Ceramic tile that looks like wood.... Any experiences?

I really like the way the stuff looks and am considering doing my whole downstairs in it. It's a bit pricier than regular tile. Anybody got any experience with it? Does the finish hold up? Thanks.

Mine has only been down for a month so no comment on durability, but I've never heard anyone have issues with it.
It looks great and I would definitely do again.
Home Depot has some pretty nice wood tile for $1.99 sqft. So it's not always more expensive than regular tile.

Yes. We got it installed about 3 or 4 years ago. During instillation, a relative came by. Seeing the tile guys wiping the floor (removing excess grout?) he asked me if it was a vinegar wash on the wooden floors. I told him it was tile and he refused to believe me until he actually held the tile in his hand. It looks great and holds up like a champ. We sold that house and bought a new one with wooden floors. My wife hates them compared to the tile. In short, a some point, I will probably have these tile floors again.

It's great. Just use dark colored grout though

Ill do it, if we ever move.
Looks like wood, but doesnt scratch as easy and you can just mop it like normal.
Im in.
I put wood down in my kids room and the MIL rolled his high chair in there and put 2 awesome scratches less than 6 months of it being down.

Thinking about putting this down in the house now as well. Looks good in the showroom but my only worry is that it's a fad and when we go to sell the house it's going to be a "what were these people thinking" kind of deal.

Buddy has/had it in his house. Looked great when we were dragging furniture across it last week. I was impressed none of them broke in the demo. We were laughing at my wife, she thought it was real and wanted to know if it could be salvaged somehow. If you want the real thing, bamboo holds up remarkable well.

Wood floors can be a PITA to maintain. I've contemplated going over my oak with a floating laminate foor
They aren't as bad to keep up if it is a "distressed" floor but a pretty, smooth floor is hard to keep that way.Posted on 8/28/16 at 3:52 pm to Chuker
I'm about 2 years in and in about 900 sq ft of it getting heavy use from family (and pets) I think I have one corner of one tile with a chip that's about half the size of a dime

We have it in our shower- like a greyish teak. My builder had it in his bathroom- both places look awesome. Holding up great so far.

I had ceramic tile that looks like wood professionally installed in my laundry room / office remodel about two years ago.
Had this been an option when I initially built my house, my entire kitchen would have it as well.
Great product, very durable and easy to keep clean because the grout lines are very minimal.

I have it in my house.
Looks great. I'd recommend it to anyone.

If you get good quality it is fantastic. Don't try to skimp on it, or it'll look like shite.

I have these and love them, get rectified tiles and have an installer who knows how to install them with thin grout lines put them in. I got the Cerdomus Barrique Brun Porcelain Tile in a mix of 8"X40" and 4"X40" tiles and get compliments from everyone who sees them. LINK to tiles
This is my dining room, looking into the kitchen, you can see how the different width tiles were used. The picture really doesn't do them justice, they look amazing.

I just had a new house built and everywhere but the bedrooms have it. We love it, we got the 6x36 planks, the 8 inch ones look even better, but were a little pricy by comparison I thought.
I've seen accent walls done in it too.

We have it in the rental we're in. Durability is great but I've noticed it's hard on the feet and joints.

We have it in our guest house. Looks great - get lots of compliments.

Put it down in the master bath 1-1/2 years ago and love it.
