How do I choose laminate wood flooring?

Tags: Flooring & Stairs
I'm considering installing a laminate wood floor in a bedroom.

What should I be looking for if I want to use a quality product? The "big box stores" are always running a sale but, I don't really know what I'm looking at other than "Oh, that one is pretty" !

Any suggestions as to better product lines would be appreciated.

Juliedealer,

We just went through a long process of choosing laminate flooring and took it all back to the store. Although your case is different from ours, you might read through the thread between myself and floorwizard. You might learn something. Laminate flooring can be very beautiful and relatively easy to install but we had a rather unique problem with it. You should be OK. glendot
