What color or finish is best for a reception desk?
Darker finishes (espresso, walnut) hide wear best and convey authority. Medium tones (cherry, mahogany) are timeless. Light finishes work in modern spaces but need more maintenance. The finish should coordinate with your flooring and wall color. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, we can send finish samples before you order — call 1-800-460-0858.
