Reception Desks
We make reception desks and front counters for Batemans Bay businesses. A front counter has to do several jobs at once: present the business, hold more than one person at a time, give the person behind it a working surface that does not have to be cleared, and house the power, data and hardware a front desk runs on. We draw it around all of that, machine it at our Huskisson workshop, and deliver it as finished modules sized to your door and your corner.

A reception counter is really two surfaces. The public ledge has to be long enough to hold more than one party at a time, deep enough to sign on and set a bag down, and finished to take constant contact. Behind it sits the working surface, set at desk height with knee space, drawer storage and somewhere for a printer that is not the counter itself. We fix the two heights and the depth between them before anything is machined.
A front desk carries more services than any other piece of joinery in the building. Power, data, a monitor arm, an EFTPOS terminal, a printer and often a key or security cabinet all need a home. We mark those positions on the drawing with the electrician and the data cabler, build the conduit runs and the hardware cupboard into the carcass at the bench, and leave serviceable access so nothing has to be drilled in afterwards. A lower section with clear space underneath is set out at the same time, at a height someone seated can sign a form and see who they are talking to.
A reception fitout takes in more than the desk: the waiting area joinery, the display and brochure storage, the coat and bag space, and the wall behind the counter that carries the signage. We draw the whole area as one set so the finishes, the edge details and the handle line carry across it. The desk itself is designed as modules from the start, each one sized to fit through your actual door and around your actual corner, with the joins landing where a return or a panel edge hides them.
Ashbrook is owned and run by a qualified builder with 15+ years on site, which matters on a reception desk because the counter is where the electrician, the data cabler and the joiner all meet. Somebody has to sequence that, and we do it off the shop drawings rather than on the day. If the rest of the space needs doing at the same time, that is our commercial joinery in Batemans Bay, and the full range is on our reception desks page.
Built in modules that fit your door, and finished before they get here.
