Rated 4 out of 5 by ak100 from good value for money i fitted the flooring last month and looks good although at first glance it doesnt really look much different from laminate i would have wanted more of the real wood top layer effect.
The top layer though is actual hardwood.
However the end result is less than impressive when compared to a real wood floor.
Fitting was relatively easy but you definately need 2 people and a 3rd on standby to help out for a standard 4x4 room to elaborate you need to fit each.
