That's a great question, and one we hear often! The good news is that most of our park benches are delivered fully pre-assembled and ready for immediate use right out of the shipping crate. We understand that our customers, from city parks departments to private homeowners, want to place their beautiful new bench and start enjoying it without a complex DIY project.
For our standard models, the assembly is complete. You simply need to unwrap the bench, move it to your desired location—often a two-person job due to the weight and size for safety—and you're done. We design them this way to ensure structural integrity and to save you valuable time and effort.
However, we do offer a select range of premium or specially sized benches that may ship in a few large, pre-built sections (like the seat separate from the backrest) for safer and more economical transportation. In these cases, setup is minimal, typically involving just a few bolts that we provide along with clear, illustrated instructions. You'll only need basic tools like a wrench. There's no cutting, drilling, or advanced carpentry skills required.
So, to answer directly: there is generally very little setup required. Our goal is to provide sturdy, beautiful, and convenient outdoor seating. When you order, the product description will always clearly state "Pre-Assembled" or "Minimal Assembly Required," so you know exactly what to expect. We want your experience to be as relaxing as the moments you'll spend sitting on your new bench.
