Wheelchair accessible reception desks need a lowered service section that a visitor in a wheelchair can reach. The three desks in this collection are the ones whose product pages mention ADA: each is listed with an ADA-height counter section or ADA-compliant functionality. For the rules behind that, read our guide to ADA reception desk height, and for all other styles see reception desks.

ADA compliant reception desks

Desk ADA feature as listed
ADA Malibu Reception Desk Drop-down section for ADA use; commercial-grade antimicrobial laminate
Newport Reception Desk L-shape; ADA-compliant functionality; color-changing LED lighting
Onix Reception Counter (L Shape) Clean white finish; L-shape with an ADA-compliant lowered section

None of the three pages publishes the height of the lowered section. Ask us for measurements before you buy.

What to know before you choose

  • Check your local code. The ADA Malibu page says to check your local building code to confirm the desk is ADA compliant in your area. Treat every ADA claim the same way.
  • The rule of thumb. The 2010 ADA Standards set the accessible portion of a sales or service counter at 36 inches maximum above the floor. Our guide covers the length and knee-clearance rules.
  • Accessible reception desk shapes. The Newport and the Onix are both L-shape layouts. The ADA Malibu is a single desk with a drop-down section.
  • Not certified as wheelchair desks. The pages say ADA-compliant or ADA use. They do not say wheelchair-certified, so we use the ADA wording.

Frequently asked questions

Are these wheelchair accessible desks for office workers too?

I decided that a mattress topper might be what takes our cabinet bed to the next level. Indeed it does.
Our houseguests this week report that it is extremely comfortable. Definitely worth this upgrade.

It’s a winner!

After shopping in furniture stores and online searches for a Murphy cabinet bed, I happened upon this one. The dimensions fit our space and the style is neutral enough to blend well with other furniture. We chose the cherry finish which is really lovely, The ratings provided by other shoppers were really helpful, and at several suggestions decided to also order the Memory foam mattress topper from this site.
Communication from the company was excellent as we planned for the arrival. My husband and I (both age 75) were able to easily assemble by following the video instructions which included unloading the freight parcel and moving it into the house. Allow 2+ hours start to finish. It’s a winner!

I’m so happy I chose Archic Furniture for my LuxCraft Adirondack Outdoor Poly Balcony Chair. I absolutely love it! The craftsmanship is beautiful, the chair feels exceptionally sturdy, and it’s so comfortable that it has quickly become my favorite place to sit and relax outside. The balcony height is perfect for enjoying the view, and it looks fantastic in my outdoor space. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Archic Furniture has definitely earned my five stars!

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
