The vinyl is applied very nicely. I build fine furniture as a hobby, and am somewhat of a perfectionist (so I’m told anyway). But, (always a but) the finish looks out of place in my home. Everything in my home is real wood (cherry cabinets, hickory hard wood floors), and the Boston Cherry vinyl most definitely looks like a picture (which is exactly what vinyl is) and not natural.

So, that being said, if you have real wood in the area you want to place your speakers, consider the finish carefully. If you simply have carpet and painted walls, no worries, the finish is very well done.
