We have it in the kitchen and have had no problems. No scratches or marks other than me dropping a full can of coke which hit at just the right angle to cause an indention. Other than that we've had zero problems. We are also wanting to put it though out the entire house. It's soooo much cleaner! Our dogs slip and slide on it though, so we're planning on a large (removable, so therefor cleanable) rug in the living room and runners down the hallways.
