mm.... I would buy cheap desks. you know the $50 kind. And the cheap chairs are always the most comfortable, believe it or not. I can't stand working at a desk without a proper keyboard tray and mouse pad. In many ways having a comfortable working environment is very important. But comfortable != luxurious. Keep it cheap, just not so cheap that you can't get work done because it's not comfortable.

  don't even know what that is. But chair brands don't matter to me. From what I have had to choose from in office supply/department stores. The cheap ones are more comfy than the expensive ones on average, and especially on a cost/value ratio.

IMHO it takes weeks to get all the settings right, and at the end of the process you've still got the unsettling feeling that your ass feels really hot for some reason not fully apparent.

Surely spoken by someone without back problems caused by sitting in bad, cheap, chairs. Another vote for Herman Miller chairs, by the way. I've tried Humanscale and Knoll, but find that I don't like them and keep coming back to the Aeron and the Mirra. Great chairs, very supportive and comfortable.

  > Surely spoken by someone without back problems caused by sitting in bad, cheap, chairs. Allow me to recommend the humble Pilates/gym ball. Comfortable, fun to bounce around on while thinking, and does wonders for your back. Plus, at £7 from your nearest Tesco, the price point is most definitely startup-compatible :)

    The nearest Tesco is a few thousand miles away. Cheaper for me to just buy an Aeron.
