We found the color we absolutely love. It's the Tarkett Solutions line in Aged Pecan color. Has anyone had any experience with Tarkett laminates? The owner of our local flooring store that we've been using for years just revamped her entire laminate section and did away with most of her laminates, but kept a few lines that she feels are tried and true. She said she's never had any complaints with Tarkett and that it's a great floor. It's only rated an AC-3 though. What does that rating mean exactly? I'd really appreciate any input before we purchase anything.

Thanks!

This url below will help explain AC ratings.

AC3 is more than adequate, the higher ratings of AC4 & AC5 are even more resistent to scratches and dents and are used more for commercial applications but can be used in homes also.

It's hard to find reviews of Tarkett because it isn't as popular as companies such as Pergo, Quick Step, and Wilsonart but is considered to be a mid level laminate. Fast Floors has some general reviews for the series you're looking at:
