Haven't seen this on here before, so I thought I'd ask... How is the seating where you bowl? I bowl in a house that has like 1 table per lane with 4 fixed seats per table, and one loose one on the end. About every 4 lanes, they do have a "bar" with 4 stools around it, but it sits out in the middle with the tables. In my opinion, this is worst layout I've ever encountered at the lanes. We all sit there between shots, as teams, and it boils down to looking like a grade school dance - boys on one side, girls on the other and no mixing. Personally, (I'm oldschool) I liked the old seating around the telescore console with tables a little further back. Seems you could hang around the scoring unit (sometimes keeping score) and BS more with the people you were bowling against rather than being separated at different tables all the time. Besides, I thought the old seating was more comfortable anyway...

What's seating? There are 2 tables one permanent and a folding one for every pair. No bags space and a little cramped. But it's paradise compared to Jupiter Lanes in east Dallas. The highend has a 3 or 4 foot walkway and that's it and the bar is on the end of it.

Where I bowl, we have the AMF fixed chairs arranged in settee fashion, with a little table between the last and next-to-last seat for each lane. They were brand new 5 years ago(gray with a triangular-ahaped hole on the bottom of the backrest). Standing behind them and looking at them have reminded some of Pokemon with the hole and screws and all(his eyes and mouth).
We also have a pair of round tables and chairs for each lane pair- one behind the settee area and one up on the concourse- similar to what you would see at a restaurant.
All of the newer centers have the table and chair formation alluded to above known as "Frameworks". Looks and works better in centers without steps.

We have 10 fixed chairs in settee fashion for each pair. Where the foward
facing chairs come together for each pair instead of another chair there
is a small table. You can also step out of the seating area and stand
against the ball racks. There behind most pairs and separate the bowlers
from other traffic along the concourse. The arrangment is pretty good.
