When you invest in outdoor furniture, especially a sturdy bench for your garden or patio, the shipping method can make or break your experience. At our factory, we understand that convenience and assembly effort are top concerns, so we offer two distinct shipping options to suit different customer needs.
Option One: Fully Assembled Delivery
For customers who value instant gratification and minimal hassle, we ship a large portion of our bench models fully assembled. This is particularly true for our premium teak, cast aluminum, and heavy-duty wrought iron benches. Each piece is hand-finished, inspected, and carefully wrapped in protective padding before being loaded onto a dedicated freight truck. You will receive the bench ready to place in its final location—just remove the packaging and enjoy. Please note that fully assembled benches require a curbside delivery (lift-gate service available for an extra fee) due to their size and weight. If you have a tight gate, narrow doorway, or a steep driveway, we recommend measuring the access path before ordering.
Option Two: Flat-Pack (Ready-to-Assemble)
If you prefer to save on shipping costs, have limited access for large deliveries, or simply enjoy the satisfaction of building your own furniture, we offer several models in a flat-pack format. These benches are packed into compact, manageable boxes that can be delivered via standard parcel carriers like UPS or FedEx—even to a doorstep or apartment lobby. Each flat-pack box includes clear, illustrated instructions, all hardware (including a hex key and extra screws), and pre-drilled components. For most designs, assembly takes 30 to 60 minutes with just a screwdriver (optional). We also provide an online video tutorial for each model. Our flat-pack benches are made from kiln-dried eucalyptus or powder-coated steel, ensuring they are still robust and weather-resistant once assembled.
Which Option Is Right for You?
- Choose fully assembled if you want zero effort, have a ground-level entry with wide doors, and prefer a heavy, seamless construction.
- Choose flat pack if you are budget-conscious, live in a walk-up apartment, or want to avoid scheduling a freight delivery appointment.
Ultimately, our factory gives you the choice. Both options maintain the same quality standards—the only difference is how the bench reaches your hands. If you are unsure, contact our customer service team with your address details, and we will recommend the best method for your specific situation.
