Is a straight desk a good choice for a reception area?

A straight desk can work for a reception area, but dedicated reception desks are purpose-built for the job — with transaction tops (elevated front panel for standing visitors), return sections for equipment, and built-in storage for office supplies. A standard straight desk used as a reception desk often looks improvised and lacks the professional appearance that greets visitors. If budget or space dictates using a straight desk at reception, at least position it to face the door and add a low screen or privacy panel on the front to conceal computer equipment and cables from visitor view. For a professional first impression, a dedicated reception desk is worth the investment. FindOfficeFurniture.com has reception desks and straight desks — call 888-719-4960.
