That's an excellent and very common question. The short answer is: our urban benches are typically positioned in the mid-to-upper range of the market, and we are transparent about why. We are rarely the cheapest option, but we focus intensely on being the best value.
Many manufacturers compete solely on initial purchase price, often using lower-grade materials, thinner steel, or less durable finishes. This can lead to benches that warp, rust, or require frequent replacement within just a few years. Our philosophy is "Total Cost of Ownership." We use premium, sustainably sourced hardwoods or high-grade powder-coated aluminum, commercial-grade fasteners, and structural engineering that withstands constant public use and harsh weather. While our upfront cost may be higher, our benches last decades with minimal maintenance, saving money long-term.
Furthermore, our pricing includes a high degree of standard customization—choices in slat style, armrests, and finish colors at no extra fee—where others charge for each modification. We also provide detailed CAD drawings, project support, and robust warranties that cheaper alternatives often lack.
Instead of just comparing a price tag, we encourage you to compare the specifications: material thickness, finish warranty years, weight capacity, and compliance with safety standards. We are confident that when you evaluate lifetime durability, aesthetic longevity, and overall project value, our benches represent a smart, lasting investment for your community space. Let's discuss your specific project needs so we can provide a precise quote and show you the tangible value behind our numbers.
