Seems like a terrible idea to me.

You make one mistake one time and bingo, you cost yourself a few grand to have it sanded, leveled, varnished, and polished.

Tacking on, tile is cold and vinyl looks silly.

Also, nothing survives a drop to tile, ever. And you're left trying to clean shards and sauce out of the grout. Fuck my tile.

You should try installing some good ole linoleum. We solved kitchen flooring in the 1860s but people need to install expensive floors that are worse in every way because... why exactly? I don't know. I have hardwood floors that are 17 years old and they need to be replaced. Linoleum floors last as long as 40 years. I'm thinking of going old school.

Is it solid wood or engineered? Some very soft variety of wood? 17 years is extremely short...

Our old dishwasher and previous cats sped up the process with the one thing that kills hardwood floors.
