"Horrible Product"
Had water glass tip spilling water onto the floor. It was very well cleaned up and dried within 15 mins and the next morning the seams had swelled. This has now happened a second time in 4 years and will now have it tore up and removed... and a different product installed.
Very disappointed to say the least!

"EasyLock II by Kronotex laminate wood floor - thumbs up!"
To replace the scuzzy carpet that came with my living room, I got EasyLock II by Kronotex laminate wood flooring, which I bought at Lowe's. After reading about it and hearing about how easy it was to put together, I decided it was the right floor for me.
Before I bought it, I got a few samples of different colors to figure out which color best suited my furniture. I decided on Williamsburg Cherry (it is not really a cherry color, more of a rich red oak). I even soaked the sample piece of laminate in a bowl of water to see how long it would take before it was ruined. It actually was able to be submersed for several hours before it swelled up! I have a large aquarium so it was important to me that a little water spill
would not immediately ruin the floor.
My handy friend was able to do it in a day using his cordless Jigsaw and a Shop Vac (this is very important to clean up the sawdust, there will be a lot of it). I love everything about this floor. It is beautiful and easy to clean - use a sponge mop with Murphy's Oil Soap for best results.
The ONE complaint I have is that the quarter round that they sell for this wood flooring is VERY expensive and is made of really crappy materials. It is just sawdust particles with a veneer of wood that matches perfectly the color of the laminate. For the convenience of the color matching, you pay almost $7 per piece...this is WAY MORE than the generic colors which run about $3-4. Also, the generic colored quarter round is made with foam, which is much less likely to swell up from exposure to water (a big plus for me).
I have never had to repair or replace any part of this flooring, even when I had a minor flood due to an aquarium leak. I found it in time and used a Shop Vac to clean it up - no problems at all. The part of the floor that was in the spot of water may have turned up ever so slightly at the edges, but that's it. I can't tell from looking at it, it just feels like it when you run your hand over it.
I would definitely recommend this brand to anyone. I have had it for 3 years now with no problems at all. Don't go with the super cheap Darlington Oak, not only is the color a little ugly and fake looking, it is made of inferior material. My friend has this wood in her formal dining room and it breaks very easily, she dropped a heavy China dish on it and chipped it (the wood that is). I have dropped all sorts of things, including a hammer from the ceiling, and it has never hurt it. There is only a little scratch where the hammer fell. That's it!
