Hey @goldenoakfarms. Our floors are slate. They are gorgeous and durable but they are so hard to stand on all day long, something that I do a lot of. I have anti fatigue mats to stand on and that helps. I am not sure what else we would choose to be honest. With two dogs our floor is easy to clean and don't scratch up as wood does ...plus our house is all wood so the contrast is important. Thanks for the well wishes, I am feeling a lot better today.
