window shutters: wood or vinyl?

Although wood window shutters can vastly increase the perceived value of your house, they require considerable time and labor to sand, prime and paint. Here is an alternative: good olde vinyl shutters! =) These are thicker and heavier overall and some even simulate the subtle nuances of natural wood shutters, from the texture of the woodgrain to realistic formed edges and corners.
