Uncomfortable bench

I sat on this bench to prove that it is as uncomfortable as it looks.

The condition of the back rest suggests that it needed repairing but the new pieces of wood on the seat are too narrow and, as a result, the gaps between them are too wide. The corners are also new and square, adding to the discomfort.

 

This neighbouring bench is still in its original form and the planks that make up the seat are wider and have rounded corners. It is a shame that the existing successful design was not copied when the other bench was repaired.
