Can a U-shaped desk be used in a reception area?

A U-shaped desk can work in a large reception area where the receptionist needs a substantial workstation with the visitor-facing side serving as the front counter. However, purpose-built reception desks have transaction counters designed specifically for visitor interaction — a U-shaped desk positioned as a reception desk typically lacks that raised counter element. For large reception operations with multiple staff, a U-desk may be more practical than a traditional reception desk. FindOfficeFurniture.com has both U-shaped desks and dedicated reception desks — call 888-719-4960.
