We have installed about 3000 sq ft of this product between 2 houses. Before buying the product, we put some on the bare floor in front of the front door and left it there for 2 years to see it the product held up (we were under constructions in other parts of the house that allowed us to do this experiment.) The product held up well, did not fade, did not scratch, and did not show any signs of wear even though we treated it badly. The biggest negative for this product is the difficulty in installing. The tolerances on the boards are "iffy" making the installation very time-consuming. Instead of locking together smoothly, the boards frequently had to be pounded on the edges to make them stay together. Even then, we had to nail some of the boards to keep them down. And it took two people to install the boards, one to line them up and the other to stand on the edges to keep the boards from sliding. If we had to start all over again, we would probably buy something easier to install, but the floor looks great and it was fairly cheap.

Tongue and grooves are cheap / fall apart easily. "Water resistant" advertisement seems questionable.

Great for the price
Let me state this first, if i had it my way id go waterproof vinyl with a build in underlayment, but we bought a house that had laminate installed throught the house except for the bedrooms. This matched our floors perfectly and out of the 11 boxes we used for one room i only had one messed up piece so i used it as an install tool. Yeah the floor makes a little noise depending on the temp but i went with a cheap underlayment so its shame on me. Bottom line is this is a great flooring for the price also if you buy this get a few extra and store them incase something happens. An associate informed me that flooring styles are only out for so many years before they are removed from inventory.

    Not Waterproof
    Was told this item was waterproof. It is not. Do not install in a kitchen.

      NO CLICK LOCK AS DESCRIBED
      Bought 20 boxes - NO click lock! Not enough of a "lip" to interlock or even be stable. I've installed laminate before, and never saw anything as cheaply made as the edges on this stuff. Three rows laid down and the whole things was slipping and moving. RIDICULOUS. I'll be returning and going to a flooring store to get true click lock laminate.

        Newly installed, no furniture or use of floor yet and it is an absolute mess. Floor is peeling apart and cracked along so many edges. If a sock or piece of fabric catches part of of the floor it rips layers right up. Filed a complaint as there is a warranty and nothing is being done. Absolutely ridiculous

        It’s decent laminate what you pay for. I’ve laid super high-end laminate my Pergo and other high-end brands. They definitely up for up for their easier to install they definitely hold up better. I’ve had this laminate installed at my house for about a year now I’ve had one or two seams break but I’ve had to come back and fix

        Even a kid can install this…No Joke
        My husband and I started the install, this is not for the old backs and knees without a good flooring install roller for old knees. LOL our daughter watched us for a few rows. After watching us, seeing the onset of pain of our faces, hearing the grunts and groans…. She took over and we finished the room probably in the time her Dad and I had laid the few rows we had done. Now you all wont believe it… our kiddo is 11years old!! Yea she is a really cool kid. Of course it is her room we are working on. So far its a great product, really nice look and enough different patterns to look so natural and clean.

          Floors go together easily and look great. My only complains it when cutting the planks the tend to chip easily. So I've had to mask and cover some areas.

          I love this flooring as it is super durable and has the drop down end installation method. It is far easier to install than other types, and the 12 mil surface holds up great in my rental properties.

          Horrible Flooring. Took 3 days to get 7 rows down.. super hard to put together and when it would finally click huge pieces would chip off the top or the edges would break. Very heavy planks and poorly constructed.. looked almost cheaply made. Would never use this flooring for any room. Ended up having to take it back and get different flooring. Very disappointed because it looked nice in the house.

          Caveat Emptor
          While the Distressed Brown Hickory did look very nice when I laid it out on the floor it didn’t take long before I realized just how poorly engineered this product is. Unless you are putting this product over a glasslike subfloor you will have problems. If you are renovating an older home stay away from this product. I was able to return all the crates and upgrade to a Pergo floor that worked magnificently. My advice is pay the extra money for a better product.
