I have parquee in my entryway and don't like it! But the newer product might be nicer....mine is nearly 20 yrs old (and coming out very soon!)

Why does everyone hate on parquet? I loved its durability while I had it. Dog nails did no harm on it (and I have 2 BIG dogs). I tore mine out when I remodeled and made a great room with the kitchen. Would have kept it if I could have.

Parquet is out of favor right now but it will come back. It's classic, and very common in European homes. Why tear out wood floors and replace them with plastic? I had parquet floors refinished in a house I owned years ago and they looked fabulous.
