What are the real differences between straight, L-shaped, and curved reception desks?

Straight desks are the simplest and most affordable — one linear counter facing visitors. L-shaped desks add a return for a secondary work area while the primary counter stays visitor-facing. Curved desks wrap staff on multiple sides for maximum workspace and a dramatic lobby presence, but they need 10–14 feet of floor space and a larger budget.
