This item is extremely cheap looking.  I read the bad reviews and thought maybe it would look like a decent piece of laminate flooring but it's just awful.  The texture of the material is very smooth and the wood grain is just a fake-looking print.  Maybe if the surface had some texture to it, it would be tolerable.  What makes it worse is I have to pay $150-ish to return this item to the manufacturer.  Believe the bad reviews.
