We have laminate flooring in 2 or the kids bedrooms and in our kitchen. Has been in the kids rooms for 5 years with no problems. Someday we want to remodel and put tile in the kitchen but the old floor to so disgusting I couldn't stand it. Bought the laminate that was on special, very cheap, at home depot. Put the roll out foam underlay under it and we love it. Easy to clean and looks so much better then the on linoleum.
