Can the reception sofa be backed by the boss's desk?

If the room is big enough, you should put the reception area (sofa) in front of the boss's desk, opposite it. One side of the door is the office area. There are 2-4 staff chairs in front of the boss's desk, and the other side of the door is set as the reception area, sofa coffee table and so on. I've never heard of a sofa behind the boss's desk, unless the boss sits on the sofa and works.

First, welcome etiquette is the most basic form and important link in social reception activities, and it is an important aspect of expressing host friendship and showing politeness. Greeting, in particular, is the most important job to leave a good first impression on guests. Leaving a good first impression on each other will lay the foundation for further contact. Careful arrangements should be made to meet the guests, and the following matters should be noted: (1) For foreign and foreign guests who come to visit, negotiate business and attend meetings, they should first know the trains and flights that the other party has arrived, and arrange personnel with the same identity and position as the guests to meet them. If, for some reason, the host of the corresponding identity can't go, the host who goes to meet should politely explain to the guests. (2) When the host greets the guests at the station or airport, he should arrive ahead of time and wait for the arrival of the guests. He must never be late and keep the guests waiting. Guests will be very happy when they see someone coming to meet them. If they come late, they will definitely leave a shadow in their hearts. No matter how they explain afterwards, they can't erase this impression of dereliction of duty and lack of credibility.
