I wonder if the wood is suppose to be heart pine. I suspect it might be s alvaged 6" pine sub-wall type boards.... it looks just like my bedroom & gr eat room flooring.... but that flooring has no nail hole type defects. To me, the grain is too wide for heart pine. It doesn't look like old tight
-grained heart pine. Also, good tight-grained heart pine is usually not 6 " wide, as I know it..... it's either 2", 3" 4" wide or very wide (and thic k) planks, though we can't tell the thickness in the pics.
Good old heart pine would be more red in color, also, I think.
I see one edge, against the right wall, is perpendicular to the central boa rds. That's a neat edging feature, but that feature makes it look a littl e too busy, maybe. There's enough busyness in the different board's grain (and furniture), so that edging is a little too much, maybe.
That space needs an old thick real heart pine table, not the one that's the re!

The main link, for those other floors, would have helped. Those comments were a little confusing, at first.

After looking further, your original link floor doesn't look like their own "recovered heart pine" labeled flooring. It looks like their Old Florida . The Old Florida looks like my salvaged subwall pine boards, now my floor ing.

I suppose it depends on who defines the lumber... to a possible unknowing c ustomer.
That pattern works OK for a relatively small, square room, drawing the eye to the table as the centerpiece.
Unfortunately, there is an extreme mismatch between the furniture style and the flooring, which is too rustic. The flooring should have been something knot-free, with tighter, straighter grain.
It would work with a rectangular room, too, with a similarly rectangular table. I don't think the difference in the geometry can be that great and still have it look good though. I don't think I would build a room around a piece of furniture, though.
Again, I don't think I'd build a room around a piece of furniture but I'd probably do the same because it would be less offensive with any decor.
