I like lumber liquidators, Hard to beat their prices and the quality is pretty good --207.190.xxx.xxx

use the laminate, but buy one grade above the cheapest...already learned that lesson. --166.68.xxx.xxx

I agree with above rcn .... spend a little more now for a better grade ( quality ) A quick fix is just that and in a rental seems to get more abuse then your own home. I have already taken out laminate that just didn't hold up - the press wood partical~ cardboard ( whatever it is ) back vs. real wood back - go with the better. :) --62.20.xx.xx

Laminate is great, but watch it in ANY area that could get wet. I put it in a hallway (avoiding the obvious hazards of kitchen & bath). But I forgot the water heater and furnace was on the other side of the hall's wall. Condensate pump malfunctioned and water overflowed and soaked through the wall into the hallway. Laminate got wet and warped in that spot. Fortunately I had bought enough extra to replace this section. But I will think twice where I put it in a rental. --209.173.xxx.xxx

So it isn't a good Idea for the kitchen? Just put my tile or vinyl in kitchen. definelty no laminate in bath? --64.12.xxx.xxx

i put ceramic in the bath when i can...there are some nice peel n sticks on the market now for kitchens and hi traffic areas...i like the laminate and peel n sticks for the same reason some like commercial carpet, wears well and it's an easy rip and re-do... --166.68.xxx.xxx
