That's an excellent question! Our park benches are primarily delivered as comprehensive, easy-to-assemble kits rather than pre-assembled units. We've made this strategic decision for several important reasons that ultimately benefit you.
Shipping fully assembled park benches would be prohibitively expensive due to their substantial size and weight. The dimensional weight charges alone would significantly increase your final cost. By providing kits with precisely cut, pre-drilled, and finished components, we dramatically reduce shipping expenses while ensuring your bench arrives undamaged.
You might be wondering about the assembly complexity. Rest assured - our kits are designed for straightforward assembly that most people can complete in about 30-60 minutes using basic tools included in your package. Each kit contains clear, illustrated instructions, and we provide online video tutorials for visual learners. The process typically involves connecting the pre-formed bench slats to the pre-assembled end frames, which are the largest components that would otherwise be challenging to ship.
For commercial clients or those requiring full assembly, we do offer white-glove delivery and assembly services in many locations for an additional fee. This service includes professional installation at your specified location.
Whether you choose standard kit assembly or premium installation service, you'll receive the same high-quality, durable park bench designed to withstand outdoor elements for years to come. The assembly process itself can be quite rewarding, giving you deeper understanding of your bench's construction and quality.
