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.Â* Seating is
just too touchy to get right.Â* 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.

These might fit the bill just right.


That was my though.
Most of the Mexican restaurants around here have benches with the seat
made of flat plywood with no padding and the back "rest" the same
material at 90 degrees from the seat.Â* Talk about uncomfortable.

Those types of businesses are based om quantity, not quality.
Get em in and out in a hurry.



Eggsactly! Almost anyone can sit on anything for 20-35 minutes but only
if they are already being served. If I have not been served I will tend
to walk out.
