oval14 Adrienne Juskalian I am going to order a box tomorrow! Have you ever heard of https://www.bestlaminate.com/coretec-plus-enhanced-plank-manila-oak-50lvpe760-wpc-vinyl-flooring/ I was going to order from there, it looks a little cheaper then purchasing from the local shop....thoughts? oval14 - any pictures to share? I joined this Facebook group Luxury Vinyl Flooring Advice that has tons of pictures of the Manila Oak.....the floor looks Fabulous in every picture! When you get to site just search for "manila oak"....it really helped with my decision as did my discussion here with Adrienne Juskalian - thank you! I will share more after I get my box!

@greenhearted Z5a IL Thank you! It is a tough decision!! I like the floor a lot, but it’s not infallible! I don’t particularly like the grooves, if Flooret had a non-groove option I would have chosen that! Contrary to what people say, stuff does get caught and accumulate in the grooves!! The dark color does show stuff. I don’t know what to say about that. I just didn’t like kingswood, but I would have preferred a slightly more medium brown over brenwick. Other shades were too gray or too light for me. Overall I am quite happy with it. I like the large planks a lot. Workers coming in have been impressed with it...even thinking it’s real sometimes and wanting to know the brand. Truthfully, I’ve had to take care of my dad the last few years in another state and I haven’t been there living in it with day to day use. Only been there once in while for a few days. Kinda crazy. That’s why I disappeared off this thread for a while. So it’s a little bit hard for me to give a thorough review, but I hope this helps...Good luck!!

We did go with the canary oak, we have two pallets sitting our garage right now. We're taking down a wall next week so it won't be in until after that but I can follow-up with photos later. I did lay out a half dozen planks when we got it delivered and I'm happy with it. It's worth mentioning that I ordered from riverwoodsflooring.com and got a price $2/sq ft less than I could get from any local dealer. No problems on shipping.

We decided to go for it! I am in love with these coretec plus virtue oak luxury vinyl floors. Miriam and Jason from Seestedts in St. Paul MN were great to work with from start to finish.
