Comment on Ask HN: If you could pimp out your office what would you do?

Comments

Stuff in decreasing order of importance:

2-3 monitors per room, with stands allowing them to mount longwise or wide.

Aeron Chairs (they're really that nice for long hours)

Adjustable Height Desks (manual is fine)

Rubberized floor mats (a la the grocery store)

Actual offices with walls and doors

Whiteboards

Lots of Zones of AC (as you grow, some parts of the floor will require tons more cooling to stay bearable. Once temperatures get out of a narrow range, a sizable minority of the population loses huge swaths of productivity from lack of concentration)

Coffee machine (1 touch, not barista style)

Coke Machine

Filtered Water dispenser (not bottled)

Dehumidifiers/Humidifiers for the AC system (you want a constant level in the midrange to not hurt equipment/cause mold yet keep everyone's sinuses/scalp not dry). It sounds silly, but it makes a huge difference for general health.
