Should a reception desk include built-in storage?

Yes — built-in storage on a reception desk is almost always worth it. A receptionist manages office supplies, visitor logs, ID badges, keys, and often confidential documents throughout the day. Without built-in storage, these items end up cluttering the work surface. At minimum, specify a box/file pedestal under the work surface and a lower cabinet under the transaction counter.
