We design and build reception desks and front counters for businesses in Berry, Shoalhaven Heads, Broughton and Jaspers Brush, from offices and practices to shops and accommodation check in counters. The desk is set out around the person working at it, the equipment it has to hold and the customer it faces, then made at our Huskisson workshop and installed ready to use.

The top of a reception counter is where people lean, write and put down bags, so it is fixed back to the desk frame rather than simply sitting on the front panel. We size the ledge for a clipboard or a card reader and keep the staff worktop below it deep enough for a keyboard and a screen.
Front desk joinery hides a lot of equipment: a computer, a printer, a router, phone chargers and sometimes a cash drawer. Each gets a cupboard or a tray sized to it, with a cable tray behind and airflow for anything that runs warm, so the desk stays tidy after a year of use.
In a practice the front desk handles private information across a busy waiting room. The counter is raised enough to screen monitors and paperwork, a lower section serves anyone using a wheelchair, and surfaces and edges are chosen to stand up to disinfectant wipes several times a day.
Ashbrook is owned and run by a qualified builder with more than 15 years in the industry, so a reception desk is planned alongside the power and data trades rather than after them. Working heights, cable routes and equipment cupboards are fixed on shop drawings and a 3D render before anything is cut, and the desk is built in our own Huskisson workshop so it arrives ready to install.
Our reception desks page covers the same work across the Shoalhaven. A front counter is often part of a bigger job, so our commercial joinery in Berry page is worth a look, and our Berry joinery and cabinetry page lists everything else we make.
