We installed it in a short hallway a few years ago, I was really happy with the installation, it went in easily and had the underlay included. The flooring was a nice thickness and was soft and quiet underfoot - not too shiny or clicky. It looked nice and didn't seem to show dust and dirt, footprints, etc. like our other laminate, but it was in a windowless hall. When light came in from adjoining bedrooms it didn't look filthy.
The only negative, and the reason I did not use it for the rest of the house was that once it was installed it looked like it was kind of striped, not in the colors or the finish but that the laminate itself had wide stripes slightly indented - a sort of corrugated look. Like if you ran your hand over it, there would be three or four thick 'stripes' lengthwise per piece, and they were perfectly regular, not a part of the wood-look design. That may have been just the type we ordered but check it out. It bothered me enough not do do any full rooms with it, but otherwise I think it was a good product.
