You can't beat the price on these and they're easier to work with because you're just putting down a square at a time versus measuring/cutting a lot of long planks. I will say that many of them among the 18 sets of ten that I bought had a defective surface coating that catches the light in droplet looking formations. I've decided to live with it but I highly recommend you go through your boxes of these if you don't intend to put them down right away and if you find the same defects you should group the damaged ones, ten to a box, and see if they can be replaced with new sets. I wish I had done this and too much time has passed for me to seek a remedy.
