My son remodeled my bedroom by gutting everything, the plaster walls and ceiling, woodwork and old beat up hardwood floors. Foam insulated the exterior walls and ceiling, installed plasterboard, painted the ceiling and walls and installed the Select Surfaces Caramel Flooring, finished up with the trim molding kit. He also used pre-fab. baseboards and door framing, which totally matched the color of the flooring. This is wonderful flooring, soft to bare feet, blends with the different woods, easy to care for. This remodeling process was a long time getting done because of his work hours. The floor has been down for a year now, no problems. I just got a new bedroom set and an adjustable bed frame and memory foam mattress, and just moved into my new room last week. I feel like I'm in a new house, although this house was built in 1949. I have started stockpiling this flooring for the living room, hallway and 2nd bedroom. Thank you for selling such a wonderful product. All of the other colors are really nice too, but I decided to stay on the lighter side because my house is older and smaller than the newer ones.

I started laying this flooring a week ago. Bought it over the course of a few months. 1 box here, 1 box there. Stored it flat on the floor of my basement to acclimate. I'm 7 boxes into the install and I've found 15 boards that aren't warped. Awful product. Too bad it's cut now or I'd return the entire lot.

I laid this flooring in a 20X20 foot room. Looks good but it tends to show traffic and dust more than I like. The floor is well engineered but that is sometimes the problem. The tolerances are so close that if there are any aberrations in the floor, such as unevenness between boards in the sub-floor or slight rises then fitting the planks together is quite difficult. It is not the simple slide and click as shown on installation videos. You can muscle the boards together but it takes two people to do so. If you want to remove a board you need to pull the entire line since you can lift the boards but you cannot slide them apart until all the boards are free. You will definitely need a laminate tapping block in order to set the boards together else the boards will be slightly off and the problem will grow as you keep adding lines. You will also need a table saw for ripping and a router or circle saw to cut around round parts, such as 4 inch pipes holding up the ceiling. A chop saw (miter saw) is also very helpful.

This is great flooring and easy to install

After 8 months it looks awful, at the seams it looks like it is peeling

I've installed over 2,000 sq ft of this flooring looks great, easy to clean and shows very little dust or traffic trail.

This leftover piece was used on the ground outside to put firewood for over a year. Rain and wet ground did not hurt it.

We are thrilled with this flooring. The grain, thickness, and color are absolutely stunning. Easy to install.

From my experience, I don't expect any of these compressed cardboard/fiberboard locking materials to be consistently reliable. Even some of the marketing photos of the product seem to display inconsistent gaps.

This flooring looks beautiful, but hard to put down.
