I need some advice from the experts.

I have been debating with my niece regarging fitchen flooring and so far we
have determined the following:

Ceramic tile: Too hard. Any glassware that drops to the floor will
instantly shatter. Grout sucks up spills like a sponge leading to the
dreaded sour milk smell.

One piece linoleum: Generally looks like crap. A real bitch to install.

Peel and stick squares: They move over time and they generally don't last
too long. Looks cheap.

Wood Flooring: The right floor lasts but installing over a concrete slab
can be a real challenge if one wants to avoid that hollow sound. The
finish doesn't wear well with high traffic and the dogs running with their
nails is a concern. The added height of the wood floor can be an issue.
Then there is the issue of spills.

She mentioned cork flooring. Sounds ok but periodic re-coatings are
necessary. Are there any disadvantages to cork flooring that I should know
about?

What is your take on cork flooring?

thanks
