I had my contractor install this flooring in a studio apartment I was renovating. I had purchased it and dropped it off there. HE was impressed and asked me where I got it and how much! I have had many compliments about the floor and the "floating" quality of the installation. It is a beautiful look at a terrific price.

I had the fiance of a friend install this floor in my living room/dining room/hallway on the first floor of my townhome. The area totaled almost 500 square feet. It took him 2 days after work for a few hours each day to install the floor with padding and water sealer covering over a concrete slab floor as well as install the trim.
The walls are painted with Behr's Peanut Butter and the trim is all white.
This floor has totally changed the look of the rooms. It looks so nice,several of my neighbors as well as the installer's brother will most likely be purchasing the same floor for their homes.
By the end of the year, I hope to have him install laminate flooring in all the rooms on the second floor as well.(Most likely the same product but different colors)

slow to start, but fast to the finish

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Husband and I put in the five year old's room to test it out and to see if we wanted to do the rest of the house with laminate. We found that turning the planks upside down when cutting to fit the finish pieces that it did not chip the finish. She loves it and now her allergies have almost dissappeared thanks to the carpet being gone. It has been installed for two months now and seems to hold out like a champ from the three kids, two cats, one dog and all the play date trafficing that happens here. Only con to the floor is that I don't like leaving her room because it is so cheery and clean looking. We are looking forward to returning to purchase more flooring and finish the rest of the house. We recommend this to any allergy sufferer or person who hates vaccuums. You will love this product.

Looks nice, but...
By LizVerified Purchaser from Niceville, FL on 8/24/2008
Pros:
Attractive Finish, Easy To Clean
Cons:
Finish Wears Easily
Best Uses:
Living Room
Describe Yourself:
Novice
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

We bought this floor for our living room/kitchen/hallway.
After struggling with the first two rows (the seams kept coming apart), we finally got things figured out and rolling. It LOOKS beautiful; however, it chips easily and the seams come apart way too easily, even after the floor was fully installed. We have to jump and push on the seam to get them to go back in. Also, BUY THE GOOD UNDERLAYMENT if you are going to use this floor! Don't try to cut corners with the cheaper foam. And, they don't tell you this, but you need a track to go with the end caps and reducers. You can get them at any hardware store, but for a hefty price. This floor will do its job for a few years, considering we aren't planning on living here forever. Next time, I will buy bamboo with a 30 year warranty. Laminate just feels so "plasticky" and thin. YOU WILL GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!!

I installed a partial floor in a game room. The flooring did not install easily. It did not snap together as it was advertized. I had to use heavy weights to keep the first boards stationary while I added more. The edges kept arrping up making it difficult to align the ends to tap together. It looks nice, now that it's finished, but getting there was a royal pain.

For the price of this product, you can't get any better. We needed an easy, inexpensive fix for our two kids bedrooms, so when we found this, we were thrilled. I can't believe how well the floors turned out. Our sons nursery looks like it is off one of the HGTV type shows!! Would recommend this to everyone. For the price, the quality is very good, and if it is something you get sick of in 5 yrs, it would not kill you to replace it since it is so inexpensive.

We weren't real confident in how this floor would hold up to the rough wear it would get from our Maine weather and our 2 Newfoundland dogs who love to rough-house with each other. We've had it a year now, and it looks just as good as it did when we first installed it. Our living room is 17 x 25 and we installed it in one day, had never done it before. So much easier to keep clean than carpet! You'd never know there were 2 walking piano benches with long nails--as long as all the fur tumbleweeds were picked up! We love it, and plan to install it in our bedroom as well.

Well...I had the boyfriend installing this for me in 2 bedrooms, hallway, entry, living and dinning room. I broke up with him/broke his heart and he walked out on the job, finishing only 1/4 of the job. Guess who had to take over? Me! o...needless to say ladies.. YOU CAN DO IT. I am artistic but not really a handy person.. So, it has been a learning process and I am slowly succeeding, mainly because it is EASY.. So don't be afraid, just do it! If I can do it, YOU can do it..

Just started to install the floors Sunday evening at 6pm in my daughters 168 sq foot room. I've NEVER installed floors before in my life!! I had my 9 yr daughter help and I plan on finishing the floors by this evening. The floor is beautiful! It's very bright and easy to sweep/clean...when cutting I used only a jigsaw and had no problems. My only complaint would be that you have to be very careful since it's only a 6mm board because the pieces can chip easily on the edges, but the Install Kit is a must w/ the tapping block, spacers and pull bar. I used a regular hammer to tap the block with no problem. I would highly recommed the best underlayment since this is a thin floor. I got QuietWalk from another home improvement store at [$]for a 100 sq. foot roll which I needed two. Other than that, I can't wait to finish because I plan on doing the entire upstairs in laminate! I would definitely recommend to do it yourself and save money instead of paying someone else. If I can do it as a 32 female w/ my 9 year old daughter as an assistant..believe me, anyone can!! Enjoy!

I used this product in my son's bedroom and I liked it so much I bought it for my daughter's bedroom. It looks great with either dark or light colored walls. It has a nice clean look. Makes the room look elegant. The only problem is you have to be careful handling it because it chips easily from the corners when installing.

Amazing

Pros:
Attractive Finish, Clean look, Durable, Easy To Clean, Easy To Install, Scratch Resistant
Best Uses:
Basement
Describe Yourself:
Novice
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

If you are considering this floor, and you are unsure if you want to put this type of product in your basement, I want you to consider no longer! Just do it! It is so much better than carpet. It is easy to clean and does not hold moisture like carpet.

I am so thrilled with this product. At first, I could not believe the price point. Since my budget was limited, and I decided to take a chance. The end result:I am THRILLED--just thrilled.

I have to continued working in other rooms in my basement after I had already installed the flooring in the main area of the basement. Clean up from construction dust was so easy.

The flooring looks beautiful, and when I have the basement complete, I will post pictures.

The flooring looks so good that my neighbors are all going to use the same flooring. Also, it was very easy to install. Very easy. I installed about 900 sq. ft. in about 12 hours. I am a novice.

You will need a table saw to complete this project.

Please buy this flooring. You will not regret the finished project. Just beautiful.

Was afraid it was too light when I saw it in the store, but in my home it is just perfect! My windows all face North, so it isn't that sunny. The floor looks a lovely honey color.

My husband did most of the installation, I was the helper. Once we go the hang of it it was fairly easy to install. I can't speek of durability or cleaning because we just finished installing and have a lot of clean up before I can even clean the floors.

But they look great! Absolutely perfect!

I've walked on these types of floors (floating)before and didn't like the hollow sound it makes, I ended up experimenting with differant adhesives and, I used adhesive (full coverage) and brads (sparingly) I them gave the whole floor a coat of varnish after covering the small brad hole and painting a border around the room, It's been a couple of months and so far its SOLID as a rock.

The floor was very easy to install. An upgraded underlayment is definitely a necessity. After installation gaps started to develop at the ends of the floor pieces (ends don't have the interlocking connection). I have a feeling this might be a problem with all 6mm products.

Underlayment was the most expensive part of this project. Because the floor was installed in the basement over cement, the recommended underlayment "3-in-1" was quite pricey. The product itself is perfect for a basement. Light, bright, clean looking, & durable. Easy to install.

We bought this to put in a playroom. I thought the price would be great for a "disposable" floor.

The kids love it...it is "springy" to step on and doesn't hurt during playtime and best of all everything comes off of it.

Great look for the price.

Pros:
Attractive Finish, Easy To Install
Cons:
Chips easily
Best Uses:
Living Room
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

First time laminate install. Worked alone and took my time (2 days) but could have done it in a day. A rubber mallet and the cheap install kit are REQUIRED! Pieces went together easily. Great look for the price!

Purchased 300 sqft for measured 280 sqft room with 5 doorway/transitions and one 45 degree angled wall. Had a full box left (25 sqft) for later use. I also purchased the Quiet Walk Underlayment and Reducer/End Caps.

Underlayment worked well on concrete with waterproof duct tape seams. Reducers are made with a groove to slip into a metal bracket, but DID NOT come with the metal brackets. Had to purchase some $10 non-matching sets at Wal-Mart to get the metal brackets. Will not purchase the reducers next time.

TIPS:
Use a soft brush to keep joints free of dust.
Will need water proof duct tape for seams and cuts in underlayment.
Buy the install kit! Angled pull bar required!
Use extra pieces of underlayment to slide furniture around.

Bottom Line:

I love the way this looks -- exactly as I wanted. Can't comment yet on wear or durability, as it's new. It's not really a con, but I found we had to handle it very gently as we installed to prevent nicks or damage to interlocking. Although I'm pretty good at "handyman" stuff, I could have done this early in my "career" in home repair and remodeling.

Cheap but finishes nicely
By William R HVerified Reviewer from Kelso, WA on 3/18/2008

Attractive Finish, Cheap, Easy To Clean, Easy To Install, Scratch Resistant, Very Cheap

Bottom Line:

With a little extra care during instillation, you can avoid the pitfalls of some of the uneven manufacturer cuts. It was very inexpensive, but it looks good when finished. Hopefully it will last for at least the 10 years its warrantied for.

Great product for the price
By Handyman DarinVerified Reviewer from Mansfield, MA on 3/16/2008
Pros:
Attractive Finish, Durable, Easy To Clean, Easy To Install, Scratch Resistant
Best Uses:
Basement

I suggested this flooring to a client for a basement remodel. They initially wanted carpet, however the ease of cleaning and durability of the laminate flooring was appealing to them.
Installation of about 250 sq/ft of flooring, shoe moulding, and two door thresholds, took only about one day.
I was extremely pleased with the quality of the product and consistancy of the joints. Very little time was wasted fussing with stubborn connections.
Cutting the product was very easy with regular power and hand tools, however it was dusty due to the nature of the material.
I would recommend using a light colored pencil or crayon to mark cut lines on the bottom of the planks. Normal pencil lines were difficult to follow on the dark brown underside.
Overall myself, and more importantly the clients, were extremely pleased with the final result.

We originally had purchased the Oak flooring and got to the store to pick it up and we really didn't like the color. So, they allowed us to switch to the Swedish Maple since it was the same price. I am very glad that we switched. It was really easy to install, and looks beautiful! Definitely worth the money. We are very happy with it.

This is a remarkable floor for the price. The folks at [...] suggested better quality underlayment and I agree it is probably necessary for the best results. Hope it keeps the beautiful finish and shine forever. Very pleased with the results and plan on doing more rooms with the same material.

Lower priced than [...] but higher quality product. Brightened my dining area immensely. My 2 year old loves it. Laminate is best for high traffic areas. I still want carpet for my upstairs though. Very bright color and highy recoomended floor
