For those of you that have installed this yourself, is it difficult? Also, was there a lot of cutting involved? I don't know a lot about it, other than looks. Is it durable? Sorry, lots of questions. LOL TIA

I have always used the laminate tile. I know that a lot of people do not like them, but it is the easiest way to lay a floor.
While managing the apartment building I redid 6 kitchen floors & 8 bathroom floors all with tile. As long as you prepare the floor right it will go smoothly.

We (well, my husband) just installed it a few months ago and he did our whole house by himself. Yes, there is cutting involved when you get to the edges of the floor. If you and/or DH are handy around the house you can easily do it yourself.
I find it to be very durable and easy to clean. We have 2 cats a big dog and 2 children and the floor looks wonderful!

I saw laminate & read linoleum.
My sister & BIL put laminate in their family & dining room in a weekend.

We put wood laminate in our entry and kitchen. It wasn't hard and only took one day for the kitchen and about 1/2 a day for the entry. We bought ours at Sam's Club--GREAT price! I don't know if they still have it. Yes, there was some cutting involved, but if you measure carefully it's not too hard. It's been down for about 6 months or so and it's been very durable. We're really glad we did it. We covered linoleum (a really light color) and it's really warmed the kitchen up.

Thanks everyone! We are in the process of peeling off wallpaper in my son's new room. DH was thinking about going ahead and doing the laminate before we paint. I think we're going to go ahead and do the baby's room also. The rest of the rooms we will do over the course of the next few months. Thanks again!

I think you will love it! I do, and as others said it isn't difficult to do at all. I find I'm sweeping often but that's o.k. I would rather do that than have it hide in my carpet.
