Reception Desks — Expert Answer
What kind of floor protection do I need under a reception desk?
Place adhesive felt pads under all desk base components to prevent scratching hardwood or tile flooring. On carpet, no floor protection is needed for the desk itself — but a chair mat under the receptionist's chair area prevents carpet wear and allows the chair to roll freely. For heavy stone or solid hardwood floors, wide rubber pads distribute the desk's weight more evenly. FindOfficeFurniture.com has reception desks with flat base designs that work well on all floor types — call 888-719-4960.
