Select Surfaces Laminate Flooring, Driftwood (6 Planks, 12.50 sq. ft.)

We were looking at a very similar appearing hardwood laminate that was literally 4x the cost. We had looked at many different laminate brands and I truly didn't expect to wind up at Sam's Club buying our flooring, but I absolutely do not regret the purchase. Installing it is pretty straight forward, the only thing I did different than what the vendor says is that I used a small scrap piece to make a tapping block. I'd click that piece in and tap the new piece in just a bit instead of trying to push them together and press the piece flat. I also tapped across the joint and at a couple spots along each board to ensure the seam was snug. It isn't adding much time to the process, but everything is lining up really well as I am trying to line things up to make this all flow through the lower level of the house without having any breaks between rooms or the use of transition strips. I'll see what the longevity is, that is probably my only concern never having put down a laminate of this nature. The wood laminate had a relatively thick wear layer and scratches would have likely been easy to deal with. With dogs and family members that enjoy sliding furniture around, I am crossing my fingers that we don't accidentally wind up scarring this. I'm not finished yet, but we have had friends come over that are impressed with the look too and are now looking at similar options from this manufacturer.
