URBAN BENCHES

If you're planning to purchase custom park benches, one of your first questions is likely about the minimum order quantity (MOQ). The direct answer is that it varies significantly, but typically ranges from 5 to 50 units for most manufacturers. Several key factors determine this number. The complexity of your design plays a major role; a simple, standard powder-coated steel bench will have a much lower MOQ than a intricately carved wooden or ornate cast iron design. The manufacturer's capabilities are another factor—large factories equipped for mass production often set higher MOQs (like 25-100 units), while smaller workshops or artisans might accept orders for as few as 1-5 benches, though at a higher per-unit cost. Material choice is also crucial. Benches made from common materials like standard hardwoods or tubular steel are easier to source and produce in smaller batches, whereas specialized materials like tropical hardwood or custom composite might require a larger commitment. For most commercial projects, such as furnishing a city park, hotel grounds, or corporate campus, an MOQ of 10-25 benches is a common starting point. Don't be discouraged if your initial need is smaller. Always communicate directly with suppliers. Many are willing to negotiate, especially if you plan future projects or can be flexible on delivery timelines. Be prepared to discuss your exact specifications, material preferences, and budget. Remember, a higher MOQ often comes with a lower per-unit price due to bulk material purchasing and optimized production runs. To find the best fit, get quotes from multiple manufacturers, clearly stating your project scope, and ask specifically about their flexibility on order size.
