What features should an office counter have?

• Visual appeal:
Reception counters must have an impeccable appearance. The first impression is very important so that the customer or user knows that he has entered the right place. The counter should be higher than the rest of the reception furniture to make it clear to anyone entering that this is where business is to be taken care of, i.e. it should be characterized by minimalist divisions, clear but not too obtrusive.
It is also important that the counter represents the philosophy and beauty of the office, so depending on the modernity of the decoration, the counter should be modern. The compatibility of the countertop with the principles of aesthetics is essential.

• A space for everyone:

Many times the reception is occupied by only one person and one employee is working in that department, so usually a small office counter is sufficient for the entrance of the company. Now, if the number of employees in a company is more, the counter must be bigger so that all employees have their own space. Minimal separation between employees is critical so that they can perform their duties well.
• good performance
Although reception is usually only for providing services to clients and potential customers, at other times other administrative activities are performed behind the counter desk; Therefore, like an office desk, the counter table should provide enough space and comfort so that the employee  desk can perform his job duties effectively.
The counter table should have a space on which you can place a computer, filing cabinet, phone, printer or whatever you think is appropriate.

• Simple counter without decorations (minimal):

Many counters have the brand's logo on the front, so the furniture becomes a kind of flagship of the company.

• Round corner counter:

For better use of space, round corner counters are very suitable in large and open spaces, where an operation center for several people is needed or where a large number of visits or requests are received at the same time. In general, furniture is modular, which allows you to create different pieces of furniture to suit different needs and sizes.

• Corner counter:

Angled or straight countertops have the advantage of being able to adapt to smaller spaces and fit well in blind spots and complex corners. In any case, all corner counters have a larger interior surface to keep materials and tools that need to be hidden away from view. Countertops can also be complemented with decorative and lighting elements that make them more attractive, such as backlighting or LED lights that define the environment.

• Counter with two heights:

In busy reception areas, there are often two or more workstations that perform different functions. In these cases, using a counter with two heights is very effective. A higher height helps the clerk perform check-in duties or make more isolated phone calls, while a lower height serves the customer in a more personal way.
In many reception desks with multiple workstations, this hybrid dual-purpose formula is chosen to ensure direct customer contact while allowing the other employee to prepare for other types of work that require concentration.

Counter for small spaces:

Not all offices have enough space to create a special reception area. However, there are some very ingenious solutions that allow you to have this much needed area without much fuss.
