Absolutely, you can get a sample of the wood or metal used in our street benches before committing to a bulk order. We encourage this step because it helps you verify the material’s actual color, grain, texture, and weight in real-world conditions—something photos and descriptions can’t fully capture.
Here’s how it works: simply reach out to our sales team through the contact form or live chat on our website. Let them know which bench model you’re interested in and whether you’d like a wood swatch (like ipe, teak, pressure-treated pine, or recycled plastic lumber) or a metal sample (such as powder-coated steel, aluminum, or cast iron). We’ll mail you a representative piece, typically within 3-5 business days, at no cost for the first request. For multiple or custom samples, we may ask for a small shipping fee that becomes refundable with your first bulk purchase.
When you receive the sample, test it against your intended outdoor conditions—checking for color shift under sunlight, scratch resistance with keys, or how water beads on the powder coating. This confidence step ensures your bulk order matches your project’s exact specifications.
If you’re ordering 50 or more benches, we can also arrange a digital color-match process or a virtual video call to walk through the material options. Just let us know your timeline and any specific durability requirements for your city park, campus, or commercial space.
