I would push back gently on the sharing part. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near my desk.

This has cozy competence written all over it. My friend tried it in Melbourne and had the opposite result. Great use of light and restraint.

Excellent timing; I was just thinking about felt. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing. The small imperfections make it feel human.
