How deep should a reception desk be?

Staff work surface depth is typically 24"–30". Transaction counter overhang is 12"–18" deep. Overall desk footprint varies — 36" on a straight unit, up to 60"+ on a curved desk. Plan at least 60" of visitor approach space in front of the counter. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, we can walk you through the exact footprint of any unit before purchase — call 1-800-460-0858.
