Comment on The Undiscovered Country: Why is the galley set so worn out?

One of the plot points in “Undiscovered Country” is that the crew were coasting out the last three months until their retirement, when the Klingon crisis happens.
So it makes sense that the set team tried to make the ship look worn in and ready for some time off.

You and others have suggested similar theories. Other commenters mention tight production budgets or reusing set pieces.
I don’t get it though. The worn out effect is so over-dramatic and visibly noticeable on this one set/scene but not on any of the others. It’s like they played into making the galley look like a complete wreck but didn’t for the other Enterprise sets. Also the worn effect is not just one part of the galley - it’s the entire thing.

The galley is the only place that sees every crew member every day probably twice a day, it gets worn out much faster.
It’s probably one of those things unnoticeable in real life but stand out on screen.
