I have 200+ yr old hardwood in my sewing room. Don't have rolling chairs but do, obviously, have chairs. No issues and love the wood with an area rug in the middle for sound absorption and looks. We do have the wood-look vinyl plank flooring in our DR and I absolutely love it! Planning on replacing the carpet in our LR and BR with the same product. Granted, our DR doesn't get much use but I've noticed no scratching from chair feet or dog toenails. This is the Allure brand; higher end vinyl plank that is Home Depot's product. The color goes all the way through the plank. Plus it has a 'distressed' look to the top so any dents would not be visible. Our DR is roughly 12 x 9 and took DH less than 1 day (after room was emptied) to complete the project. Word or 'caution'...if you have plumbing pipes to work around (for baseboard heat for example), you'll need a heavy duty tool to get through this product. DH tried several times with a hole saw and hammer to no avail. Fortunately has access to many 'big boy' toys and the drill press made short order of that part of the process.
