#3PSA: Used office chairs are a much better deal than new, at least if you are paying close to list price. About 10 years ago I bought a steelcase leap for less than $300. I've used it at least 250 days a year since then with no problems. List price on that chair is $1k.

I imagine they assume you already own a chair and a computer, but may want to buy a second monitor for example to make it easier to work.

#5You can buy a Herman Miller refurb on Amazon for $500. It's a great deal. You also need a second monitor, mechanical keyboard, webcam, headset. $1k is plenty for all of that

People with mechanical keyboards in conference calls can jump in a lake. haha

If it's for work, see if you can get your company to order if through whoever they get their office furniture from. I know my previous company paid around $650 each for the Herman Miller Embody

#8Our office just closed too. We're using it as an experiment for wider work from home in the future. This could have widespread impact on work culture.
If it works out, that $1k/person could pay dividends in savings if they can reduce office space.

Not at all the most important thing, but mechanical keyboards are going to be sold out so fast. There are tons of people who want them, but just don’t want to bug people in their office. WFH will change that. And it’s mostly small suppliers who won’t scale that fast. I imagine they use some Chinese parts, too.

Assuming you should already own a chair that shouldn’t be worth less than about $1k (or a bit less than that second-hand) is a bit extreme.
