I did Pergo in the spare bedroom and hallway - horrible stuff - ya drop something just right and it chips and heaven forbid if you get water on it and don't clean it up immediately - it will swell.
Not to mention it was 79.98 a box plus the moisture barrier stuff. For Dans room, I went to Costco (we install ourselves here) and for 25.99 a box, did his room - 25 year warranty, scratch proof and burn proof. I liked it so much I pulled up the pergo in the hall way, and put it down, and I did my living room as well. Needless to say with three dogs running (or sliding -depending on how fast they were intending to go) and two kids running cars, bikes, trucks, dragging stuff around - it has held up wonderfully -have not seen a chip yet.
And the best part is all you need is a swifter jet to clean it -
I would never have carpets again..
