it'd be going in a basement, and looks quite close to what "wood" laminate does, at a lesser price, and what appears to be a much easier and quicker process to install. also, i've got 2 cats, one that has decided to start pissing on the carpet i have down here. i cut out one of two sections he was doing it and he stopped on that one, so im hoping if i do this, if he does it again, it'll be easier to clean up and then get rid of him. if he stops, it'll look better than the shitty carpet that was in the house when i bought it. ive always hated it, this just sped up my decision to replace the floor
