Formaldehyde contaminated vs real wood? Nope.

Sophie, I think that the OP will be able to source laminate flooring without purchasing from Lumber Liquidators. I did.

Anne, I saw that special too. Kinda made me second guess the Pergo laminate floors I want to put in my kitchen. What company do you suggest?

I had to google it myself as I was unaware of the Formaldehyde/Lumber Liquidators connection. Ellie, I don't have any specific suggestion for flooring companies. We purchased ours through an independent Mannington dealer.

Btw, I had Pergo floors in a previous home. I did not find them to be super durable. :(

I would not mix wood look laminate with real wood it will make the laminate look cheap why not try another style of laminate like a slate instead.

By the way not all laminates have formaldehyde check out those too.
