Just installed 500 sqft of this laminate flooring 2 days ago. I can tell you without question it is easy to work wih it. Definitely a do it yourself product. I highly recommend buying a tapping block (two if two of you are working together). As far as looks it really is stunning, very classy looking. Many say you need to put a unlayment under it when though it has one. The product doesn't call for it and this was on an above grade wood subfloor. So I decided to take the chance and not use one. The floor is rock solid and quiet as a mouse wih out it. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of how new this product is. It feels like it will be bullet proof but I can't give it te durability thumbs up until I've had it for a while. Oh and on a side note out of 37 boxes there were 7 pieces with minor damage I was still able to use at the beginning or end of a run as I cold cut the damage out.
