My shop stopped offering stained wood as the standard.

Clients were surprised, but painted surfaces handle daily wear much better. We've had fewer callbacks since the change.

Ha, I can just picture the wood purists clutching their pearls over this one! They always go on about the "natural look" until their fancy stain gets a water ring or a big scratch. Paint hides a multitude of sins and just takes the abuse, no question. It's smart business to go with what actually works in real homes, not just what looks good in a showroom. Less callbacks means happier customers and you actually getting some weekends off. Bet your phone is a lot quieter now!
