Stone table delivery and access
A stone table is made to be solid. That is part of the appeal, but it also means access needs thinking through before the table is made.
Why access comes before ordering
Stone furniture is not like a flat-pack table. It is heavy, rigid and needs careful handling. A table that suits the room can still be a poor choice if it cannot get through the route safely. That is why we ask about access before the piece is made.
The useful question is not only, "Will it fit through the door?" It is the whole route: parking, paths, gates, steps, hallway turns, stairs, floor surfaces and the final position. A tight turn can matter as much as a narrow doorway.
Indoor dining tables
For a stone dining table, check the route from outside the property to the dining space. Look for narrow entrances, tight hallways, kitchen islands, low lights, stairs and sharp turns. If the table is going into an open-plan kitchen, think about how it will move past units and worktops.
The table base matters too. Some bases are easier to place than others. If access is awkward, we need to know before the table is made, not on delivery day. Send photos of the route, especially any points where furniture has been difficult before.
Also think about where the table will be used once it is in place. Chair movement, walkways and nearby kitchen units all matter. A table can be made to fit the floor plan and still feel awkward if people cannot move around it comfortably.
Outdoor tables and garden routes
Outdoor access can look simple until you walk the route. Side gates, gravel, garden steps, narrow paths, raised patios and changes in level all affect delivery. The final surface matters as well. A table on paving, decking or a terrace needs to sit properly once placed.
If the table is part of a wider garden project, talk to us before the layout is fixed. It may affect where seating goes, how people move around the table, and whether the delivery route stays usable once planting, fencing or outdoor kitchen units are installed.
For fire pit tables, access is only part of the question. The flame position, seating and normal use of the table all need to be considered together so the piece works on ordinary days as well as when it is lit.
What to send us
Send a photo of the room or garden, the final position, and the route from parking to that position. Include any stairs, steps, gates, tight turns and narrow doorways. A simple set of photos usually tells us more than a long written description.
Rough measurements help, but photos give context. They show floor levels, awkward angles and surfaces. If you are choosing a made-to-order size, access can shape the final recommendation.
Delivery and placement
Delivery is planned with you. The aim is to place the table where it is going to live, not just leave you with a heavy item at the door. If something needs checking, we will raise it before making. That is a normal part of ordering stone furniture.
Start with stone furniture, compare dining tables and outdoor tables, then send access photos before the final choice is made.
Common questions
Why does access matter for a stone table?
Stone furniture is heavy and needs careful handling. Doors, steps, turns, paths and final placement all affect what is sensible.
What should I check before ordering?
Check the route from parking to the room or garden, including gates, doorways, stairs, tight turns and the final position.
Can outdoor table access be awkward?
Yes. Side passages, gravel, level changes and garden steps can all matter, so photos of the route are useful.
