Choosing a SMILE desk for your reception area
Start with the way people will enter and approach the reception point. A corner desk can define a turning point or fit against a room corner, with the integrated counter separating the visitor-facing area from the work surface. The SMILE range includes corner combinations in several sizes, including 120, 140 and 160 cm options. A larger size may provide a broader work area, but check the complete dimensions and how the counter is oriented before deciding.
If you prefer a softer outline, compare the curved corner models. The 90° curved reception desk and Curved Module 2 have curved designs and steel bases, with HPL or oak tabletop options noted for these models. For a more open, straight-on layout, consider the SM Straight Open Reception Desk. It is listed in multiple sizes and finishes, so use its product details to identify the configuration that fits your space.
Match the finish to the workplace
Tabletop materials listed across the SMILE collection include melamine, oak and HPL. Material availability depends on the model: some corner desks are specified with melamine or oak, while the curved options are listed with HPL or oak. Check the individual product listing rather than assuming a finish is shared across every design. Available surface colors include neutral tones as well as blue, green, orange and red; base colors also vary. Confirm the choices shown for the specific desk you are considering.
Check practical details before selecting
Plan the layout and visitor approach
Measure the intended location, including space for the receptionist to sit or move behind the desk and room for visitors to approach. Compare the listed width and depth, and check whether a corner or straight shape works with nearby walls, doors and circulation routes. These models are not adjustable, so choose a configuration that suits the planned setup.
Consider cables and ordering details
Some SMILE desks are compatible with a cable tray, but compatibility does not mean the tray is included. Check the product details if cable management is important to your setup. Confirm the chosen model’s dimensions, tabletop material, color and configuration before placing an order. Myntwork offers FAMO SMILE reception desks on a monthly lease, providing a leasing option for businesses furnishing a reception area.
