Reception desks and reception counters for offices, salons, clinics and retail checkouts, from two brands: Reception Counter Solutions and Casa Mare. Shapes include straight counters, L-shaped desks and two-person workstations. Where length is listed, most lines come in 4 ft (48 in) to 8 ft (96 in), and the Elite runs 16 ft.

How to choose a reception desk

  • Shape: a straight counter works for one greeting point. L-shaped models such as the Onix L-shape add extra work and counter surface.
  • One or two staff: four modular two-person workstations, including the Alpha, give each employee their own storage and can be grouped into a larger front desk. For a single receptionist, the shortest listed length is 4 ft.
  • Counter height vs work surface: visitors use the raised front ledge (the transaction counter), and staff work at a lower desk behind it. The Maddox is 38 in tall and the Memphis with Dallas Slats is 42 in tall, both with a 30 in rear desk height.
  • Accessible section: the Onix L-shape lists an ADA-compliant lowered section, and the ADA Malibu has a drop-down section (the maker advises checking your local building code). See our ADA reception desk height guide.
  • Materials: wipe-clean high-pressure laminate or melamine, distressed and reclaimed wood with hot-rolled steel, or torched pine. Several models have built-in LED lighting.

Reception desk FAQ

What is the difference between a reception desk and a reception counter?
The terms overlap: many models are sold as either one. The usual design pairs a raised front counter for visitors with a lower desk for staff, and several are also described as sales counters for retail checkout.

How tall is a reception desk?
Listed front heights in this range run from 37 in to 42-1/4 in, with a 30 in rear desk height where stated. Under the 2010 ADA Standards, the accessible part of a sales or service counter must be no higher than 36 in.

Do reception desks come assembled?
Most need some assembly. They typically ship flat-packed with knockdown or foldable parts, and several list assembly in under 15 minutes.

Solid wood construction. Love it! We added wallpaper to the back of the open shelves.

The Halifax medium cabinet works so well as our pantry. It is a solid beautiful piece, the glass doors adding to the country charm I was looking for. I am very happy with this purchase, the cabinet was also delivered in perfect condition. Thank you, CW Gold Coast

Cheryle W.

Thanks for the beautiful chairs which are perfect for my verandah. It was a long wait but worth it and you kept me informed about the shipment delay the whole time. Great delivery man as well!!

Ruth F.

Love the glass top doors to show off my china and the bottom solid part of the door to hide the things I don’t need to have seen.

Karen P.

I love that this is basically assembly free. All we had to do was attach the top to the base. Took less than a few minutes. It is very nice quality. The drawers and doors work well. It is very heavy so it took some heavy lifting. Completes the room beautifully!

Hannah

Love the size and look of the buffet, it is sturdy and holds a lot of stuff.
