When we bought a new home 15 years ago, my wife insisted on vinyl in the kitchen even though we had wood throughout the rest of the house. I protested, don't care for vinyl, she won.I ripped out my vinyl floor about 6 years ago and installed real wood,she admitted the vinyl was a mistake. I love the "look and feel" of real wood. Wood is a breeze to keep clean.Don't worry about leaks or damage, my BIL has been in the business for 30 years.
