Here's what I wrote in the duplicate thread:
We had Milliken's carpet tiles in the MBR at our previous house (DH was adamant about carpeting the bedroom, but we had a couple of pets with somewhat unreliable digestive systems so there was NO way I was agreeing to w2w, we had just torn out almost 900sf of disgusting w2w) and I would not hesitate to put them in a living room. The lines between the tiles disappeared after a few weeks and it looked just like a nice frieze carpet. Were I to put carpet this house it would be Milliken again. They were idiotically easy to install so we didn't have to hire anyone, and price-wise they were on par with a midline w2w carpet and pad from somewhere like HD or Lowes (no labor) - we bought the top of the line version. I intentionally padded (sorry) the square-footage estimate so we had most of a case left over for replacing irreparably damaged tiles, although I would probably have just traded one from an unobtrusive location.
One of the things I liked best about them was the built-in moisture barrier - there was a nice thick, dense padding on the bottom, then a moisture barrier, then the carpet. No vile stuff soaking into the padding and the subfloor (although we sealed the subfloor with a thick odor-blocking sealant first anyway, since there was plenty of yuck soaked into the plywood). It made really horrible things very easy to clean up.
When I ordered Flor's samples they were little 4" squares. I was unimpressed - very thin and hard, and most of the samples I got were pretty scratchy. Lowes has some exclusive Flor patterns, IIRC. I do warn you, you will be on their mailing list FOREVER - their catalogs and postcards even followed us when we moved.
Additional notations - where it butted against the wood floor, we simply used a nice wood threshold stained to match the wood flooring to cover the raw edge of the carpet (it tucked under the threshold strip), just as you would do with ordinary wall-to-wall carpet. I also found the Milliken website's dealer locator to be completely useless - I ended up just going through the phone book calling carpet stores, but I ended up purchasing it online (I think it was fastfloors.com). At the time there was a distinct lack of interest in the product by dealers, which I thought was pretty stupid because they had a perfect target market in people with pets and messy kids! Home Depot and Lowes both carry a pretty small selection in stock but more colors/styles are available by special order.
Actually, the cool thing about pumpkin is that it's good for regularizing unhappy digestive systems in both directions - speeding up the slow and slowing down the fast, if ya get my drift. It's the same rationale as taking a routine fiber supplement, but it's a lot easier to get the average dog or cat to eat nice sweet pumpkin than to get them to take Metamucil. LOL Weird that you can't find canned pumpkin though. There's loads of it to be had here in NH. I have several cans in my pantry that I just purchased in the last couple of weeks - we really like pumpkin custard (sort of like pumpkin pie without the crust, it can end up being a pretty nutritious dessert!) and DH has been bugging me for pumpkin cranberry nut bread. Pumpkin ain't just for the winter holidays, we eat it year 'round!
