"However, practically speaking, I'm not sure white lacquer is the way to go. I've had furniture and even kitchen cabinets in white lacquer and they aren't super durable."
Very true, it may look good for a while, but white gets dirty, no matter what it's made of. And it requires a lot of work to even try to keep on top of it so it doesn't look dingy right away. I've never been tempted to paint the walls of my house white, so why would I want my house on wheels white?
Why tear down someone else's product trying to make yours seem better? If the Aussie design works for them more power to 'em. Saying US makes are trash doesn't make the Aussie products better. I wouldn't buy one if they were offered here, not my cup of tea, har, but that's just me.
