What is the difference between lounge seating height and a reception desk chair height?

Reception desk chairs and lounge seating serve different functions and have different seat heights. A reception desk task chair typically has a seat height of 17"–22" (adjustable) to match the standing reception desk or standard desk height. Lounge seating intended for waiting areas has a fixed seat height of 15"–18" — designed for relaxed posture, not desk-adjacent work. If you are placing seating at a reception counter where clients sit facing a service agent across the counter, you need counter-height stools (24"–30" seat height) or standard-height task chairs, not lounge chairs.
