I have had many people tell me that they like the "wood" flooring that I have used. They swear it is wood and are amazed to discover it is vinyl. I have used this flooring in two separate locations, one for the business and one for myself. I have started a movement with many people getting samples from me and planning to purchase this wonderful product. Thank you for all you have done.
