Read Before You Buy: Information About Reception Desks

By Chris Walton

Office desks and reception desks are different. One, the office desk, just appears as a normal desk. The other, the reception desk, has a higher front end to allow leaning from customers as they enter your business. And then there are reception counters. These are higher up off the ground. Most of the time they can hold more than one receptionist. You can see these in places like the doctors office or the airport.

It is always good to know what type of reception desk you want before you choose it. For instance, let's say you chose a bespoke reception counter. It could take up to six weeks for it to be delivered to your business since they are made to order.

Now, if you were to go with a modular reception desk, you might be saving a little time and a little money. These types of counters can fit into many different places and can be made larger to add extra staff. You can get these in a set type or built-to-order. If you choose the ladder option, youre looking at about four weeks for delivery. However, sometimes the models could be ready in only a week.

You need to keep in mind two important things when purchasing your reception counter. Number one, the Disabilities Act may be a factor which will cause you to move a section of the desk closer to the ground, making it easier for employees who are in wheelchairs to work for you.

Another issue is the finish of the desk. A clean real wood looking finish is the preferred choice of many people, however this takes a lot of work to keep up the look. It can be more costly as well. There are other finishes that look about the same that are cheaper and hold their own under heat and scratching.
