URBAN OUTDOOR FURNITURE

When ordering outdoor furniture in a special color, customers often wonder about the expected lead time. The production timeline for custom-colored outdoor furniture typically ranges from 4 to 12 weeks, depending on several factors. Manufacturers require additional time for special orders because they must coordinate custom paint applications or powder coating processes that differ from their standard production lines. The complexity begins with color matching, where manufacturers work to replicate your specific color choice using their available coatings and finishes. Production scheduling also plays a crucial role, as custom orders are usually manufactured in smaller batches separate from regular inventory. Shipping considerations add another variable, especially for international orders that may require additional transit time. The specific material of your furniture—whether aluminum, wrought iron, teak, or synthetic wicker—also influences the timeline, as each material requires different preparation and finishing processes. Many manufacturers offer rush options for an additional fee, though this depends on their current production capacity. To get the most accurate timeline, always consult directly with the manufacturer or retailer before placing your special order. Planning ahead for your outdoor furniture needs ensures you'll have your custom pieces ready when you need them for your outdoor living space.
