Comment:
The good thing about the wood is it's unnoticeable dents and scratches. The biggest dislike is in the high traffic areas where smudge prints from shoes/bare feet are on the floor. I have had my hardwood floors (glued down) now over 2yrs and you have to mop smudges daily. Looks like engineered wood, no chipping yet, just popping in loose areas. And no water damage yet- melted ice on floor sometime due to kids... but no problems.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
Dents so easily that when a penny fell out of my daughters pocket when she was turning them right side out it dented the floor. We were gone for about an hour, at some point the cat knocked over a glass of water. When we got home one of the planks was rippled from the water. This was the the most expensive [$] mistake I have ever made. We now joke when anything hits the floor (remote control, silver ware, cell phone ect.) OPPS ANOTHER DENT. If I don't I would CRY!!!!!!!
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Pros
Nothing comes to mind
Cons
Dents Easily
Looks artificial
Shows simple water drips
Best Uses
Comment:
We have this running through our entire house and it shows every hair and lint. I'm constantly dry mopping it. It is already grooved and dented from simple everyday use, no pets, no small children, and there's no fix for damages like with real hardwood which can be sanded and refinished.
How long have you owned it:
One-to-three months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
