If you use the Search pull-down on the blue strip at the top of the page and put either hardwood or laminate in it and fill in the dot next to Posts you'll find a treasure trove of information from your fellow posters.

Real solid Hardwood is very seldom put down here as there is nothing to nail it too and moisture could cause some problems. What is used mostly is engineered hardwood and laminate. Engineered hard wood is a thin piece of hardwood glued to plywood. You really can't tell the difference between it and solid hardwood. It will mark up just like the real thing. Laminate on the other hand is almost indestructible.
