Initially, I did not want to take Chinese, but I needed a thick laminate. Therefore, I decided to take Argento. In addition, the seller convinced that this is normal China. Having decided on an experiment (before that, he had nothing to do with the laminate) he ordered 8 boxes. At home he gave a day to rest and began to collect. Here, of course, I first looked at the geometry of the "sundries." It turned out that everything was fine with her.
This reassured me, but later on during the assembly I very meticulously examined all joints. It was in vain to find fault: with a dense knock-out, there is no sign of “slack” and there is no hint of a gap, even a difference in height (approximately 0.1 mm) was noticed in only three places. Honestly, I did not expect such quality from China. But there is one moment — locks before laying require very careful handling: strongly pressed with a palm and broke at the place of application of effort. A few laminate floors in this way had chipped locks. I read that, in fact, for all manufacturers, locks require delicate handling.
Yes, and more. The instructions describe the assembly method is not entirely correct. In this connection, I had difficulties with the assembly. Helped the Internet - found the "correct" way to build. He collected the entire strip of laminate, turned it at an angle of 40-45 degrees to the floor under the adjacent strip of laminate, pressed his palm and lowered the entire strip to the floor. Then he hammered through a bar with a hammer until the gap disappeared. Chamfer liked, as if the floor was assembled from real boards. But the chamfer is kind of delicate, smooth.
He dropped the screwdriver when assembling the cabinet - he punched the upper laminated layer with a 1-1.5 mm bat :-(
pros
Lovely with imitation wood texture. Good geometry laminate flooring.
Minuses
The castles are weak, but here it is more likely my fault.
:-( The laminated layer is resistant to abrasion, but not to falling tools
