A reception desk is often a large, laminate-clad centerpiece with a raised transaction counter. The finish scratches easily and modular units come apart, so plan the breakdown before the lift.
Pro tip: Slip cardboard under the feet as furniture sliders to reposition a heavy module before you commit to the full lift.
Watch out: Do not lift a reception desk by the transaction-counter overhang; it is often a thin cantilever that snaps under weight.
