For me a chair is important. I don't really care about perks and other stuff but knowing that I sit around 8 hours every day for a couple years in a good chair is as important for me as the work station. And in most of the startups I worked so far there were only cheap chairs not so good for my back. In a way I understand the owners: they have startup they should buy the cheapest things possible because they don't know how long their startup will survive, but I like when someone makes an effort to provide good working conditions for the programmers. I also used to care about the noise level, but again working in startups I had to get used to noisy open spaces.
