Plan around your reception workflow
Start by considering what happens at the desk each day. A straight counter can suit a reception area where the desk sits along a wall or within a linear layout. A curved counter may be useful when you want the front edge to shape the visitor approach or define the desk as a focal point. Emel includes both convex and concave curved designs, so consider how each shape relates to the circulation space around it.
Think about the work taking place behind the counter as well as the view from the entrance. A high counter may help establish a distinct reception point, while a low counter may better suit your preferred interaction and room layout. The collection includes high and low models, but their exact dimensions and configuration vary. Check the individual product details and measure the available floor area, access routes and nearby furniture before selecting.
Choose the details that fit your layout
Front style and appearance
Selected Emel counters have a white LED-illuminated front, while other listed models have a smooth front. Decide whether a lit front is important to your reception design, and confirm the feature on the specific model you are considering. Surface and base colours listed across the collection include options such as white, grey, black and wood tones, alongside other colours. Check the product listing for the colours offered on that model rather than assuming every finish is available for every counter.
Materials, sections and cables
Melamine is the listed tabletop material. Base materials in the collection include steel and melamine. If you need to extend or shape a run, review the available Emel add-on and side-section products and verify that the parts suit your intended arrangement. Some specifications indicate cable-tray compatibility, but the cable tray is not included; check the individual listing to confirm compatibility and plan any cable management separately.
What to check before choosing
Compare the listed width and depth for each model with your measurements, and consider where visitors will stand and staff will work. Confirm whether a counter is freestanding, an add-on element or a side section, and whether its shape and orientation work with the other pieces you plan to use. Review the stated material, colour, front style and cable-tray details for the exact product.
Myntwork offers MARO Emel reception counters on a monthly lease. Once you have narrowed down the shape and configuration, check the product pages for the available specifications and lease details, then choose the option that fits your space and reception workflow.
