What is an L-shaped reception desk and when should I use one?

The L-shaped reception configuration is the most functionally versatile layout in commercial reception specification. OfficeFurniture2go.com specifies L-shaped desks for corner lobby placements, reception environments where the staff manages both visitor check-in and administrative workflow simultaneously, and settings where monitoring multiple entry points from a single position is required. Return orientation — left-hand return (LHR) vs. right-hand return (RHR) — must be specified based on the room plan; ordering the wrong orientation is a common and costly mistake. We review room plans before every L-shaped reception order to confirm correct orientation. Call 1-800-460-0858.
