Why is that flooring my favorite?
"I like the way it works with different furniture styles. The durability is also great, while the subtle distressing lets the natural color variation of the floor stand out. We have a customer who put over 3000sf of this flooring in his high end showroom at the Seattle Design Center and when I went to the Grand Opening gala I saw numerous people pointing at the floor and saying how wonderful it looked."
