Can a reception desk work for a receptionist who wants to stand while working?

The 42-inch transaction counter is close to standing height but faces visitors, not staff. The actual work surface behind it sits at 29–30 inches for seated use. If your receptionist needs to stand, you'll want either a sit-stand mechanism built into the staff side or a fixed 42–44 inch staff surface. FindOfficeFurniture.com carries reception configurations with sit-stand options — call 888-719-4960 to discuss what would work for your layout.
