I have never in my life hated a house product more than this shit - and I grew up in the '70s surrounded by the fake wood paneling and the nasty shag carpets. I don't even understand what that flooring is trying to emulate. No real wood is light gray and comes in 6" x 3' planks.
I've been renovating a house since last year that has that shit in the living room and I've intentionally left it uncovered the whole time in the hopes of fucking it up so bad that I'm forced to replace it, but unfortunately it is extremely durable.
This one particularly hurt. The house was listed at 350 a couple months ago, the price was reduced 10k, then went off the market, then yesterday was relisted at like 330 and claims "brand new flooring in 3 rooms". Someone consciously chose this to be installed, thinking it would help sell their already overpriced house.
Like, the salesperson needs to say "this flooring is popular among houses that stay listed for over 3 months and have their prices reduced around 25k"
Yeah, idk why people think "gray, wood-grain" looks good, either go with wood colored laminate (looks great in my sister's) or something like tile. This floor just calls attention to itself way too much ("look at me, I'm cheap laminate!"), and it doesn't look good enough for that.
