Reception Desks & Counters

 

A reception desk sets the tone at your front door and gives staff a proper workspace behind a presentable counter. Look for a raised counter that screens the desktop from visitors, the width to suit your foyer, and a finish that fits your brand. Pair it with visitor chairs and a sofa, or read the guide below.

A reception desk has a raised counter that screens the working desktop, paperwork and screen from visitors standing in front, while still giving staff a proper desk behind. It is built to look presentable from the front as the first thing visitors see.
Measure the space so the desk suits the foyer without crowding it or looking lost in a large lobby. Allow room for staff to move behind it and for visitors to approach comfortably, and consider sightlines from the entrance.
Look for a desk with a lower counter section, which provides an accessible height for seated visitors and wheelchair users alongside the standing counter. Ask us if accessibility is a requirement for your setup.
Each listing is labelled assembly required or assembled. Larger reception units may ship flat for assembly, and some products offer assembly for a fee under the Assembly option on the product page.
All our furniture carries a warranty that varies by product, so review the listing or ask when ordering. Individual buyers are also covered by the Consumer Guarantees Act.

First impressions, and a working desk

A reception desk does two jobs at once. It greets visitors with a presentable, branded front, and it gives your reception staff a real working desk behind it. The feature that makes a reception desk rather than an ordinary desk is the raised counter, which screens the desktop, paperwork and screen from people standing in front.

When choosing, measure the foyer so the desk suits the space without crowding it, think about the finish and whether it matches your branding, and consider accessibility, including a lower section if you need a counter that works for seated visitors or wheelchair users. Reception furniture works best chosen alongside the waiting-area seating so the whole space looks coordinated.

The first thing visitors see

A reception desk sets the tone at your front door and gives staff a proper workspace behind a presentable counter. The feature that makes it a reception desk rather than an ordinary desk is the raised counter, which screens the desktop, paperwork and screen from people standing in front while keeping a full working desk behind.

Choosing the right one

Measure the foyer so the desk suits the space without crowding it, choose a finish that fits your branding, and consider a lower counter section for accessibility if you need to serve seated visitors or wheelchair users. Reception furniture looks best chosen alongside the seating, so pair it with visitor chairs and a sofa for a coordinated waiting area. The full desk range is in office desks.
