URBAN OUTDOOR FURNITURE

When ordering custom outdoor furniture, one of the most common questions we encounter is about lead times. The production timeline for bespoke outdoor furniture typically ranges from 4 to 12 weeks, depending on several key factors. The complexity of your design plays a significant role - simple patio sets may require less time, while intricate designs with special materials need additional craftsmanship. Material availability also impacts scheduling; popular materials like teak and aluminum are often readily available, whereas exotic woods or specialty metals might require extra sourcing time. Production capacity at the manufacturing facility and current order volume will also influence your delivery date. Most reputable manufacturers provide detailed timelines broken into phases: design approval (1-2 weeks), material procurement (1-3 weeks), production (2-6 weeks), and quality inspection plus shipping (1-2 weeks). During peak seasons, typically early spring through summer, expect potential extensions to these timelines. Many companies offer rush production for an additional fee, which can reduce wait times by 30-50%. To ensure your custom furniture arrives when needed, we recommend placing orders at least 8-10 weeks before your desired installation date, and maintaining open communication with your manufacturer throughout the process.
