Professional kids bench assembly - children's benches and storage benches built sturdy and safe. Ready for sitting, storage, and the inevitable climbing.
Take a Seat
Kids' benches are versatile - seating, storage, reading spots, shoe changing. They also get stood on, jumped from, and generally tested. Sturdy assembly matters.
💡 Pro tip: If the bench has a storage lid, consider adding soft-close support - same finger-protection issue as toy boxes.

🔧 DIY Tips
Building yourself? Here's what matters:

💡 Pro trick: If the bench has storage, add soft-close supports before your child traps their fingers - much easier to fit during initial assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of kids benches do you assemble?
All types - simple seating benches, storage benches with lift-up lids, reading nook benches, window seat benches, toy storage benches. Whatever you've bought flat-pack.
Do storage bench lids need soft-close?
Yes - if it's a heavy lid, we recommend adding soft-close supports. Children access storage benches constantly and fingers get trapped. We can add this during assembly.
Can it handle kids standing on it?
We build it sturdy, but benches aren't designed for standing. That said, proper assembly means it won't collapse when inevitably tested.
What about garden benches for kids?
Same service - picnic benches, garden seating benches. Outdoor benches need assembly too, and often benefit from ground anchoring.
