When you choose a reception desk it is important to know what kind you want. For instance, if you were to choose a bespoke reception counter, it may take longer, sometimes up to six weeks, because they are made to order and to your specifications. Now, if you were to go with a modular reception desk, you might be saving a little time and money. This type of reception counter 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, you’re looking at about four weeks for delivery. Sometimes the models could be ready in a week.

There are two important issues you need to take into consideration when purchasing a reception counter. The Disabilities Act may come into play which requires you to make a portion of the desk lower to the ground for easy access to wheelchair users. 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.

I hope this has been informative to you. In time, we all must make our own decisions, but I hope your burden has been lifted a little bit.
