Love it, or Hate it ? (wood trim)

Well, actually not quite that strong!

I'm talking about wood trim on amps or preamps? Some of the wood appears to be quite beautiful, but I think that it looks "wrong" and I dislike wood trim! I'm taking an informal poll:

Hate= Would NEVER own with wood trim
Dislike= Would prefer no wood trim
Neutral= I could care less
Like= Would prefer wood trim
Love= MUST have wood trim

Also, if you live outside of the USA, would you please indicate so and your country, [if you feel comfortable giving this info]?

I'm just curious about preferences, and also to see if they vary in other countries!

A cheap shot, wood trim went the way of the square wheel, completely outdated! Even worse are wooden knobs.

Gungei, at least you don't have to worry about a static discharge when you touch a wooden knob or plastic for that matter.

I think I would make up new category-"Depends".
On how it is done that is. Love the two side wood panels on my JOR looks great, but I wouldn't like it as a front panel. Hate the wooden knobs on Art Audio amps. Love the wood work on some of the PATHOS stuff. Otherwise hate it unless finished with black satin finish paint!! IMO.
