When you order an outdoor bench from our factory, we prioritize both durability and convenience in shipping. The answer to whether we ship benches fully assembled or knocked down depends on the model, destination, and your specific needs.

For customers seeking immediate use — such as for retail displays, hospitality spaces, or private gardens with easy access — we offer fully assembled shipping. Each bench is carefully crafted, finished, and then wrapped in multiple layers of protective foam and stretch film. We then secure it inside a custom-sized, heavy-duty corrugated box or a wooden crate, depending on the bench size and shipping method. This option ensures zero assembly for you, but it does increase shipping volume and cost due to the larger package dimensions.

For the majority of our international and bulk orders, we ship benches in a knocked down (KD) format. This means the bench is partially disassembled into key components — typically the seat, backrest, legs, and support braces — all precision-machined at our factory to ensure easy reassembly. Each component is nested tightly inside a flat-packed cardboard box or plywood crate, minimizing air space and significantly reducing freight volume. This KD approach lowers shipping costs by 30% to 50% compared to fully assembled units, and it also reduces the risk of damage during transit because the parts are tightly packed. We include all necessary hardware, pre-drilled holes, and a detailed instruction manual. Most customers can assemble a KD bench in 15 to 30 minutes using just a basic hex key (included).

For eco-conscious buyers, KD shipping also allows us to use less packaging material and more recyclable cardboard, cutting down on waste. In all cases — whether assembled or KD — we test-pack each shipment to simulate rough handling, ensuring your bench arrives in perfect condition. Our factory can also customize the shipping method based on your preference, including LTL freight, sea container, or express courier.

In short, we offer both options. Fully assembled is best for small local deliveries or turnkey installations. Knocked down is the most cost-effective, space-saving, and damage-resistant solution for long-distance and bulk orders. No matter which you choose, our quality control team inspects every piece before packing, so your outdoor bench is built to last from the moment it leaves our doors.
