German term or phrase: auf jedem Parkett richtig angezogen
Ob Musikinstrumente oder Werkzeuggriffe, Edle Fußböden oder zarte Intarsien, der Ahorn ist *auf jedem Parkett richtig angezogen*.

I understand this to mean "works well for all of these applications". But I can't come up with anything poetic.
