Reception Desks — Expert Answer

How do I measure a room to pick the right reception desk?

Measure the total lobby width available for the desk (subtract 36"+ on each side for visitor traffic paths). Measure the distance from the front of the planned desk position to the main entrance (aim for the desk to be visible immediately upon entry). Measure depth available behind the desk for the receptionist's workspace (48" minimum). Sketch a simple floor plan with these dimensions before ordering.
