> $1500/1920 work hours a year = $0.78/hr. Seems reasonable to me.

If that sounds good to you, consider $150/1920 instead for a thought experiment! Sounds about fair for someone like me who assuredly could work for years on end sitting on a rock or any random plastic chair outside Hanoi for all I care.. I'd be madly paranoid about spilling coffee or such sitting in a 1500 piece of furniture

I write to you from an Aeron chair I acquired from a failed startup in 2001. I've gotten almost 16 years out of it so far, and I spend at least 8 hours a day 5 days a week in it. I've spilled coffee and food on it, and was able to clean it with just a bit of Dawn detergent and a hose.

I'm not willing to compromise on my health or my working conditions. Too old for that. Spend money on things that make your life more comfortable or easier when you can.
