URBAN OUTDOOR FURNITURE

Assembling urban outdoor furniture yourself is generally straightforward for most modern sets, thanks to clear instructions and pre-drilled holes. Many manufacturers design products for DIY assembly, requiring only basic tools like hex keys and screwdrivers. Simple items like chairs or small tables often take 30-60 minutes, while larger pieces like sectional sofas or dining sets may take 2-3 hours. However, professional installation becomes advisable for complex items with electrical components (like lighted pergolas), heavy stone or concrete tables, or when dealing with uneven surfaces requiring precise leveling. Most users find DIY assembly manageable, but those lacking time, tools, or confidence may prefer hiring a professional, typically costing $100-$300 depending on complexity. Always check the manufacturer’s difficulty rating before purchasing.
