Whiteboards & Display Boards — Expert Answer

What type of whiteboard works best in a professional reception or front desk area?

Reception and front desk areas need whiteboards that look professional — in a client-facing space, a utilitarian gray-frame melamine board would undermine the impression. Best choices for reception areas: a glass whiteboard in a brushed aluminum or frameless mounting, a magnetic porcelain board in a quality aluminum frame, or a combination corkboard panel in a high-quality wood or aluminum frame. Size: a 2x3 or 3x4-foot board is typically appropriate — large enough to communicate effectively, not so large it dominates the aesthetic. Content: keep it purposeful and current. A board used only for relevant, current information (today's visitors, appointment schedule, directional information) adds value. A board with old or messy information detracts from the professional environment. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960.
