I think not hiring because you can't afford $200 chairs is silly-I can either hire you now or wait until I can afford 600 chairs. There are part time employees out there too! I was specifically referring to the fact that as an employer I am doing the best I can to get good chairs within a budget. These chairs are extremely comfortable and happened to be affordable.

I went to IKEA looking for chairs—and hated all of them. To me, these chairs are very comfortable.

I think you're missing my point. Chair quality is a red herring. It's "visibly splurging on the founder" that's going to kill you.

If you stopped by our office I think you would say there isn't any splurging anywhere-we aren't VC backed
