That's an excellent question that gets to the heart of how we approach furniture making. The simple answer is: both. We primarily manufacture our benches locally through skilled craftspeople in our regional workshops, while selectively importing specialized components that meet our exacting standards.
Our local manufacturing allows for remarkable customization and quality control. When you choose one of our standard designs or request a custom piece, it's typically built within 100 miles of our headquarters. This proximity means we can personally oversee every stage - from selecting sustainable hardwood to applying the final weather-resistant finish. Local production also reduces transportation emissions and supports our community's economy.
We do import certain specialized components when they offer unique benefits unavailable locally. This includes premium tropical hardwoods with exceptional durability, patented hardware systems for modular designs, and advanced powder-coating finishes for maximum weather resistance. Every imported element undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it matches our quality expectations.
This hybrid approach gives you the best of both worlds: the personalized attention and quick turnaround of local craftsmanship, combined with access to global materials and innovations. Whether you're looking for park benches, garden seating, or commercial furniture, our process ensures durable, beautiful results that stand the test of time and elements.
