Has anyone purchased and installed the laminate flooring that is sold at Costco? It it made in Belgium and sold in the US by "Gallery"? The price seems pretty good at $1.69 per foot and comes with a 25 year warranty. It is a glueless laminate, & uniclick. Thanks for any advise.

Don't know about the costco, but bought some at Sam's Wholesale Club for $1.20 a sf, its uniclic and laminate. 22.9 sf per carton. Kind of a light oak finish. They can't keep the stuff, It sells out every week it comes in. Don't know how long it will last, but at that price I'll test it out for them.

Yes I have recently installed the "golden oak" gallery flooring from Costco in my homes entryways. Seems like a quality product. Make sure and purchase the Gallery installation kit to install it to keep the Warranty (25 year residential) valid.

Also the moldings for this particular product are quite pricey and not offered at the Costco wharehouse Store. You can order them from the 1-800 number on the installation kits box. I found a really good match on the mouldings at Home Depot for a much better price. (I would go that route) Hope this helps.

How is the stuff from Sam's Club doing now? I am considering using it for a ~150 sq ft dining room. Install over concrete. I know you get what you pay for, but I don't want top of the line...

How did the install go?

Thanks!

The "Gallery" Product at Costco is produced by a world class manufacturer and a very much better product than the product at Sams. The down side is that neither retailer's personnel have the knowledge to properly and effectively support the product that they sell, don't sell the ancilary/accessory items that are NEEDED and deffinetly will be zero help in the installation help category. You get what you pay for! Pay less get less.
