [Elektroda, matjon, post #18242298]

Can software remind me to take healthy breaks?

Yes. Use Workrave to prompt breaks during computer work. Break reminders reduce long, uninterrupted sitting bouts. This supports healthier habits while you evaluate your chair. [Elektroda, matjon, post #18242413]

What alternatives to the V‑BASIC are in a similar budget?

Users pointed to Birawy GN‑301 and B2B Partner UNO as cheaper options. Compare their adjustment range and materials to the V‑BASIC. Try before you commit when possible. [Elektroda, haderach, post #18234826]

What quirks or issues have owners reported with the V‑BASIC?

Two common notes: armrests can crumble with time, and stock casters lack brakes. Both are manageable with replacements. The chair remains recommendable despite these minor issues. [Elektroda, bigrom, post #18237180]

How do I test a chair at home and decide whether to keep it?

  1. Order the V‑BASIC by mail from a store with returns.
  2. Assemble it, adjust elements, and test at your desk.
  3. If it does not fit, return it within the seller’s window. [Elektroda, haderach, post #18234421]

Whats the budget difference between V‑BASIC and V‑Master?

In this thread: V‑BASIC at about PLN 897 and V‑Master at about PLN 1,300. If you sit less, V‑BASIC may suffice. Choose based on budget and time at the desk. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #18234641]
