When ordering urban outdoor furniture for public spaces, parks, or commercial areas, a common question arises: is assembly included in the delivery? The answer depends heavily on the supplier, the type of furniture, and the terms of your purchase agreement.
For large-scale commercial or municipal projects, professional assembly and installation are often included in the delivery service. Suppliers of heavy-duty benches, picnic tables, bike racks, and concrete planters typically have crews that handle the entire installation process. This ensures the furniture is anchored correctly and meets safety standards for public use. This service is usually detailed in the contract or project quote.
However, for smaller orders or certain types of modular furniture, delivery might mean drop-off only. Items like some types of bollards, litter bins, or smaller seating elements may arrive pre-assembled or require simple on-site anchoring. For these, the buyer (often a property management company or business owner) is responsible for the final setup.
It is crucial to clarify this with your supplier before purchasing. Always ask:
* Does the delivery price include full assembly and installation?
* If not, what is the scope of the delivery? (e.g., curbside drop-off, placement in a specific area)
* Are detailed assembly instructions provided for DIY setup?
* Is there an option to add professional installation to the order?
Understanding these terms upfront prevents unexpected costs and ensures your urban outdoor furniture is ready for use as soon as it arrives.
