What's the minimum width for a functional single-person reception desk?

For a single staff position, 60 inches wide is the practical minimum — enough for a monitor, phone, and paperwork without feeling cramped. Two-staff setups start at 96–120 inches. If ADA compliance is required, at least one section must be 36 inches wide at the lowered counter height. FindOfficeFurniture.com carries reception desks from compact 48-inch single units up to 120-inch-plus curved suites — call 888-719-4960 to find the right width for your lobby.
