I assume those seats are metal. If so - they must get cold as fuck in winter and (very?) hot in summer. Truly “cost-effective” seating.

More: too low and a tripping hazard.

Better than nothing

Nah, this is actually worse than nothing. The seats are too low for good ergonomics (usually around 15” ) for general population. The seats are too shallow meaning you can’t lean back or relax. Even though it’s double sided, it’s unlikely two people can use this at the same it.

It’s extremely hostile architecture as there’s no way to adapt this design. This is just a tripping hazard considering it’s painted black.
