This is something you need to clarify with the company. My company has remote employees, but they get company owned laptops, monitors, etc.. When the employee leaves the company, they have to ship the company owned equipment back. You need to have this clarified in writing if you expect to keep the equipment.

I'd almost assume the company owns all the equipment. You'll be expected to ship it back with them covering cost of shipping unless your reach some kind of agreement. Maybe they won't want to pay for freight shipping on a desk and chair and tell you to just keep it if you leave on good terms. But you shouldn't expect it to be yours. While probably not a good negotiation topic (there's more pressing ones like pay and vacation), it's something you could inquire about or negotiate in the discussions.
