That's a great question, and one we hear often! Most customers want to enjoy their new garden spot quickly, not spend all day with an instruction manual. The good news is that the vast majority of our garden benches are designed for straightforward, minimal assembly.
Typically, you can expect about 15 to 30 minutes of simple setup. Most benches arrive partially assembled. For instance, a classic wooden slat bench might have the main seat and backrest as one solid piece. Your task usually involves attaching the pre-built legs or armrests using the included hardware and tools. We provide all the necessary screws, bolts, and often an Allen key or wrench. The instructions are clear, step-by-step, and illustrated.
We focus on designs that require no complex woodworking, gluing, or sanding. For our metal and composite benches, assembly is often even quicker—sometimes just attaching two or three pre-welded sections. A few of our premium lines even come fully assembled, needing only to be placed in your garden.
Our goal is to get you from box to relaxation with minimal fuss. You'll need a small clear space and a second pair of hands for safety when handling larger pieces, but that's about it. So, you can confidently order, knowing you'll be lounging on your beautiful new bench almost immediately
