Do you like pianos with a fabric-covered casing instead of a lacquered one?

The following question. As a studio renovating used pianos, both on request and for further resale, we are considering expanding our offer to include pianos with fabric/material finishes, as opposed to the standard finishes of lacquering or polishing. We are wondering whether to "produce" more pianos with fabric finishes - whether there will be buyers. Of course, there are customers for whom the appearance of the casing is secondary, and it's all about the sound or keyboard action, but I often encounter people for whom the appearance of the piano is important because it is a piece of furniture that we place in our homes, and for these customers, it is important that it matches the interior. Fabric upholstery is faster and therefore cheaper to make than lacquering. The question is whether you like the examples of pianos upholstered in fabric (photos below), or if you prefer pianos with standard casing finishes: white or black lacquer or color stained wood with clear lacquer (I also attach photos for comparison).
