That's an excellent and very practical question! The short answer is: it depends on the specific garden bench you choose and the retailer or manufacturer you buy it from. Let us break it down for you.
Many of our garden benches, especially those made from solid, pre-assembled sections like certain hardwood or metal designs, are delivered fully assembled or require minimal effort—perhaps just attaching the legs to the seat. For these, assembly is effectively included in the price.
However, for efficient and cost-effective shipping, a significant number of our benches are delivered in a "flat-pack" style. For these items, assembly is typically not included in the base price. This allows us to keep the product price lower and offer more affordable shipping options to you. But don't worry! We always provide clear, step-by-step instructions, all necessary hardware, and the required tools. Most customers find the process straightforward and can complete it in under an hour.
We do offer a professional assembly service as an optional add-on at checkout for most flat-pack models. You can select this service for a clear, additional fee, and our trusted partners will deliver and assemble the bench in your chosen spot, ready for you to enjoy immediately.
So, when you view a product on our site, please check the "Delivery & Assembly" section carefully. It will explicitly state whether the item comes "Fully Assembled," "Requires Some Assembly," or if "Professional Assembly" is available as an add-on service. Our goal is to offer you flexibility: save money by DIY, or add convenience with our professional help. Either way, you'll soon be relaxing on a beautiful, sturdy garden bench.
