I was very impressed with the texture and how it matches the grain. The locking system is also very impressive as it seems to be very secure but easy to click into place. I do wish the locking system would allow for the end of the planks to be locked into the side of the planks. I do know that the engineering of the end of the planks are made differently so they slide into locking position better but it would still be nice if it could do the same thing to the side of the plank. Two things I wish were offered, 1. I wish I could pay a little bit more for the base model and get the base model a little wider example paying $3 a square foot instead of $2.75 for a 20mil wear layer plank that is 9" wide. 2. I wish that you would carry a stone looking plank. Example, the Carrera marble plank with a 20 mil or 40 mil wear that has a nice texture and is slip resistant. This is becoming very popular especially for bathrooms, kitchens and entryways. All in all the quality and price is worth buying online rather than in a store.
