What Garandman said!
It is loud, and an "unpleasant" loud when walked upon with certain shoes, dogs etc.
Also, if there is EVER a chance that water will get under it, don't do it. We bought it for entryway, kitchen, breakfast area and utility room (all are connected). The installers didn't properply tie down washer drain in the utility room. Did my bride notice that before leaving?
NO.
Fortunately, the installers insurance paid for the Kitchen, utility room and breakfast area to get....>TILE! We kept the laminate in the entryway.
Water spilled in the middle of the floor is nothing, but if it's like an overflowing toilet or something it can go under the laminate when it seeps under the baseboard...and then you're f***ked.
Just my opinion,,,,,I could be wrong
