Well the wife and I were dead set on the Wine Barrel floors from Mannington. These floors are from the Maison Collectio / Provence Hickory. I believe they are new series of floors from Mannington with 50 year warranty. We are just a few weeks from purchasing so I decide to do some research online. What I find was a lot of people having bad experience with mannigton and the warranty is worthless.

Has anyone had a good experience with Mannington? This floor is almost $8 a sq ft and thats hard to pay after the issues people are having. Any other suggestions to get us the same look/color as the wine barrel? Looks like this is gonna be a last minute decision on our build:(
Here is a link to the floors also. I was planning to do nail down since we are on a subfloor. Also any ideas on what the Janka rating of this floor would be...
