Everyone at the Bolingbrook, Il storen was knowledgable, helpful, porofessional.

I really couldn't ask for anything better. I'm so happy with this floor. It was easy to install and it looks amazing. I was blown away by the results.

easy to install. be gentle with a tapping block. The floor goes down easily on top of a good quality pad with vapor barrier. use a air nailer for molding.

I installed this product in my master bedroom and upstairs hall, replacing the carpet. It looks very nice and brightens the room considerably. Was easy to install relative to the hardwood i did downstatirs. However, there were lots of damaged pieces and even with creative use of the damaged pieces I am now short even after alotting for 10% waste! Worse still is that by the time i got the flooring down, they have changed the interlocking design so now i will have to fudge the last 5 square feet of my hall and hope no one notices, assuming i can get it. Their inventory system must be a joy because one store tells me the other has it and the other claims the first one has it in stock.

always looks great!

Prepping the floor took the most time. Did a 10 by 10 room and closet in less than 4 hours. Pieces went together easily. I like that pieces were different sized. Made a random lenght pattern better. Backing did extend past edge of piece but was easily trimmed.

I just finished installing this floor into my son's bedroom. It is much nicer than floating floors that I have installed in the past.

I put this in a basement. I used the underpayment also with it for the moisture barrier. It was easy to install. The color takes getting use to buy my room is just insulation right now which is yellow song the room looks like a big sun. Its nice though, very good for the price.

The floors have been installed for 2 weeks now and I actually went back to get more boxes to complete the whole apartment. I received so many compliments on these floors. They really brighten up the rooms and give a nice clean look. They did not look too pale which was one of my concerns, and actually takes on a golden glow when the sunlight hits them. No complaints from me. I love, love, love these floors!!!

Service and delivery comments:

I initially was going to purchase flooring online, but decided to go to the Lumber Liquidators in Yonkers, NY instead. The staff was very knowledgeable and patient. They hand-loaded all boxes in my car. I would purchase from them again.

Overall, the sales team at our local (Arden, NC) office were stellar in their support and the product they sold me was exactly what we needed/wanted for our basement renovation project. The laminate was easy to install minus the directions being a bit vague in places. Using a small block to gently tap the boards in to place after the first row worked great, but the boards (being laminate) chipped fairly easy if great care wasn't taken.

That said, if you are patient and gentle while installing, everything should go smoothly. Once in, they look great for laminate (nothing compares to hardwood).

Service and delivery comments:

Since we are more than 30 miles from our local store, delivery was more than 25% of the product cost which was too high for me, so I decided to pick up the laminate (just over 400+ square feet) myself and the guys at the store were wonderful and really helpful (and they didn't make me feel like an idiot for having questions about the installation).
