SWMBO and I had a really good but way too expensive (IMO) breakfast at a
restaurant in Amherst, MA. I'm more of greasy spoon diner breakfast kind of
guy but this place was suggested by the owner of the Airbnb we were staying
at, so we tried it. Anyway, they had some cool wooden and metal benches. I
didn't get a chance to sit on one, so I can't speak to the comfort. The seats
seem like they would be fine, but the backs look like they wouldn't be
comfortable for all customers. Have a look...

Of all of the things I do not build, anything you sit on. Seating is
just too touchy to get right. It can look great and might be something
you would not want your worst enemy to sit in.

These benches are cool but "many" restaurants have uncomfortable chairs
for a reason, they don't want you staying too long after you have eaten.


I understand this is the same reason they tend to make restaurants
loud with garish lighting. These customer unfriendly tactics make for
grumpy customers if the kitchen is slow. Grumpy customers make for
grumpy (underpaid) staff.

These might fit the bill just right.


Another place to avoid.
