Hello there! It's wonderful to hear from a neighborhood association looking to enhance your community space. That's a fantastic initiative.
A very common question we get from groups like yours is, "What is the minimum order for urban benches?" It's a smart and practical question when you're working with a budget.
The great news is that many suppliers, including ourselves, understand the needs of smaller community projects. Therefore, the minimum order quantity (MOQ) is often quite flexible. While standard MOQs can sometimes start at 5 or 10 units for production efficiency, many providers are happy to accommodate orders for just 1, 2, or 3 benches for local neighborhood associations. The exact number can depend on the specific bench model, material (like powder-coated steel or sustainable wood), and any customizations you desire, such as engraved plaques with your association's name.
We strongly recommend reaching out directly to a few suppliers. Explain that you are a neighborhood association, and ask about their policies for small orders. You'll often find they are eager to help you create a more beautiful and functional community gathering spot, one bench at a time.
