Looks great! I’ve done several of these for myself and family/friends. They hold up to dogs claws. At least the hardwood versions do. The first one we did was at my mother in law’s place and the dogs were fighting and playing on it right away. I was a little nervous but no scratches.
I'm interested to know how that tile/wood transition has held up over these 2 years? I'm currently working on a similar transition but have decided to use adhesive because every resource I've found highly advises against butting a floating wood floor against tile as they have a tendency to shift around. Side note, you mentioned sanding limitations as a con for EHW. While this is definitely true for a cheaper, lower quality product that one would find at Home Depot (which is actually not rated for sanding at all), a higher quality 3/4" EHW will have a 1/8" wear layer. This is equal to the limits on how deep you can sand tongue and groove hardwood before you reach the groove and destroy the floors. For all intents and purposes, a nice EHW delivers all of the benefits of real hardwood, while still having everything that makes EHW great (less warping/movement, wider planks, cost, etc). If you plan on keeping the floors for life, it's worth the cost to upgrade to a high quality product!
Love it! We want hexagon tile in our dining room and the living room is wood. This is a perfect idea to our transition dilemma.
Thanks I'm really happy with it still!
I really like the hickory, great pick... welcome back!
Thanks! We are really happy with the choice!!

We haven't had any scratches either, but were still trying to keep the dogs nails trimmed!
Thanks for watching!

No answer is an answer?
How is the caulking between the tile and hardwood holding up? Might try that instead of installing a threshold for an entryway.
how to identify what tiles to be laid , since they are all random?
We laid the tiles out first and traced them on the subfloor that way we knew what the pattern was going to look like.
looks really bad tbh
No one needs your negativity. Thanks for watching!
