Hi All,
Does anyone have any experience with the laminate flooring that Lumber
Liquidators carries? I'm thinking about the line that runs for
$1.69/sqft ("Nirvana"). I've done a bit of googling on it and can't
seem to find out much about the company or whether or not the flooring
is any good or not. Someone did suggest that it was actually made by
Bellawood but I haven't been able to find anything to corroborate that.

Any thoughts? I know a lot of you probably don't like laminate
flooring, but in our case I really think it's our most realistic
option.

I installed about 1600 sf of Armstrong Swiftlock Springfield Maple and we
like it alot.
Don't install it in wet areas, kitchens, bathroom or laundry rooms.
Avoid the stuff that has grooves between the panels as they are big time
dirt collectors.
Use the better grade of underlayment.
Buy a couple extra boxes of the planks, and a roll of the underlayment for
future repairs.
Check the prices on the T-strips and other special items cause they stick
you deep on those things.
