Customer Reviews for Home Decorators Collection High Gloss Perry Hickory 8 mm Thick x 5 in. Wide x 47-3/4 in. Length Laminate Flooring (13.26 sq. ft. / case)

little water on flooring it soaks in and swells hard to see in picture but easy to notice

This is easy to install, but by extra because the quality on some of the planks are way below standard. Found more than a full box of planks that had glue and also deep scratches that look like came from a machine. I just installed it and I don't know how well it's going to hold up. Looks like can scratch very easily.

Easy to install and looks great!!

Was some what disappointed as one box had several planks damaged on the ends and another box had what I call manufacturing marks and residue on them. Was able to use them in on small cut sections. However, I am pleased with the results. I would suggest a more focus on quality control.

Excellent product. Easy to install, but very hard on saw blades.

I have been install a lot of laminate flooring in my house over the past year. I have purchased several different brands. I bought this high gloss keller cherry for my dining room. Every other laminate flooring I bought was wider planks usually 8" wide. I like the narrower width of this flooring. I think it is easier to install especially when you need to place this under existing baseboard heat fixtures. I also like that there is padding glued to the back of the planks. The click and lock is easy to assemble. It locks in place easily even when you need to have a piece flat and tap it into the locking groove. A lot of times I will use a scrap piece to to use as a tap block. For this installation I bought a kit with spacers, a plastic tap block & a metal tap bar. I also purchased the matching transition strips. This flooring is easy to cut. I used a circular saw, a band saw, a vibrating multi tool and a radial arm saw. the circular saw caused some chipping of the finish, which I expected. I used some painters tape to help with that. I only used the circular saw because I misplaced my scroll saw and was not able to find it. I was a little skeptical with the high gloss finish, but it really looks nice. I am positive the finish will hold up well as all the other laminate has held up well. Even the laminate I installed 15 years ago.

Excelente floor easy and nice, I think that the best floor

Beautiful finish, easy installation

Classic looking. Beautiful flooring

This flooring has a nice appearence at first and is easy to install. But, it's all downhill after that. We installed this flooring throughout our entire house and as soon as we finished it seemed we started having problems. Anywhere there has been moisture for and more then ten seconds the finish will bubble up and is ruined. We are extremely disappointed with this product.

Love the high gloss

It looks so beautiful in my new study!

I had this product installed in my living room, dining room and hallway, around three years ago and it cleans up very easy. I decided to have my three bedrooms done, so I had it done in the same product and my floors look beautiful.

Beautiful once laid dwn. Laying this floor is not easy as instructions make out. The grooves that lock damage easily. Takes practice to learn how not to damge them, after which plank is only useful for cuts. Order at least 1 extra case over and above your measurements.

I was worried at first that the color wood be to dark and "woody", but it turned out much better than I expected, especially with my furniture. I replaced all the carpet with this laminate and had Home Depot install it.

I am in love with this flooring. It is exactly like the pics on the web site but even more beautiful. We installed in our old log cabin that is somewhat dark. The gloss finish reflects light and is so easy to clean. I am so happy with this.

We covered my old hardwood floor that was in bad shape. This is beautiful and transformed the room! Want to do my hall next....just beautiful!

I am loving it. It was installed in one day. The glossy color and thickness make this product strong and durable. It is very easy to clean because it repels dirt.

Easy to use, cutting was smooth, and the look is fantastic.

Pros: Looks great. Highly durable. Scratch resistant. Very easy to install. Installs quickly and easily. Number of damaged boards per case is lower than industry average. Cons: Although the long sides of each board click-lock together and stay tightly bound together, the ends tend to pull away from each other and create gaps that grow larger with use. Absolutely ZERO fluid resistance. I installed this product on my entire first floor in July 2018. Easy install. Looks great. The laminate wood-grain patterns are highly varied to produce a more realistic appearance. We have constant dog traffic on the floor with no scratching anywhere. Great value vs. wood flooring, there. Laminate flooring tends to produce a hollow or "plastic" sound when walking on it with hard-sole shoes. But most people do not notice it. There is also a bounciness in the flooring due to the foam sound barrier attached to the underside of each piece. But the foam flattens in a short period and the "bounce" disappears. However, the ends of the boards are separating in more than a few places. Looks terrible. The manufacturer instructions indicate no glue or nailing is needed. In fact, the manufacturer suggests installing the flooring as a "floating floor" to accommodate for expansion in humid environments Consult a flooring professional for best installation practices to keep boards secure end-to-end prior to purchase. Second, this flooring does not resist fluids of any kind. Heed the manufacturer's warning when they advise not to install in kitchens, laundry rooms or bathrooms. Any fluid left standing on the floor for 5 minutes(I timed the process) will seep between the board edges and directly into the pressed wood fiber base, causing the edges to bloat permanently. Pet urine, beer, or any other fluid that creates a detestable odor when time passes, will not equate to a pleasant environment if allowed to sit on the flooring surface and seep in. So, if you can keep the ends of the boards properly secured so they do not separate and your household will never experience pets, children, clumsy people or plumbing leaks, this flooring is a great value.

This is a product purchase worth buying. I really loved the flooring

Beautiful flooring, relatively easy to install on our own and comes with a 50 year warranty!

We used this product in our bathroom, on the walls and ceiling. It looks great and cleans easy! We are planing on using it throughout the rest of the house, on the floors.

This floor is a pain to install, and poor quality. My dogs made a mess on it last night we caught it first thing this morning and the floor is already warping!!! This floor has been in for maybe a week and a half. I am Devastated.

Pros: This product has retained the advertised amount of polish for at least the last month since it was installed. It offers a traditional oak texture. Underlayment is attached to the base. Cons: It can be hard to discern in pictures, but the bezels and gaps between each panel are thicker than expected, at about 1mm. It's not everyday that I'm reminded of this characteristic, but it definitely pops up, especially when I hear it "catch" each floorboard when moving furniture. Also the design as a whole tints slightly more "orange" than I expected. View a completed display in store firsthand.

fairly easy once you get the hang of it, be sure to clean off the little corner bits that may have been damaged in shipping to insure that the panels fit together sungly

Beautiful! Used it on the walls and ceiling

I loved it!. The color is great and very resistant material, definitely high recommended.

Great product! Thanks Home depot!

Do not buy this is you live any a high humidity area. It expands and warps and will look like total crap, especially at the ends, next to the walls. There were also some pieces that were so badly warped in the middle of the floor that when I tried to get more, they changed the color even though it still has the same sku#, color name and item number. I am now having to have it all ripped out and installing new flooring.
