We have now had these floors for 3 years. They are beautiful however they are not water resistant for 24 hours. My dog had an accident overnight so urine sat on the floor for maybe 6 hours and there are now bubbles in that area. Highly disappointed. We bought this flooring for the reason of it being 'waterproof', so I am only giving 3 stars for that reason. Otherwise the flooring is beautiful and thick. If you want true waterproof then I'd suggest buying something else.

I installed this in February and I'm constantly finding corners that are uneven and chipping. I was extremely careful when I installed this with the vapor barrier to make sure all the pieces were mated properly and the edges were even, as I do when I install ceramic tile. There are pieces that are now uneven, and the corners are chipping. I'll have to find a way to fix the issue so the cleaning pads don't get snarled and pull out more of the top layer.

I purchased 126 boxes of this flooring to place in my living room, dining room, kitchen and hallway (open floor plan). I went with this product instead of cheaper sq ft products from Lowes because this flooring is waterproof (spills for 24 hours), comes with backing installed, and is a much thicker product than most (about 1/2 thick and heavy). The trick to installing this is to place the product into the groove of the first piece at a 45 degree angle. Then tapping gently lower it to the floor until it snaps into place. I had to learn this by messing up 3 or 4 pieces before figuring it out (there are no instructions). You will need pull bars, plastic guides and plastic hammers to install this product (same as you use for any laminate flooring installation). Once I figured out the secret to installing it correctly - the installation went very quickly! This is for high traffic and light commercial use. I installed it into our home. Now after 3 months of heavy traffic (with a dog too) it still looks new. I HIGHLY recommend this product. btw ... I caught it on sale at Sam's saving about 40 cents a square foot.

We bought this to replace carpeting in our family room and dining room. The Barnwood flooring is much darker in person than it is in the product photo. Despite the color being darker than we’d hoped, we decided we like the coloring and would keep it. This was the first time we installed laminate flooring. The instructions were easy to follow and installation was simple. We shopped around for awhile before agreeing on this flooring. Our deciding factor was this brand features 24 hr water defense along with the attached pad. It truly was the best value for our money.

I have installed this in 4 bedrooms and 1000sqf living and kitchen area. The negative review are all most likely from installing wrong. Biggest thing to remember is to make sure the runs are fully clicked tight to the run before. I can't over stress this. Any gaps, even small, compound later on. I used a scrap piece on tap side and a regular hammer. YouTube has lots of videos explaining the how.

I really like the color of the flooring, but my husband had a hard time getting it to fit into each other. In my opinion the boards have a gap between them. He said they just didn't connect together as easily as he thought they would/should. Maybe if someone was more experienced doing this it would be different.

I will say that we love the look of this flooring. However it was horrible to install and not worth the money. The flimsy cardboard pieces that are supposed to connect the boards together either break off or simply just fall off, leaving that board totally useless. We probably have at least 10 boxes of boards that cannot be used. As of today our floor has been finished for 8 days and we have at least 3 seams that have separated. The only way to fix is to completely take apart the whole floor and start over. I only wish that we had the time, money and energy to redo it. For us it’s $1000 down the drain, a full refund would be nice.

Beautiful flooring

Wow! We bought this because we knew that the colors would complement our existing cabinets in the kitchen. Didn't realize just how much it would look like real wood flooring once it was installed. We now have done the livingroom and laundry room too.

I searched a lot before purchasing this and I couldn't be more pleased. The barnwood is beautiful. I have little pugs that shed and it is so easy to clean. Swiffer to sweep, I can mop to sanitize and it is waterproof for any accidents. Also I was going to have a pay a large fee to get a product from another store delivered but this was delivered for free and placed right inside my garage. I love it and it cost much less than other hardware store chains. I highly recommend.
