I'm asking this question with an open mind. Please feel free to dog my point of view if I'm wrong.

I'm considering Kahr 5/8" clicking hardwood.

I believe this is the best choice because it can still be re-finished twice, cost just $4.25 s/f + underlayment and shipping, and I can install it myself. They carry plenty of colors I like. My floors aren't perfect(and I can't get them perfect) which is why I believe this flooring will be more forgiving.

I'm not going to put in Laminate, so someone please objectively tell me why I should glue, staple, or use Solid Hardwood.

Thanks.:confused:

What is not perfect about your floors? Click flooring is forgiving only to a point. Do you have low spots, holes, rot, or what? We might need a little more information to help you decide what to do.

Thanks for your reply,

The floors are a little low in spots by about 1/8". I do plan to fill in these spots but don't expect to get everyone low spot. This is what I was referring to. The rooms are above ground.

Please anyone advise on this choice of flooring based on my original question.

Thanks!:confused:
