I installed the product and has been in place for 2 weeks. Installation went well once I figured out how to get started. The instructions are in my opinion less than adequate and are geared to the more experienced installer. With careful planning I was left with little waste except for the panels damaged during shipping. Those were set aside till the end and used to finish things off, when I was able to cut the damaged portions and use the remaining good pieces. The snap lock, doesn't really snap so you have to pay careful attention to make sure the panels are fitted tightly. Product cuts very nice with a middle of the road finishing blade. Some rip cuts required which I was able to overcome using a sliding miter saw and finish with the circular saw. Does produce a lot of dust during cutting. Overall, the project turned out very nice and am happy with the purchase.
Pros: Sturdy, Comfortable, Looks Great, Effective
Cons: instructions are lacking
Yes, I recommend this product.

I sent my family away for a few days while I rebuilt our bathroom. We got a new toilet, sink, fixtures, lights, fan and a cork floor by home legend. I read as many reviews of the cork flooring as I could before starting and was a little disappointed that the vendor didn't have any installation videos online to give me a better understanding of what I was getting into. I have a 35 sq.ft. rectangular shaped bathroom and two boxes was more than enough. The whole job took about 6+ hours. I spent the most time cutting the cork to fit our odd shaped built-in tub and floor vent. As I read in a few comments, Home Legend sells a tool for helping snap in wall and corner pieces. At 10pm on a Sunday night I had no such luxury so I had to make my own tool. I used a 2x4 2ft long, used a few heavy screws to attached a block of wood to one end. This is the end where I would hammer. on the opposite end of the 2x4 I had a piece of metal bent at 90 degrees. Think of the metal as your finger and bend the tip segment 90 degrees, this lip is what you put between the wall and the cork floor. The longer part of your finger is attached to the 2x4 on the opposite side and end from the block you screwed in. After making this tool, I finished the remaining 80% of my floor in about 2 hours. I also bought a new circular saw blade so my cork cuts were clean. For the toilet hole, I used the cardboard from the shipping box to make a template then copied that to a cork sheet to cut. I still have a few sheets of cork for any future repairs.
Yes, I recommend this product.

The directions are illustrated small and difficult to make out. Don't start until you have the floor section pull tool described in the directions. Your floor will go down right the first time and look great. Home Depot needs to stock this tool.

I read the review about inconsistent color, so we had our installer mix boxes. The results are beautiful! This flooring is attractive, durable, and installed in less than a day. It has endured dog accidents, children, construction workers, paint spills, and still looks new. I cannot say enough good things about this floor. Buy this cork!
Yes, I recommend this product.

We used the cork flooring while remodeling a 1/2 bath. The installation was easy and the result looks great. A couple of pieces had dinged edges from shipping, but I was easily able to work around this. The 1/4 round molding was a different story (see my review of that). The floor itself is nice and we're considering it for other rooms.
Pros: High Quality of Material, Looks Like Wood, Easy to Install, Looks Great, Comfortable
Yes, I recommend this product.

I got this cork flooring for my bathroom and i love it. I am an allergy sufferer and also have 2 boys so this floor was a great buy for us. I want to eventually do cork through my entire house. My next project is in the kitchen. Everyone who sees the floor says they want it and though it is a little more expensive then other flooring it is well worth it in the long run.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Product was great. I mixed up the boxes and the flooring looks great. I had to cut every piece b/c of the room I was installing the floor into, but it was easy to cut and went in as advertised.
Good stuff.
Yes, I recommend this product.

The floor looks great and it was fairly easy to put together. Using the pull bar did damage some of the planks, so you need to watch out for that...

The best choice for a kitchen floor...easy underfoot....great look....doesn't show dirt....easy to maintain with a steam mop and very economical. What more could you want?
Everyone is amazed when I tell them the floor is cork. The wide planks are superior to the narrow planked floors. And I found the colors to be consistent throughout the several cartons.
Yes, I recommend this product.

The color density is not consistent--some panels are slightly, but noticeably darker than others. Unfortunately, I didn't discover this until in the process of having the floor laid. If you're not fussy about color consistency, this product will work for you. You gets what you pays for.
No, I do not recommend this product.
