Are solid wood accessories suitable for laminate flooring?

I have laminate flooring installed in my private office. The installer suggest me some solid wood accessories. Is it a good idea?

We don’t think solid wood accessories are suitable for laminate flooring. Their colors can not be the same. The colors of laminate are similar with that of solid wood. But most of the colors are not the same, especially for the colors of 2-strip, 3-strip or multi-strip. What’s more the solid wood accessories are not strong abrasion resistant. So the T-molding made of solid wood can not be used for heavy traffic place, while laminate flooring is often used at heavy traffic place. Solid wood accessories are much more expensive than accessories made of density fiber board. And they can increase the value of your house. So we don’t think it is suitable to use solid wood flooring for laminate flooring.
