MY guess is there will not be much idea of the quality since it has been available for such a short time . IMO pergo has always been a good laminate flooring choice and the write up seems to be offering good ideas .

Any new info on Pergo elements line?

I can comment on my Pergo flooring. I had it installed in my kitchen about 10 years ago; and it still looks and functions beautifully. I loved it so much, when I had my kitchen renovated a few years ago, I kept my Pergo flooring. Nothing seems to ding or scratch it! Easy cleanup with diluted vinegar and water (per Pergo’s cleaning recommendation).
