My husband and I are absolutely blown away with these floors! Was nervous after reading other reviews about the poor quality but we had absolutely no issues. We have an older home with some settling, so we were nervous about the uneven floor but these floated right over all of it! We had never put down laminate flooring before but it was a breeze, I really think anyone can do it. Buying an installation kit for around $20 will greatly help you as well.
We put down some 1/4" plywood to help with the uneven floor first, then put down underlayment, and then the flooring. Overall, we spent less on all of those combined than we would have on more expensive (even moderate priced) flooring alone.
We've only had the floors in for a little while and we've tried to be careful because again, for the price we were nervous about the quality. But so far we've dropped a few things on the floor, our dog has had an "accident" and runs around and slides on the floor like crazy, had a house party with plenty of spills, we've moved and drug ladders and furniture across the floor, and have a door that we are replacing that has scraped across the floor a few times and we have not seen any bubbling, scratches, or other cosmetic damage. I really think this floor will last us.
We've gotten so many compliments, the floor looks so nice, and people are shocked when we tell them how much we spent. It really is a great buy.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I can't speak to the longevity of this flooring since I just put it down but you can't beat the value if it gets you several years of use.
I used another, more expensive brand of laminate before and the higher dollar stuff definitely went together better...IE: didn't have to use tapping block to installl. This floor, however, did take a little bit (not much) of work to get the pieces aligned and fitted together properly. Considering the price, I expected the installation to be much tougher but it wasn't bad at all.
I found the most helpful thing after my first three rows of trial and error was to begin tapping the short ends together until they meet. Then, using your foot, put just a little bit of pressure on the joint of the two boards to get the grooves to line up, and go back to finish up your tapping. Hopefully, that will help someone along the way.
Very satisfied with the floor and the value!
Pros: Looks Great
Yes, I recommend this product.

I went online and read the reviews for this floor. We were wondering why it was so cheap. The reviews were very good so we decided to go ahead and try it.
We LOVE it. It looks just as nice as an expensive floor. It is durable and my husband said it was easy to install.
Also, easy to clean.
I would highly recommend this floor to others :)

We just finished installing the Benson Oak laminate in the living room, dining area, kitchen and hallway. It looks fabulous! We were originally planning to use a much more expensive product, but this laminate looked and felt so good despite its 'entry level' price that we decided to try it. This was our first time installing laminate, and we found it very easy and precise to work with. Seams are almost indetectable. Cutting was easy with a hobby-level table saw or hand-held jigsaw, both with all-purpose blades - no chipping whatsoever. I was amazed at the quality control; we used 18 boxes, and not one board was damaged in any way. And unlike many flooring products, it's made in USA - keeping jobs at home.
Yes, I recommend this product.

My husband and I bought this flooring for a house we just bought and had to gut.. We specifically bought this due to the very low price. All in all, it's not too bad. It's obviously cheap and the laminate layer is thin, but we haven't had any problems with the installation... it hold up really well to cutting and the pieces are fitting together nicely. I would recommend this if you are looking for something that you don't plan on having forever. We are using it as an "in the mean time" floor (until we can afford cork) :)
Yes, I recommend this product.

Since this was my first installation, I asked a neighbor with experience to assist me. Once we got started, I found the process easy and the product was easy to install. I do recommend purchasing the laminate flooring installation kit. I was using a 2x4 piece to tap the flooring into place and had to take out a couple of pieces I damaged. My friend had the proper tools and he had no problems installing the product without damaging the edges. Our family loves our new floor and we will be installing more of the same flooring in two more rooms.

At first the floor went down easily and locked together smooth. About 4/5ths of the way done, I noticed boards would not line up and lock in. I noticed a difference in the packages- the boxes that said "Benson Oak Glueless Laminate Flooring" on the sides had boards that were not cut straight-I even took two loose boards and could not get them to lock with each other, so I know it wasn't the floor itself. The boxes labeled only as "Glueless Laminate Flooring" and did not include Benson Oak On the sides went down like a dream. I was able to finish the floor, and it does look good, fortunately. Knowing this, all you need is to check the boxes to know which is good.
Yes, I recommend this product.

We put this flooring in the living room and kitchen. It turned out wonderful. All the boards were in good condition right out the box. The color really brightens up the room and is very easy to clean. I used a steam mop and it just glided right across my floors with no problems. My boyfriend installed these without any issues and used the laminate floor saw by Ryobi which made it breeze to cut. I am totally satisfied with this floor and would definitely recommend this to anyone.

I purchased this floor for my entire 3200 square foot first floor. I installed it myself without any prior floor laying experience. I have to tell you, it looks top notch. It really compliments my home. I never thought something so cheap in price would make my home look so much more upscale. My wealthy neighbors wife came over and told her husband that their floors where bad in comparison ( they have marble and mahogany floors). I would definitely recommend this to anyone. But buy a few extra boxes because if you're like me, you'll screw some up.

I bought this laminate because it was cheap and thought it was a great value. We let the laminate flooring set for a week at room temperature before installation. We bought the best underlayment sold at home depot (the one with the foam balls in between two plastic sheets). The install looked simple. After about one month after moving everything in, we noticed small raises in the flooring. This happened especially outside the bathrooms of the house. The raises in the flooring got bigger and bigger until the boards started warping. We had always made sure that we always cleaned up any water spills, drops etc on the floor and this still happened. When they did the install, I made sure that they kept 1/4 inch from each side of the wall. The humidity from the bathrooms after showers caused the rise. If you buy this product, just be careful and compensate for high humidity outside the bathrooms.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I purchased approx 300 square feet for 2 kids bedrooms and it turned out great. The boards lock in tight and look good. I was a little nervous about the quality based on the price but you cant beat it. I have other laminate in the house that cost 2 to 3x as much and you cant tell the difference. Only thing I would recommend is to be gentle on tapping boards together, use the proper tools and use a blade designed for cutting laminate and it should turn out great.
