that is one of the differences between housing standards on the continent and in the UK (or what people find acceptable) - proper wooden flooring is rare and even more expensive in UK than usual, so having pine floor is excellent, and I believe Cort that he likes it - especially compared to what you normally get which is carpets, or relatively often these days, but still in minority - laminates.

However proper oakwood floor is the old standard which Europeans figured out ages ago, and well - stick to it, if you can get it, you are set for life... but that is a bit counter US/UK lifestyle as people there comparatively move a lot so making a bigger investment "to last for generations" is not that popular.
