Talk:Key:bench:type

"Default" type and separated seats

The most widespread value is "seated". I wonder what is meant by this: Is it a kind of default value (for benches with a longer, continuous seating area) or is it a type of bench in which individual seats are separated from each other? A distinction between "normal" benches and those with separate seats would be necessary. For me, the specification of seats=* is sufficient as an indicator for separate seating areas. If there are no separate seats, seats=* should not be used - if necessary, length=* or bench:length=* could be used instead, from which the number of people who can sit here can be determined. Anyway, we should add good sample pictures. --Supaplex030 (talk) 12:20, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

"lounger" type

In most cases, "loungers" should be tagged with amenity=lounger. But sometimes they are actually benches on which you tend to sit in a lying position (see the picture). It would be a good sample picture for bench:type=lounger (without amenity=lounger).--Supaplex030 (talk) 12:56, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

Or is it like amenity=seat and amenity=bench: A lounger for more than one person is a bench with bench:type=lounger?--Supaplex030 (talk) 13:01, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
