Honestly? You’d be surprised how simple it is. Our urban benches are designed with the everyday person in mind—meaning you won’t need a workshop full of power tools to get them set up.
For most of our models, assembly is minimal. You’ll typically only need to attach the legs to the seat frame and secure the backrest slats. We’re talking about 15 to 20 minutes, tops, from unboxing to sitting down.
Now, the big question: Do you need special tools? The answer is a reassuring no. We include a custom hex key with every bench, so everything you need is right in the box. No drills, no wrenches, no measuring tape required. The bolts are pre-threaded and align intuitively, so even if you’re not what you’d call “handy,” you’ll still breeze through the process.
A few of our more elaborate models—like those with curved backrests or integrated side tables—might take an extra 10 minutes and require a Phillips-head screwdriver (just a standard one you probably already have). But those are exceptions. The core design philosophy is accessibility: we want you enjoying your bench, not sweating over assembly instructions.
In short: no special tools needed, 15–20 minutes is standard, and you can do it alone even if you’ve never assembled furniture before. It’s that straightforward.
