We need to be consulted - before the decisions are final not
after!

Slow down and have additional input sessions. Create guidelines, goals, and a budget before hiring anyone. From using the old to starting from scratch. The value you get from a resource is directly related to the preparation you put in to define the problem and parameters for a solution.

A great deal of time and money has already been spent on the lobby. I think it's time to pause further spending on outside designers, take the time to hear everyone out, and see what we can come up with collectively before spending more.

Just put back the old furniture. It was inoffensive and sturdy. The new furniture looks cheap and insubstantial. And it is too low for anyone with a mobility issue. Also, I see at least one realtor who sells in our building and on the west side has signed this petition. That should mean something...

The co-op board must become more inclusive in its decision making, especially for something that impacts all building residents.

Our lobby used to be classy, elegant, serene and a respite to walk into. Know even guests who visit comment how disjointed, cluttered and cheap it appears, just like a furniture show room.. such a waste of money, such a shame.

Why hire additional consultants? In our considerable experience with consultants, we have not been impressed.

Walking into the lobby is a dispiriting —and embarrassing — experience.

I don't understand why the new lobby furniture has to be so ugly. How could the board think this was a good idea?

It's important that shareholders have a say in the design of the lobby.

I am seriously worried that this Board will spend even more of the building’s reserves without getting much wider opinion information about how to use what we already have! Plus given the disaster of using the last incompetent designer for so long at such a great cost, I have limited confidence they will do any better now without more information from a larger number of our residents!
The lobby looked better before the changes.
