My entire upstairs now has laminate flooring. I would have loved real hardwood, but 1. Spent most of my youth in thrall to my mother's hardwood floors (does anybody else remember waxing?) and that sucked, and 2. My kids kept wanting food, clothes, and expensive trivia like that.
It's pretty great stuff. Low maintenance aside, I was utterly grossed out by the crap that was in and under the carpet when they pulled it up. Now I can not only sweep and get the crap up and out of here, but the felt pads on the bottom of my very heavy furniture means I can scoot it around by myself! Even the piano! Gotta love that.
Also all our allergies are significantly better now. Hope it works out as well for you guys while you wait to build the house.
