Easi-loc by name but not easi-loc by nature! The first two rows went down easily but trouble started on row 3. The problem was that not all the boards are cut entirely straight, which meant it was very difficult for adjacent rows to fit properly (some were very slightly convex and some very slightly concave). Over the whole floor, this caused slight gaps in either the middle or one of the ends to occur, and made it very difficult to get the boards to lock together. Our solution was to find boards whose facing edge would match the previous one (judging by eye). Also a lot of brute force to shove them together! Fortunately, we had bought more boards than needed so we were able to select the best fit for each row. If you buy this product, make sure you buy at least one or two spare packs. All in all, a small room (8 x 11 ft) took two people nearly a whole weekend, but now it's down, it looks and feels fine.

A good first review, though a little bit more background would be nice. I suggest reading a few reviews to get familiar with different styles - there are some really good examples in the member centre. Welcome to ciao, Mike.
