Beautiful Flooring
Purchased to replace carpet in three kids bedrooms. It turned out absolutely beautiful and seems very sturdy. The installation was easy. Just be prepared with a saw for cuts and we watched a great you-tube video before we started on this product which provided good tips. We are so happy so we are purhasing more flooring to do the master bedroom. Other than the bedrooms, the remainder of the house is tile and the transition was perfect with the molding kit. I did a lot of research prior to purchasing this product and it is better than many other floorings of this type and at much better price.
Floors are a bust!
I'm only giving these 2 stars because they are pretty and they were inexpensive compared to other floor of equal thickness. After installing these in our home and using them for ONE day they already have 4 chips! We have been extremely careful when placing furniture and even take our shoes off to walk on it. I have NO IDEA how they chipped. If I would have known these were going to be so fragile I would have spent the extra 1,000 on a name brand. I read all the reviews on the flooring and was convinced it was a good option. I was so wrong. I am extremely disappointed with my purchase and would not recommend this floor to anyone. The outer most layer of these floors is extremely vulnerable to damage. Do not purchase if you want a floor that will last. Do not purchase if you have large dogs or kids. To be honest, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. You can get better flooring at an equal price at a discount dealer. This was the largest purchase in our total home renovation and I'm totally sick knowing it was junk. Save yourself the heartache. As far as installation these were really easy to install. During installation we had about one box total that was chipped and unusable.
Hi Erica. We're very sorry to hear about your experience. Because our laminates have an AC4 rating, chipping should not occur with normal residential use. However, it is important to follow the instruction guide when installing the planks to prevent damage. It is also important to protect your floor by putting felt pads on your furniture and trying to avoid dragging or dropping heavy objects onto the laminate. Please reach out to us at 1-855-250-8167 or techsupport@selectsurfaces.ca so we can further assist you with this issue. Thank you, Select Surfaces.
NOT spillproof
We purchased over 1000 sqft of this flooring after having purchased a box a few years ago and assembling a pad that we had in a high traffic area of our house for a couple of years to test durability. The original box purchased seemed great, no trouble with scuffs or wear, so we decided to lay this in our main floor. The "upgraded" flooring is supposedly 24 hours spill proof. We have laid the floor in 3 bedrooms and more recently in our living area. The flooring is not spillproof for even a couple of hours. The edges begin rippling and bubbling. It is beautiful floor, but this is an absolute disappointment. Will be looking for a refund and other options.

Sadly disappointed
I love Sam's Club and trusted their products. When we began remodeling, my wife picked the Barnwood flooring. When it was installed, it was beautiful and exactly what we wanted. Soon we noticed "bubbling" in laminate of the flooring where water had spilled. Now, the problem is I haven't tried to get a refund because I don't have the money to reinstall the flooring. The flooring has been down for about a year and I hate to think what will happen best year.

Love the product but can't find molding strips
This is a great product and super easy to install. Remember that on concrete surfaces you DO need a vapor barrier, but on second floors you do not. The only negative is that you cannot find the transition moldings anywhere. And if you buy them from the manufacturer you are going to pay 2x as much AND you only get 1 piece (total rip off). I put this flooring in my closets, master bedroom and home office, but now I am regretting it because I cannot find any transition strips.
Hello. Thank you for posting a review. We're glad you're enjoying your new flooring and the installation process. Regarding purchasing the transition pieces, you can make an order online and have them delivered straight to your home or Sam's Club. For more information, please not hesitate to contact us at techsupport@selectsurfaces.ca or 1-855-250-8167. Thank you, Select Surfaces.
I love my new floor!
I had a darker color of this same flooring for 12 years in part of my house. Also living in the house were 4 large dogs, ie. Great Pyrenees. With such large claws of the Pyrenees, the dogs never made any scratch marks. The color and shine lasted. I decided to have the entire house done in the Barn Wood color. I had a professional floor company to install in a 2800 square feet house this past week. It looks very nice and complements the off white walls and base board trim. The house looks brand new on the inside.
Very Good Value
Great product for the price. I owned a flooring installation business for two decades and this "locking system" is one of the most simple, sure and reliable on the market. As with ALL locking laminate, care must be given to the locking grooves and channels so as to not damage them. Highly recommend!
3+ years and counting…
Let me start by saying I have NEVER liked laminate from day one on the market…just wasn’t a fan of it…the feel, sound, quality, overall look. This floor is different! I researched it immensely before purchasing 2000 sq ft for my home and I am NOT disappointed even after living on it over 3 years now! It went down very well, the transition pieces all match very well and hold up to door traffic. This flooring is extremely durable, doesn’t scratch and stays beautiful. Highly recommend! I have pets and 11 grandchildren that come often…these floors stand up to life. I will say that in my research of reviews that none of the other colors seem to have as good of a result against the peeling that is notorious for laminate. Just something to keep in mind.
Hello, It is great to hear that you are enjoying our flooring! We would love to see the finished result. Please feel free to share some photos on our website selectsurfaces.ca/gallery. Thank you, Select Surfaces
Looks great, very durable
I purchased this flooring two years ago to install in kitchen and one bedroom. I have four dogs and at times pee accidents occurred while dogs I was at work. Liquid did not penetrate and the oops was easy to clean. Now that this color has been stocked again, I am buying more to install in master bedroom, hallway, office, living and dining room.
Hello, We're happy to learn about your positive experience with the Barnwood floor! We would love to see photos of your completed project - you can share them on samsclub.com or selectsurfaces.ca. Thank you, Select Surfaces
Verified Purchase
Terrible customer service
I ordered the product online to finish a flooring job. I received an email telling me the product had arrived, however it never did. I called Sam’s Club and spoke to customer service several times over the next 2 weeks. Each time they told me there was a glitch in the system and to expect a call from the carrier for delivery. I never received a call so I despite Sam’s Clubs repeated assurances that the flooring would come I asked for the carrier’s information. When I called I was sent to several other carrier services to track down the shipment. I finally found the order after several days of calling the actual company doing the delivery and found that the flooring was delivered to Reno for it to be shipped to my home in Stateline Nevada, about an hour away. Since the flooring was holding up the job for the last 3 weeks I asked if I could pick up the flooring myself. I did and finally got the flooring to my home. A very difficult and frustrating process. Since I bought the house with Sam’s Club flooring and did not want to replace all the floors I had to get the flooring from Sam’s Club. The quality of the flooring was fine, the customer service terrible.
