I'm not saying that you have to like 'em, though, and since they are seeking input you're probably not the only one that doesn't.
The problem is the seats are nowhere near wide enough except when you use urinal etiquette (and I'm no fatty, but I do have arms and shoulders). If they replaced the seats with a flat bench the configuration would be much better.

Edit: beaten.
