I like your motorcycle guy.

That's a terrible perspective and just another excuse for crap work and the degradation of a job well done.

That's not a hit on you but the mentality of "ah it's gonna get all beat up" doesn't fly with me.

Cabinets, furniture, interior finish work be it trim, hardwood fooors, tile, plaster yada yada could all be said will be used and thus degrade. To just say it's gonna get used and end up blemished anyhow just is not a perspective I can get aboard

But you are right the handles will tarnish pretty quick from use, "I can polish them back" and yes that tarnish will hide the imperfections and yes the plating will wear off if used enough..

So as tuff as I'm being on your perspective you are right.
