The "wood" they put in the other models seems pretty well encased in plastic itself. That shiny slick surface isn't wood.

The shine is the clear acrylic they put on it. It protects the wood and makes it sniny. it doesn't work well against ring marks, but still.........

And acrylic is a type of plastic. Once the wood is encased in that, it isn't so natural anymore.
