Frequently asked questions (FAQS) about Buy reception desks for every office

How tall is a reception desk from AJ Products?

Our L shaped reception desks are 1150mm in height. Our straight reception desks are also about 1150mm in height as are our corner reception desks. However, we also offer slightly shorter desks, our low reception desks, which are 750mm in height.

What makes a good reception area?

A reception should give off a warm and welcoming energy. You want a reception desk that that looks neat and well organised as this creates the impression in your visitor’s mind that the rest of the office is unchaotic too. Our well-laid out desks are fitted with adequate storage space and are designed with easy-to-wipe laminate materials, making it easy for the desk to stay looking clean and organised at all times.

What should be in a reception area?

Aside from having a nice reception desk, it can pay to have little coffee tables where clients and employees can have a quick catch up in a less formal setting. Comfortable seating is also a must, especially during your office’s busier periods when clients might have to wait a while to be seen.

How to make a reception desk work within your office space?

Our range of reception desks are highly versatile. Our L shaped reception desks, for example, come fitted with an adjustable base, especially useful with offices with spaces that have uneven floors. Our reception desks are also designed to be combinable and easily modifiable to ensure that whatever your space restrictions are, there is a workaround that suits your specific needs.

A Reception desk for every office décor

First impressions are last impressions, which is why we at AJ Products understand the importance of reception desks. As soon as a prospective client or employee enters an office, the first place they go to is the reception. This means the first thing they see is the reception area and, in particular, the reception desk. This is why we believe that a reception desk must be sleek, modern and visually appealing. A well thought-out reception desk is always a good idea, which is why we have offered you this range of stylish and chic reception desks.

Counters

Our reception counters are divided into L shaped and U shaped units that can be used in conjunction with a standard desk. The reception furniture in any office must go with the theme of the entrance hall while fitting well in the reception area. Which is why, depending on the internal layout of your office, we give you a choice between two basic shapes. The L-shaped counter has three sections, with a straight central piece so it can easily be used with a freestanding desk. The U-shaped counter has four sections, again with a straight centre. The desks are made of laminate, making them smooth and durable. This allows easy cleaning and maintenance. Both shapes are available in three colours, so you can choose a counter that best suits your reception area and desk.

Straight desks

We offer a wide variety of straight reception desks from which you can choose. Our straight reception desk is made using either laminate or veneer. Once you’ve decided upon the material, you can choose from a number of different colours. We also offer a design made from laminate with protective aluminium kick boards and panels. You can actually customise your own reception desk by combining several modules to create a size and shape that suits your needs. You can combine straight desks with high corner sections, straight sections with low corners or whatever you think will suit your décor. For more information, please have a look at the different product specifications.

Corner desks

If the only space available in your reception area is a corner, we have some elegant rounded corner desks for you. Like the straight desks, you can choose from veneer or laminate and customise your own desk as per your requirement. Moreover, you can combine them with straight desk units to create a large welcoming reception counter. We offer a range of different colours and designs, so have a look at the product images and specifications to help make your choice. We also offer a complete desk system that adds an ultra-modern vibe to your office space. It comes with durable work surfaces and allows convenient storage hidden from public view. The high counters are an ideal place for literature stands and leaflet racks as they will be easily visible to all guests and clients but will not be in the receptionist’s way! Don’t forget that rope barriers can help you organise queues and cordon off waiting areas in your reception.
