I would like to install a Kahrs floating wood floor in an area that includes a powder room. A plumber has told me that a toilet would wobble over a floating wood floor. The flooring manufacturer says 'no'.

Any advice, please?

You are still bolting the bowl to the floor - there is no reason the toilet should wobble. I would second the previous post.

I just got through doing this and I had no problems. The toilet does not wobble at all, and I don't see how it could unless you messed up with the wax ring or whatever transition you use between the toilet and the flanged pipe in the floor. Did your plumber give any explanation as to why he felt the toilet would wobble?
