Did you think nobody on this forum would have an opinion, or that they would be shy about expressing one? LOL!

I personally like "Custom Finish Shop" better. The word shop is more fitting. Wood Shop, Cabinet Shop, etc... Studio is more of a painting/art term, no?

Yes, but I can see how "studio" works as well. They want the custom finishes to be a "work of art." Thats how I look at it anyways.

I thought about posting something similar yesterday. I like it when names reflect reality. If the part of the factory where the finishes are applied can be called a studio, then stick with that name. If it's more of a shop, then shop may be the better term.
But I'd go with the term that makes the most marketing sense. The two terms have different connotations. To me, "studio" makes me think of fine art and painstaking attention to detail. "Shop" is similar, but brings up images of mass-production with pieces of wood flying through a vinyl-lamination machine...

I just find "Studio" to have an air of pretentiousness to it, where "Shop" conjurs images of a hard working craftsman.

Pretty color. The webpage is a little screwed up; the picture/text for the new color is out of line with the other ones on the third line. Also, is the grain horizontal, as it's pictured?
