Metal benches make more sense to me as a uniform choice throughout the town. The log bench seems more like something you'd put in one or two areas to add to the natural feel of it.
Oooh~ sorry, I feel really dumb right now. XD
Man, that is a tough decision. I guess it depends on the overall look of your town?

Ah, I just saw your post in the Favorite Spot in Town thread. I think I'd go with the wood bench based on that picture, even if I slant ever so slightly in favor of the metal bench in general.
Definitely a rough decision. Is there no possible compromise? Wood benches in regular areas, with metal ones next to the Event Plaza and/or Town Hall? I'm not sure where you're planning on places benches, but having the fancier one over by the important town features and the simple one in residential/secluded areas seems fairly cohesive. I do understand wanting just one kind of bench instead of all sorts of benches all over the place, though.

Where I've dug the holes is where I want to place the bench. The Jacob's Ladders on the side are temporary replacements for the bushes I'm gonna plant there. Don't mind the area around the fountain though, it looks so plain. I haven't figured out what flowers I want to place there yet either.
I personally like the metal bench, so I'll start off a little biased. Even so, I think in those photos that the white bench would look better because the detail of the metal bench would be lost in the background a bit. But I'm not sure I'd like the white bench as much with snow on the ground or with a green grass background in the spring and summer. The metal bench might show off a bit better in the other seasons.
Lovely town!
