I'm 45 and have been working in the evenings at this "perfectly fine" desk and chair for 20 years now. However, it turns out that 12 hours a day this "perfectly fine" setup is already aggravating previously-identified ergonomics issues, which have previously been dealt with by standard office ergonomics setups. In fact that Aeron chair and sit/stand desk at the office was pitched to me as part of the total compensation package. I would not have been able to work there if they gave me a "perfectly fine" door to use as a desk with a $50 task chair. So yes, I think my employer should reimburse my office setup at home.
