We (or should I say DH) put the vinyl plank flooring from Home Depot - Allure - in our dining room. They have 2 grades - 10 yr warranty and lifetime warranty. We did the lifetime. The only issue he had was needing to cut a hole to go around the pipe for our hot water baseboard heating in that room. Since we have 'big boy toys' on the property, he eventually got sometime to punch the correct size hole. He did an excellent job. No glue...it's a floating floor system. My understanding is that they did have some issues with the product when it was initially released but those have been resolved. He actually did the entire room in only a few hours. Cutting to length where necessary was not nearly as problematic as trying to punch the hole. It, apparently, does take a couple of minutes to get used to how it correctly fits together but once you get the hang of that it goes very quickly. We are planning to put the same flooring in our bedroom as well, just different color. The overall job will look much better if you take off the existing baseboard trim, put down the flooring and then replace the trim. We did the dark walnut with a somewhat 'distressed' look. You really have to look closely and feel it to think it's not wood.
