This is largely personal preference for each individual. As an example - some people prefer kangaroo leather, some horse leather and others cowhide. Some prefer smooth surfaces and other more rough. It's the same with wood - some people prefer balsa wood, others bass, oak, beech or alder wood, some prefer fabric instead of wood. Gritomatic tries to provide as many options as possible.
