Pergo Elegant Expressions Laminate Flooring Variations

Comment: I bought 2 cartons of this to make a chairmat for my wife's home office. The stuff looks great and is durable and I placed it right over the carpet, a really easy install. I ended up wanting to do half of the entire room rather than just under her desk and filing cabinet because it didn't look complete. I looked at my trusty Amazon.com again, and it went from $20 a carton to $51 within a few days. I thought I was looking at the wrong item. I looked at other websites and because other websites charge for shipping, Amazon.com still ended up being the cheapest. So if you see it for a low price again, GRAB IT... I'm not sure why it went up so quickly!! And the shipping was just ok. In each of the cartons, there was 1 damaged plank that I "hid" under the filing cabinet...but there really should have been better cushioned packaging for something like this. It came in the manufacturer's box with no shipping cushion whatsoever and the cardboard box was torn, exposing the planks. There was also tape, either from the shipping company or Amazon, that was stuck to the plank. So, if you plan on ordering this in a permanent room that is going to get alot of visiblity (not for something temporary like a chairmat) then I'd recommend going to home depot or lowes so that you can carefully inspect these and safely get these back home. The 4 stars are because the shipping is free (with prime) while other websites charged over $120,the price ($20) was awesome,and the product itself is really, really nice. Minus a star because packaging for shipment needs improvement and the price more than doubled in a few days.
