Dream Home - Ispiri  12mm Americas Mission Olive Laminate Flooring

Picked up over 2000 sq feet in store at Spokane Wa. Extremely helpful staff, we are laying this ourselves in 2000 sq feet + and for amateurs it's going in very good. Looks beautiful, didn't plan on buying a laminate, but look at the photos, looks like wood, people who come to look, like it better then my hardwood maple downstairs.. Haven't finished the job, so I can't talk about durability, but when you lay this stuff correctly, it looks amazing, saved thousands and thousands not buying the hardwood.. This lays just like a hardwood, piece by piece, so no snap in sections you can customize with the pattern and really give it a hardwood look..

This flooring product looks great, installs easily and gives any room a fresh new look. This product is thicker than other laminates.

We installed this product ourselves and it was our first time installing any kind of flooring. We did a 230 sq. ft. room and it probably took us about 8 hours.
Before you panic, it would go much faster than what we did if you: 1. do not have floor registers (we had two and in the first row of boards to boot!) and 2. do not discover a leak around your patio door that necessitated some of the subfloor being patched. For the first, I recommend not only using a jigsaw but also a Dremel so that you can cut everything precisely. And make sure the register covers fit before you move on.
For the second, I recommend you thoroughly inspect areas for water damage, etc. before you start. Thank God it was raining when we did ours or else we would have not discovered this newer leak.
We also tore out all of our old carpet ourselves -- an easy job, but a detailed one since we had to go around and pull out all the staples that secured the pad to the subfloor. Make sure you inspect that subfloor and vacuum thoroughly before you start and during the job if you are stopping and starting like we did.
As for the actual board install: once we got beyond these two issues, it was very simple. Measure, cut, lay, tap, repeat. There is definitely a method to it that you learn. Don't get too far into things too quickly -- always look back at your last few rows and see if you can tap/tighten anything before moving on.
We used the laminate install kit that LL offers. The tapping block and the bar were perfect. The spacers were kind of unnecessary because we used scraps of flooring as we moved on.
We had only 2 whole boards out of 12 boxes that were unusable. We were very satisfied with the quality there. We did have some boards that had a big excess of the underlayment attached. All that needed was a snip with scissors, though. Easy peasy. I also found the color variation between boxes was minimal, even though we worked out of 2 boxes at a time while installing.
That's another thing -- be sure to read the instructions for info about minimal length and width of boards at various points in the room. All of that stuff is important to help your flooring last -- otherwise, why would they have bothered to include it?
So far, about a week in, we are very happy with this. We have two dogs and they have not managed to scratch or dent it up yet. We chose laminate for that reason -- the salesman at the store said it was durable, and he was right. I am so glad they steered us away from engineering hardwood. I know a lot of people search the Internet for answers, but seriously, talk to the store staff. They know their product and if you are honest with them about what you want and the wear/tear potential, they will help you achieve it.

the Laminate flooring was very easy to install and with the built in underlay made it very fast

This is the most beautiful floor we found and we looked at over 8 stores. We've received so many amazing comments on it. It has various shades of wood colors so it blends with other woods in our home.

I have had great experience with other Lumber Liquidator products, but this was a laminated nightmare. The click tabs are almost cardboard like, and the pieces do not click together in a solid way. The tabs are also brittle, so if you actually hear a click, it is not a sign of success ; it usually means a tabs partially broke off. I am stubborn, and have put a dozen other floors down over the years, so I took three separate multihour attempts to get it to work, trying different techniques, reading online information, asking LL etc. before giving up. I then got a different product from LL (morningstar bamboo), which worked flawlessly and I finished the entire room in a short afternoon.
Despite this bad experience, I would still recommend lumber liquidators overall, as other than recommending this poor product to me, they were fairly reasonable about the whole thing, and always have been helpful, and the other 3-4 LL products I have used have been high quality and value.

ok

I use this product in my living room, hallway, and bedroom....It makes the rooms look larger and beautiful. It was hard work because we did it ourselves but it came out well....

Used it to replace carpet. Easier to clean and maintain. Had it installed. Looks great. A little slippery to start but 1000 times better than carpet - looks, cleaning,everything.

This was pretty easy to install, I've installed quite a few laminates and this by far was the easiest, and quickest to lay. The way the boards come in small/varying planks is very nice. I've always installed the cheaper stuff and wanted to upgrade - this was a perfect move.
