Reception Desks — Expert Answer
What kind of floor protection do I need under a reception desk?
Floor protection is a specification detail that is consistently overlooked until after damage occurs. OfficeFurniture2go.com includes floor protection guidance in every installation recommendation. For hard surface floors — stone, tile, hardwood, luxury vinyl plank — all base contact points must have felt or rubberized pads to prevent scratching and micro-abrasion damage. On carpet, heavy reception units compress carpet pile permanently over time; a hard mat under the work zone prevents this and eases receptionist chair movement. Uneven floors require shimming or adjustable leveling feet to prevent joint stress on the desk's panels. Call 1-800-460-0858.
