Trust Traci! She won't steer you wrong! Our flooring put in last year is beautiful. Not only is it high quality, but Traci's design advice saved me tons of time and frustration at a warehouse consolidator....try getting someone to advise you about the details there! She was even available to help with baseboard selection, a finishing touch I overlooked. Posts related to saving a buck at the warehouse should see the botched work that the big HD Home improvement store made of our door installations! You get what you pay for and new flooring is such an investment that you shouldn't cheap out.
