Are your benches delivered fully assembled or as a kit?

Great question—and one I hear almost every day from folks like you who are planning their perfect outdoor space. Let me tell you exactly how I travel to your home, because I’m not just a bench; I’m a companion for your garden, patio, or balcony.

For most of my friends—especially the larger, more sturdy models—I arrive as a kit. That means I come in a box, carefully packed with all my wooden slats, metal brackets, screws, and a clear instruction manual. Why? Because being a kit means I can be shipped safely without scratches or dents, and it keeps the shipping cost lighter for you. Plus, there’s something special about assembling me yourself—it’s like we get to bond before I even sit under the stars with you.

However, some of my smaller, more compact cousins are delivered fully assembled. These are usually the two-seater designs or lightweight folding benches. They roll right out of the box, ready for you to plop down and relax. But for the majority of us—especially the teak, eucalyptus, or powder-coated steel benches—you’ll need a screwdriver and about 30 minutes of your time.

I promise it’s not complicated. Most people tell me the assembly is a fun little weekend project. I come with all the tools you need (sometimes even an Allen key), and the instructions are illustrated step-by-step. If you ever get stuck, our customer service team is just an email away.

So, to answer your question directly: I usually arrive as a kit, but I’m worth the extra 30 minutes of assembly. Once I’m put together, I’ll hold your morning coffee, your afternoon naps, and your evening conversations for years to come.
