So far, so good. Out of the 1500 square feet we've installed so far, there were only 2 bad boards. One had a pink hue, and another had a weird look to the finish. The boards for the other 1496 sq feet were great. The installation click mechanisms have held up well. I've used the same "bridge" piece for joining boards and the click mechanism is still very well intact. It's pretty easy to install, just takes a while. We've had no scratches over the first month. This is reasonably priced flooring and seems to be of good quality. I would probably give a 4.5 if I could, but I don't know how this is going to wear with time so I'm sticking with 4, as I reserve 5 for the best of the best.
