L-Shaped Reception Desks, USA-Made

L-Shaped Reception Desks

An L-shaped reception desk puts the greeting counter on one leg and the working surface on the other. We build four: a ready-to-ship desk, 78.5 by 40.5 inches with a 42 inch transaction counter and lockable drawers, that leaves our warehouse in 2 to 3 business days; a height-adjustable L, 72 by 90 inches, with a 41 inch glass-ledge counter and an electric base that moves from 22.75 to 49 inches; an L with storage, 94 by 90 inches with a 42 inch shroud counter; and a 90 by 90 inch corner station with a 41-1/8 inch wraparound counter. The three Overture desks are built to order in Dallas and Los Angeles in 2 to 3 weeks. Every desk ships free by curbside and dock freight in the continental US and carries the 15-Year Warranty.

Buyer's FAQ

L-shaped reception desk questions, answered

Which side does the return go on?

You choose. The ready-to-ship desk has a left or right option on its page. The three built-to-order desks are built to the side you tell us when you order, and we confirm it with you before the build. Stand where the receptionist sits and decide which way the working leg should run.

How tall is the counter on an L-shaped reception desk?

The height-adjustable desk has a 41 inch counter with a glass ledge on top of it. The work surface behind the counter sits at desk height on the three fixed desks and moves from 22.75 to 49 inches on the height-adjustable one.

Choosing an L-shaped reception desk

The ready-to-ship L-shaped reception desk has a built-in transaction counter, lockable drawers and open shelf storage. The Overture height-adjustable L-shaped reception desk has a 49 inch return running back, a 48 inch planter wall, and a counter and planter wall that stay fixed while both work surfaces move. The Overture L-shaped reception desk with storage runs 94 inches across the front and 90 down the return with two locking pedestals. The Overture reception desk with storage is an 84 inch desk across the front with a 54 inch return, an L-shaped transaction counter that wraps the corner, and the same two locking pedestals.

What you are choosing between is the counter and the return. A transaction counter is an open ledge where visitors sign in. A shroud counter is a full raised front that hides the monitor and paperwork from every angle of the lobby. The return is the working leg. The ready-to-ship desk has a left or right option on its page. On the three built-to-order desks, tell us which side when you order; we confirm the layout with you before the desk is built. If the front desk is staffed standing for part of the day, the height-adjustable model is the one that moves.
