It actually looks pretty good. It feels soft so it's not like those wood looking tile.
Even the newer laminate looks and feels very wood-like. They got rid of that hollow click sound (drop keys on laminate and drop keys on wood and you know what I mean) by using cork backing.
The advantages of vinyl plank over laminate is it's softer, waterproof and less expensive. We did laminate once because of pets/kids but it got water-damaged by renters, which isn't supposed to happen to this vinyl stuff.
But, I think the boss wants to do engineered wood in the main spaces, and go with tile in the kitchen... transitions be darned.
