I just saw that a metal computer monitor stand is offered in woodgrain colour.
That's weird, right?
Like: "Get the warm aesthetics of a natural material by adding another layer of plastic coating to steel!"
Yep. Weird.
It reminds me of the giant woodgrain stickers they put on the sides of station wagons in the US all the way into the 90s. Or the wood-coloured plastic pieces cars have in their interiors. Or leather texture applied to plastic and vinyl.

Exactly why the ceiling in my van conversion was done with tongue & groove pine (much to my builder’s horror).
Can’t do fake wood either.

Wanted to open my eyes to real wood while on the road.
