Hey! I'm about to purchase some flooring, but have a hard time finding reviews for the Shaw Floor product I'm looking into. It's the Estate Hickory line, in the Ginger or Warm Sunset color. I'm trying to choose between these because they're GreenGuard Gold certified, the highest indoor air quality standard to date. I think the wear layer on these is about 1.8mm, so not the very best, but we're a younger couple doing a remodel and need 900 sq. ft. Needless to say, we want something durable but we can't break the bank for this project. Does anyone have this installed in their home, who would like to share your review and/or pictures? Thank you in advance!

Hi Lauren, Often home depot has collections that have been relabeled for sale only at home depot. To cross over what the real manufacturer's name is may be difficult. We run into this with carpet and hard surface often with people comparing us and home depot. Not sure on this particular style but that is my best guess as to why you are not seeing reviews and product information elsewhere. Good luck!

The answer is yes to Somerset in so far as "a good/reputable company." They've maintained operations for decades in Kentucky. Wood floors in kitchens regardless of the manufacturer will perform well. However, I am doubtful with the mainline fiber board core stuff that some use. "Surely ALL of the flooring manufacturers and their products can't be so terrible?" Step back and forget about it for a few days. Bad reviews come from bad customer experiences, lousy installer, or elevated expectations and most have nill to do with the manufacturer.

@James Cronk, thanks for the reply, yeah, I heard Hallmark from few places, but we end up choosing Urban Floor Villa Caprisi Modena. It comes with a thick surface layer and wide planks, my wife loves it. But we haven't started the installation yet.
