agree that who wants could map furniture as well, but that would not be 
"amenity" and I would not care about such a tag and it would not be the main 
tag for the reception function

there are more than 30 times reception_area tags compared to reception_desk, 
but both numbers are low

+1, if someone thinks a tag is not needed he should not vote, because voting is 
about a concrete tag and which tag is best to describe something
