Water and wood don't seem to agree. You will have a small amount of
water hit the floor when doing any handwashing and when cooking there
is an amount of splatter that would be best handled by some ceramic
tile. The water will eventually get through the topcoat and raise the
grain and/or distort the wood. Unless you feel comfortable topcoating
when needed. I like a low maintenance floor like tile. I don't know
that it is any more uncomfortable to stand on than wood as someone else
mentioned but I don't stand in the kitchen long enough to find out.
