I would keep the wood over any of the photos shown. The interior is cold, and needs something to warm it up. No, I am not American, and I haven't figured out how Queen Victoria got back into the 16th century, but there you have it.

If you are thinking about the matte plastic, just buy one and try it, for $20.
