I think the benches look good.
Are you sure it's all wood - it probably wouldn't be strong enough to support the load if it is.
Perhaps we should just wait until it's done.
Yes I knew about these benches. I like the benches. However, I did not remember seeing any of these benches on the actual slips.Well the designer of the project West 8 + DTAH were the actual designers of those benches..... take a look at Page 7. The new benches being installed there are exactly how they should look as outlined in the furnishings section of the PDF.

Thanks alot bar1967; too many times people jump to conclusions without consulting the plans themselves...
The bench is as done as it will be. It's finished, go see for yourself.
What worries me is that this cheapened version of the bench may be what is seen throughout the entire waterfront. The red metal versions were iconic and representative of our country (West 8 likes the Canadian Maple Leaf and Red colour clichés), this built bench is anything but.
