For reception desks, since this is where most of the transaction takes place, it has to be presentable at the same time durable.

It must have storage and shelves for guest books, log books or visitor passes and other slips that need to be signed.

The reception desks have to be spacious for the employees to be able to perform their daily tasks or activities. It should have a desk top to place certain equipment like telephones or fax machines, some even computers and its peripheral components. The reception tables, although not all offices have this, play an important role as well.



Some office receptions have tables for their visitors. These could be placed near the couch or in an area that is spacious for visitors would be using these tables for filling out forms and signing sheets. It should be able to accommodate at least two visitors at a time or more. The design of an office reception table must be in harmony with the rest of the office furniture in the lobby area. The color or type of wood must match that of the reception desk, the furnishings must match that of the curtains or couch. And it should be made to suit the visitors when they use it.
