Indeed

"Bricolage", in a private context (typically DIY light home renovation) doesn't bear any negative connotations. In fact, several hardware store chains use the term (Mr. Bricolage, Brico Depot, Bricorama).

But using the term when describing a product or in a professional context is far more negative, often describing something which doesn't look well made or designed.
