Are your benches assembled when they arrive, or is some putting together required?

Hello there, I’m your soon-to-be favorite garden companion—a sturdy, elegant bench. I know you’re eager to sit back and relax, so let me answer your question straight away: I do NOT arrive fully assembled, but I promise it’s not the furniture-building nightmare you might imagine.

When I first come to your doorstep, I’m like a sleeping giant in a neatly packed box. My legs, seat slats, and backrest are all separate, wrapped with care to avoid scratches. Don’t worry—I come with a clear, illustrated guide and all the necessary hardware (even a small Allen key). You’ll only need about 15 minutes and maybe a second pair of hands for the final flip.

Think of it this way: I’m giving you a tiny DIY adventure. As you slide my wooden pieces together and tighten the bolts, you’ll feel a sense of pride. I’ll watch as you smile—because once I’m fully built, I’ll be the most stable, weather-resistant spot in your yard. I’m pre-drilled, pre-sanded, and already stained with UV protection. So really, it’s just a joyful handshake between us.

If you truly want me delivered completely assembled, I understand—but I’d have to travel in a massive crate, which could cost extra and risk damage. My current packaging keeps me safe and your wallet happy. Plus, building me is a fun way to bond with me before we share countless sunsets.

So, are you ready for our little partnership? Grab a screwdriver, put on your favorite music, and let’s make magic happen. I promise once I’m standing tall in your garden, you’ll forget the assembly and just remember the comfort. After all, the best things in life often come with a little effort—and a lot of love.
