When you place a custom outdoor furniture order with our factory, a common and important question is: "What's the typical lead time?" The answer depends on several factors, but generally, you can expect the process from finalizing your design to delivery to take between 8 to 12 weeks. This timeframe allows for the careful craftsmanship and attention to detail that define our bespoke pieces.
The journey begins with our design confirmation and material sourcing phase, which typically takes 1-2 weeks. We work with you to select premium, weather-resistant materials like teak, powder-coated aluminum, or all-weather wicker. Following this, the core production stage in our workshop takes approximately 4-6 weeks. This is where skilled artisans cut, weld, weave, and assemble your furniture to your exact specifications. We then allocate 1-2 weeks for thorough finishing, including sanding, sealing, or applying protective coatings. Finally, quality control checks and packaging for secure shipping require about 1-2 weeks before your order is dispatched.
It's important to note that lead times can vary. Highly complex designs, the time of year (peak season in spring/summer may extend timelines), and the specific materials chosen can all influence the schedule. We prioritize clear communication throughout the process, providing you with updates at each major milestone. Our goal is to deliver exceptional, durable outdoor furniture that meets your vision, and this carefully managed timeline ensures we never compromise on quality for speed. For the most accurate estimate for your specific project, we recommend consulting directly with our sales team during the quotation process.
