Thanks, fellas.

It's a space we're considering leasing, and we'd be in for about five years. The layout of the space is that there's an enormous front room/lobby that's got a kitchen area in it, and we're leaning against carpeting for that reason. We want something nice that will pop when visitors walk in, but I was afraid of the cost of hardwood, which is being suggested.

It's in a downtown high-rise, so I suspect it's a concrete floor.

Are the costs you're estimating counting installation, or is that separate?

Many thanks for the input, too.
