Back Support:While the Oroblanco mesh back task chair doesn't come with an adjustable lumbar support, the natural curve of the back defiantly get the job done. The breathable mesh keeps the user light and airy without sacrificing support. As mesh chair's go, the Oroblanco is an absolute winner. It's mesh offers the perfect amount of resistance when leaning back and computing naturally.

There's also a tension crank to set the resistance.
Arms:
These days, you don't want to invest in an office chair for daily tasking that doesn't come standard with multi functional arms. The Oroblanco's arms raise, lower, twist, and slide. Needless to say, they passed the sit test. Finding correct and healthy computing angles with the Oroblanco was a breeze.
