From a purist viewpoint, the fake wood thing bugs me ... a lot. From a utilitarian perspective though, I hardly see a down side to using a composite. What could possibly be better than a strong product that will never need paint and will never rot?
Is it heavy? Expensive? Does it expand/contract excessively with extreme summer heat or winter cold? Lastly, does it even a little bit look like wood?
You've got me thinking now. I wonder if it comes in colors ... like black?
