Collection: Used Reception Units

A reception unit is often the first piece of office furniture visitors see when entering a workplace, so it needs to combine a professional appearance with a practical working area for reception staff. The right reception desk can help create a welcoming first impression while providing an organised workstation for everyday tasks.

Reception units are available in many different shapes and sizes, from compact desks suitable for smaller entrances through to larger modular reception counters designed for busy workplaces and multiple users. Straight, curved and corner configurations make it possible to create a layout that works with the available space.

The raised front section found on many reception desks helps separate the visitor-facing area from the working surface behind. Computer screens, telephones, paperwork and other equipment can remain conveniently positioned for the receptionist without dominating the appearance of the reception area.

Storage can also be incorporated around the reception workstation using pedestals, cupboards and other office storage, helping staff keep frequently used documents and supplies close at hand. Reception units can then be coordinated with visitor chairs, sofas and coffee tables to create a complete reception environment.

From a small business entrance to a larger corporate reception area, a well-chosen reception unit provides a clear point of welcome while giving reception staff the comfortable and functional workspace they need.
