I did a lot of research before selecting our flooring. We installed the 12 mil in approximately half of our home. We have a crazy boxer, and several active kids. I absolutely love the flooring simulator feature (we did not have to install any software or give any personal information). Installed, the flooring looks pretty much exactly like it looked in the simulator. The order arrived two weeks before expected. We have had the flooring for approximately 4 months. It installed easily, it looks amazing, and it cleans easily. There are no scratches from the dog or the kids. Unfortunately, we have two extremely heavy pieces of furniture that left marks when we were moving them; however the marks are light, and they had cut all the way through our last flooring. We do not like the design of the trim pieces and are still trying to figure out how to secure again after they popped off of the fasteners. We were going from vinyl to carpet, so I'm sure the design is fine going between two floorings of more similar height. I would absolutely install this flooring again, and we recommend it all the time!
