A wood slat reception desk (also called a wooden slat reception desk or slatted desk) has a front made of separate wood strips. This collection lists the five slatted desks in the Memphis family from Reception Counter Solutions: the Memphis, White Washed Memphis, Memphis With Dallas Slats, the White Memphis with Glass Riser and Cedar Slats, and the White L Shape Memphis. For desks without slats, see all wood reception desks or all reception desks.

Slats are described as distressed, burned and stained, or cedar, so each desk varies.

What to know before you choose

  • Slat material differs. The Memphis and White Washed Memphis use repurposed wood slats that are burned and stained. The Memphis With Dallas Slats uses distressed cedar slats, and the glass riser model also lists cedar slats. The White L Shape Memphis lists gray-washed distressed wood slats.
  • Distressed look. Every slatted reception desk here has a hand-worked finish. The Memphis and White Washed Memphis pages say every desk is slightly different, so expect variation from the photos.
  • Riser. All five have a riser above the counter. The Memphis pages describe it as live edge or simulated live edge.
  • Height. Three pages list 42 inches tall and 30 inches deep (Memphis With Dallas Slats, White Memphis with Glass Riser, White L Shape Memphis).

Beautiful!! I was hesitant to purchase a piece line this site unseen, it's even more gorgeous in person. It's made of all wood and very heavy.

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.
