Is 3 feet enough, or how much space between reception desk and wall do you actually need to not feel trapped all day?
According to ergonomic standards, it is generally recommended to maintain a distance of 42 to 60 inches (3.5 to 5 feet) between the reception area desk and the back wall.
This clearance ensures that employees have ample room to push back their chairs, turn around, or move in and out without feeling cramped.
If there are filing cabinets along the back wall, this spacing also allows drawers to be fully opened while still leaving a functional walkway for passage.
