Customer Reviews for CALI VPC Shadowed Oak Vinyl Plank (23.8 sq. ft./case)

This was one of the easiest flooring products that I as a DYI have used for flooring purposes. The product was uniform, easy to install, and looks like real wood.

All the same color planks very disappointing!

-Much darker than pictured, and much darker than sample section that was sent -Difficult to connect planks. Planks did not connect flush end to end -No built in underlayment I ended up returning the product before I got in too deep with it, and used a different product.

Beautiful flooring but not an easy flooring to install doesn't always seal tight

even the installer raved about its beauty and how well made it was. definitely made the right choice

Its a beautiful mix of medium, dark and red vinyl planking. I had a hard time finding something to go with my vanity and free standing cupboard because of the redish tone. This is perfect! It is a bit thinner than another make of flooring I have used in the past . But was easy to cut and lay. Make sure your floor is perfectly level or you could run into a problem fitting pieces together.

Good quality flooring. A little higher price then I usually spend but we have some in another room which has worked out well.

We installed our Cali Bamboo Blonde Ale vinyl floor a year ago. Warning: if you want something that looks and feels good underfoot for more than a few months, buy wood. This flooring is cheap, and it looks and feels it: the short edges started buckling and crackling quickly, and now the edges protrude, which means we catch our feet on them, which in turn cracks them even more quickly. The floor looks worse every week. Did I mention the primordial ooze coming up from in between the planking?

The rite matching color

Such a beautiful floor! The quality is above and beyond! There is no scenes that you can feel, it’s just so smooth!

Product was flawless, only issue is trying to receive all your order from Home Depot and after several calls to customer service and UPS, it was a blame game between the two, so I cancelled my order and returned what I received. This was over a three week period going through this headache. I will shop at their competitors from now on.

Great looking floor. Install wasn’t bad either. Snap pretty easily.

I have installed literally thousands of feet of engineered flooring over the years. Obviously the quality of products has improved dramatically, but this Cali flooring is the best. I just purchased and installed 600 Sq. ft.

Just what I was looking for to enhance bathroom remodeling project.

The quality of this flooring is awful. It’s thin, pops like rice crispies when you step on it. Despite the claims from the company that it’s tough, it’s full of scratches. Placing this in our home was a huge mistake. I would not recommend this product to anyone. Buyer beware.

Floor was easy to install. Color was very clean and the patterns were easy to mix and complemented well. We used this in a kitchen with off-white cabinets and white quartz countertops. It looks amazing!

We bought the Cali Pro Classic Bonde Ale vinyl plank flooring for four reasons. It looked to be a lighter color than most others with the warmth of the blonde shade. Second, it had a high wear layer for extra scuff protection. Third, it was on sale! Fourth, it was waterproof. It covers our whole house. We have only had the flooring down for about three months. So far so good. The only issue was with the installation. My installer said that "you have to be gentle or they will break." He must have been gentle though because we had plenty left over.

This is a better quality product than we purchased at a professional builder supply store.

The pieces have to be perfectly in place to lock and any minimal shift can cause the latching mechanism to crack and crumble. Once installed it looks nice.

Floors came out beautifully. High quality product. Very pleased.

Love this floor. Installation, not at all. Three day job in an empty house took nearly three weeks with a delivery of household goods before they finally got around to finishing it. What a mess. I would highly recommend NEVER using Home Depot contractor Romanoff Renovations, to install flooring. Otherwise the floor is beautiful

I write this after spending 1.5 hours trying to get two (two!) rows added in a small room. They didn't work. You watch their video on YouTube and the pieces Cali shows has an outside lip exposed on the right side of the plank when starting from the left side of the room. These do not. It's underneath and you are supposed to add a "bridge" piece when adding a new piece to the second (and so on) row...good luck. Using tapping block or pull bar? Get ready to have the edge pieces break as you have to hammer like Thor even to get it to pretend to move. If we were not a six hour round trip to the "nearest" Home Deport to return, I would have already started the trip tonight. Unbelievable. Again, I have done all but two of our rooms in our larger home and this was the first time trying a vinyl flooring--only did it because the room already mentioned (and one much larger room) are in the basement and wanted something waterproof just in case. What an absolute joke. As has been mentioned in other reviews, the butt ends do NOT want to stay connected (yes, the floor is even). If you want to lose your soul, proceed with the purchase. Not sure what to do at this point other than return (we are so rural that Home Depot cannot seem to arrange a pickup as we had two boxes arrive damaged and two carriers did not pick up so they finally refunded me the money on those two boxes). What a joke, truly. That I purchased these is honestly the biggest home renovation mistake we have made in our 12 years at this house...

The flooring went dow easily and looks great. We are VERY pleased with this product.
