We bought this house, had the carpet removed and replaced it with
hardwood floors. We did this throughout the entire house. We have only
been here one year, and we have not experienced any problems. I was
concerned about having problems the kitchen and the bathrooms, too.

The wood floors do not seem as "hard" on my feet as the floors I had at
work. Good luck with your decision.
