What are the lead times for custom orders of landscape tables, and what factors influence these timelines?

When ordering custom landscape tables, lead times typically range from 4 to 12 weeks, depending on various factors. The primary influences include design complexity, material availability, and the artisan’s workload.

Design Complexity: Intricate designs or unique shapes require more time for prototyping and craftsmanship, extending production timelines. Simpler designs, however, can be completed faster.

Material Availability: Sourcing high-quality, sustainable materials like teak, reclaimed wood, or metal can cause delays if suppliers face shortages. Locally sourced materials often speed up the process.

Seasonal Demand: Peak seasons, such as spring and summer, may result in longer wait times due to higher order volumes. Planning ahead or ordering during off-peak periods can reduce delays.

Customization Requests: Additional features like engraved details, custom finishes, or special coatings add steps to production, impacting the overall timeline.

To ensure timely delivery, discuss your project details with the manufacturer early and confirm their current workload. Many workshops provide estimated timelines upfront, helping you plan accordingly. Investing in bespoke outdoor furniture is worth the wait, as these pieces are built to last and tailored to your vision.
