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

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.

some relatives had their kitchen redone a couple years ago and had wood tile put in the kitchen and it was the nicest floor I've ever seen. i remodeled my kitchen about 6 months ago and the first thing i went looking for is wood tile. The only thing that was holding me back was exactly what you mentioned.... i was worried it could be a fad and might look really cheesy in 5-10 years or whatever.

upon talking to a guy at a tile store, he advised that if i went with something really out there, i.e. tile that had a really weathered wood look, it could definitely be something that looks bad when styles change. however, something simple and understated would be fine as wood is a timeless look.
