Visited a high end showroom in Chicago and their finish felt wrong
I was at the Restoration Hardware flagship on North Michigan Avenue last week, and I ran my hand over a $12,000 oak table. The finish was glass-smooth, but it felt like plastic, not wood. I think the trend toward super thick, pore-filling topcoats kills the natural feel of the material. Has anyone else noticed this in high end shops, or is it just me?

Honestly, my whole couch feels like a vinyl booth now.

I used to love that super glossy look, but touching a table like that totally changed my mind. It just feels fake and cheap, not high end at all.

Ugh, that plastic feel is the worst. Do you think they do it on purpose for durability, or is it just a style choice that missed the mark?
