What storage cabinets are appropriate for a reception area?

Reception area storage cabinets are highly visible to visitors and must balance aesthetics with functionality. Specifications: (1) Furniture-grade finish — high-pressure laminate in a wood-grain or designer solid color that matches the reception furniture; (2) Concealed hardware — flush-mount or recessed handles rather than protruding hardware that detracts from the clean look; (3) Locking if client documents or supplies are stored; (4) Counter height (29"–36") if the cabinet top will serve as a work surface for reception staff; (5) Sized to fit the reception alcove without overwhelming the space. Lower 'credenza-height' (29") cabinets are the most common for reception areas — they function as storage and a countertop simultaneously.
