So how did you do?
Obviously, the materials will look different in person
than they do in these photos. Repeat this test at your
local home improvement or flooring store to better
gauge which material is more visually appealing to you.
In the end, go with the material that best fits you and
your lifestyle. Don’t pick a material or avoid a material
based on whether it’s “real” or “fake”. After all, what’s
in a name?
