Thanks, folks. The store manager offered us $100. Much error on our part
on this choice. It looked great for a week or so. BTW, our little dog is
about 50 lbs. big gal is about 80.


Your error wasn't so much in choice as in expectations. If you want dog
nail scratch free floors, put down tile. Some looks like wood.



I was at an entry way to a restaurant yesterday. They had the dark wood
looking tile floor. I have never seen this style before, it cupped and
bowed up on some ends. It really looked like an old wooden floor that
had been in place for many years. The cupping and bowing was only
slight in actual physical condition, but looking across the floor at a
distance it sure looked like it's fasteners were coming loose.


There is some pretty amazing wood-look tile out there. If you think
it's all the stuff that HD sells, think again.
