Setting up a small office and totally overthinking the front area—what is reception desk height supposed to be so it’s comfortable for both staff and visitors?
The standard height for a reception desk is typically 42–48 inches (about 107–122 cm), which is suitable for standing interactions with visitors.
If staff also need to work at the desk, a lower work surface (about 70–75 cm) is often added on the inside, creating a dual-level design that is more practical.
