Hardwood flooring is a great way to add value to a home; it really does make it easier to sell the home. I have ripped out all the carpet in every home I've ever owned, replaced it with hardwood and have always recouped the cost+. A dark, warm, elegant wood that isn't too hard on the pocket is: sapele. It's absolutely gorgeous and is extremely stable. Good luck.
