I am biting the bullet and going to buy my dining room flooring this weekend but I just dont know!

Does vinyl still look a bit, erm... Cheap? :money: Or have we moved past the 70's look of it now? Would it even work in a dining room?

I'd love to hear anyones opinions on it please.

    Bite the bullet and get some real wood. There really is no comparison and it needn't be as expensive as you think.

    Thanks Pimento - I dont want wood though? I have a lot of oak furniture in the room and I think it would just be overload if I went with wood. :)

    Good quality vinyls laid well can look very good. But so can decent laminate tiles. Its all about what you think is appropriate, budgets, colour schemes etc.
