What Ken said!

It's actually laminate, with a v-groove and not to toot my own horn, but it's the nicest laminate I've ever seen. It has a very rich look to it, and the grooves give it a nice texture.

I'm not a big fan of carpet in general, although it is cozy to lay on, and the VOCs emitted by carpet underlay is enough to keep me away. And, even though I spent a lot of time and money to ensure a dry, warm basement, there's still that slight chance of moisture.

Actually, I've now finished all areas of my house and the only carpets are small area rugs, and bathroom mats. It makes for a much healthier indoor environment (IMO), that is easier to keep clean.
