If not, then it shows a lot about the employer. You risk looking like a company that buys cheap desktops, and and small screens to save money, but don't realise they are loosing tons in the way of lost productivity.

At home I have an $200 Ikea chair, and it is really nice. Not bank breaking for sure, but I expect my employer buy something similar in comfort level. Doesn't have to be a top of the line, but something that I can sit for few hours at a time without breaking my back.

I learned it the hard way, but I will never work in a place that cheaps out on chairs.

If you can't afford a $200 chair per employee, then you shouldn't be hiring. You need founders, and they can bring their own chair.
