People who work in an office, what equipment are you provided with?

Question

Now that my job is returning to office, I'm feeling a bit disappointed as my home-office setup for the past two years was much better than what my company provides in their office.For those of you that have to work in an office, what equipment does your company provide? What monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, etc do you have? Do you have any choice in what they provide, or is it predefined?

They provided desks and chairs (just some fairly typical office chairs), a workstation-grade Dell laptop and matching dock for it. I paid for a pair of bluetooth headphones out of pocket because I didn't want them to be tied to the job.
I got "I'll tell you if it's too much" as a budget for peripherals. Bought 2 24" 1440p Dell monitors, a 2-monitor stand, decent keyboard, wireless mouse.
Going remote, I brought everything but the office furniture with me, but use my personal 27" monitor in place of the 2nd 24" one, so between my hardware and the company's, I've got 3 screens.

~$6b revenue tech company: We can pick up a used chair (2 choices) and a monitor. We get $50 per month to cover the rest (internet, electricity, office setup, ...).

We have predefined things, but can pretty much order and expense anything we want, within reason.
