What's your opinion? All I know is I've done one and it's taken me about 20 minutes because I don't want to screw up. And I have to do 3 coats! So at this rate I might have them done by next July!
I think it looks pretty cool. I also think if you like something you shouldn't concern yourself with what other people think. Generally, you shouldn't concern yourself with the opinion of anyone who doesn't have a stake in your investment.
