How wide should a reception desk be?

For a single-staff reception station, a minimum of 60" wide is standard — enough for a monitor, phone, and paperwork without feeling cramped. Two-staff configurations typically start at 96"–120". If ADA compliance is required, one section must be at least 36" wide at the lowered counter height.
