Cork flooring

We’re planning some minor renovations to our house this year, as I think I’ve mentioned before. Part of these renovations will likely involve tearing up carpet and replacing it with some other type of flooring. While I like the look of bamboo, it’s not really all that green of a solution (despite the reputation bamboo has). Cork flooring seems to be one of the greenest choices, since it’s a 100% renewable resource (natural cork, that is) and is highly recyclable. I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen a cork floor in person, though. Has anyone here had any experience with it?

My wife was in a house that had cork flooring the other day and really liked it and lots of trendy commercial spots have adopted it, so it’s gotta be pretty nice, right?
