Common types of benches do not include....
[edit]A spanking bench?! Is this such a common type of bench that it warrants a picture on the page? It's encyclopedically valid, but I'd challenge its prominence here. Eeblet (talk) 04:09, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- I agree so I removed the photo. Perhaps if another image is needed a swing bench would do? --KGBarnett (talk) 21:31, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Promotional external links
[edit]I just noticed that the three links seem promotional and barely relevant: the first has nothing to do with benches, the second seems to be a photographer's self-promotion, and the third seems to be a bench manufacturer's self-promotion. I've removed the external link section for now, but if anyone has links to general information about the construction or history of benches, that would be super.

I don't see: bench seat, garden benches, picnic tables, church pews, etc. --NeilN talk ♦ contribs 21:04, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
Inappropriate caption
[edit]The image file Curvy_autumn_bench.jpg is, in my opinion, not captioned from a neutral point of view. The caption "Now, that's a bench!" seems somewhat editorialised. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.18.16.30 (talk) 21:23, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
- how so? --Roman Dog Bird (talk) 04:53, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
Merge with Social Sofa
[edit]I propose to merge Social Sofa into this article. This just is a neologism for a park bench. Park benches already come in all kinds of shapes and styles, and this is just another design. Nothing particular about this bench, maybe just a redirect may be in order. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 17:30, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
- Redirected it. Nothing substantial to merge (the Social Sofa article was more like a promotional piece for the artist). -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 13:58, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
Why does it say this
[edit]What does it mean when it says that some benches can be sat on both sides? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rocksok (talk • contribs) 17:16, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
