"I just want a reception desk in light oak with glass on the top and about 3m long, some drawers - can you give me a price?"
Reception Desks or reception counters should be attractive, comfortable and timeless. It should give the company visitor a luxurious and relaxed feeling of importance. Office furnishing style plays an important role in the decision making process taken by clients. So it figures that installation of quality contemporary reception desks benefit businesses. The ROI or return of investment can be many times the initial investment and serve a company well for many years to come.

Positive feel
The luxurious look and quality finish of the reception desk should impress the first time visitors. Attractive new reception desks work positively for the business and create that all important first impression.
Corporate Look
Clients looking around your quality reception furniture and area will associate your style business with the same positive outlook. Day by day the trends in office furniture and reception desks are evolving, and you may want to consider blending various styles and materials, to give that unique corporate look that sets your business apart.
Setting the right tone
Whether you are a large corporate multinational company or a small to medium sized one you should go for reception furniture which is easy on the eye and functional - more about this later. Go for a quality build that will last and prove to be an asset. Reception furniture which is attractive and comfortable will relax your clients and make them more receptive to your company message whilst they browse through your literature and soak up the professional ambience you have provided.
Architectural Masterpiece
The overall impression created by a dramatic building can only be maintained or improved upon with amazing reception furniture. That is not to say expensive, but quality or, at least looking the part. If your building is not that awe-inspiring, then the least that you can do is improve the front end.
Employees
One important aspect of a reception desk is the height, and not just for your visitors but also employees. People obviously vary in height, but more importantly some are less physically able. Care has to be taken in choosing a reception desk with varying height levels and space for a wheelchair.
Some companies employ several receptionists, maybe on a part-time basis and could also have overnight security that use the reception area as a control/monitoring room. Consideration in what type of reception desk to choose for various types of equipment and the various staff will need to carry out their everyday functions means that getting the correct reception desk is not cut and dried. You may find two types of office chair are required; a 24 hour chair for the security guard and maybe a task office chair for the person performing the general day to day office reception duties. It's a common mistake to think that the same chair will do for what could be two very different physically sized employees. Some large corporate organisations or health authority hospitals have several reception workers simultaneously occupying a large reception desk.
Bespoke or off the shelf
If you are a small company with the reception doubling up as your evening security area, some styles of smaller reception desks will cope with one or two flat screen monitors. The larger the flat screen monitors the better as some systems allow you to view several cameras on one screen.
But it is difficult sometimes to find that mid-point between functionality and aesthetically pleasing reception furniture. If you are not sure, consider your employees and perform a DSE assessment or better still get in a professional DSE assessor from a company like Posture and Office Seating Ltd. They will assess your employees and their work environment; advise on equipment like ergonomic office chairs, monitor arms, keyboard gel pads and offer a free space design to compliment your reception area and if necessary design your reception desk.
If you have several reception desk workers, they will all need computer chairs, monitors, keyboard pull-outs, drawers, filing cabinets, telephones. At least one position must be considered for wheel chair entry.
Just one note of caution if you are ordering over the phone or direct from a website; make sure you have room to get the reception desk into the reception area. Most reception desks come modularised and have to be assembled on site.
