I know mlrtime's comment probably isn't conducive to a good discussion, but it's worth noting that his example isn't that crazy. There are lots of extremely expensive adjustable desks for folks who want to stand up while they work, and most are bought by government agencies or large lumbering firms.

It's not that courts mandate super expensive desks per se, but their mandate interacts with several other institutional disfunctions and, in real life, leads to mid- and lower-level employees buying $10k desks on someone else's dime.
