After the first of the year we are thinking about having some of the Pergo
Max from Lowes installed in a living room that is about 280 sqft.

Anything good or bad about this brand or other recommendations around the
same price of about $ 2.50 per sq.ft..

This is in a small town so not a lot of choices in the flooring to choose
from. I did have some flooringinstalled a few years back by a local
flooring company and was ot very impressed with the installers.

On the same thing, what would be a good mat or material to put over the
flooring for a computer chair with rollers for wheels. I think after a
short while the wheels would cut through the wood.
