Reception Desks — Expert Answer

How do I choose a reception desk for a small lobby?

Small lobbies need a compact reception desk that leaves enough room for visitor queuing (at least 36" in front of the desk) without blocking traffic flow. A straight or slightly L-shaped desk keeps the footprint small. Avoid large curved or wraparound designs that dominate small spaces. Desk widths of 48"–60" are ideal for small lobbies.
