Customers say the waxed paper underlayment is easy to use and facilitates smooth movement of flooring during installation. Many appreciate its effectiveness as a moisture barrier and its affordability. However, several users noted that the product is quite thin and tears easily, which can lead to challenges during use. Overall, while it serves its purpose well, customers expressed a desire for a thicker and more durable option.
