    I asked about the shelves and she just said "Big Lots," so it could be anything. Fortunately I still have a box laying around. I will say that like most other composites that one has to assemble, these seem pretty fragile, where the paper backer is required piece to hold the whole thing together. With them tucked into the corner like that, I'm not too worried about them. The floor is really pretty easy, just need to take your time and pay attention to small details and make sure all your trim is off before placement. I had to remove the door jamb in the closet to make sure I wouldn't have a gap when finished. I did NOT do that in the other room, and as a result have ugly gaps that just scream (First time DIY!) when you look at them. We have the vinyl planks (with the sticky tongue and groove) in the kitchen, and while I didn't personally do that one, it seems more difficult with less margin of error. Let me grab a picture of that shelf box for you.

    Whomever did the wood floor in our kitchen/hall/bath was a doofus. Same person apparently that also did the tiles in the upstairs baths. Instead of undercutting the door casings and trim, they fit the wood to the jambs. Sorry if you did that once and feels are hurt.

    It looks great from here!

    P.S. They also didn't pull the kitchen cabs or add a riser to the countertops that were resurfaced (with effing ceramic tile - yuk). Hence, replacing the dishwasher (twice now) has been a royal PITA and required a cutout of the bullnose. Looks like ass but I can't afford to redo.

    Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.
    Credit roberth: List of things Government does best; 1. Steal your money 2. Steal your time 3. Waste the money they stole from you. 4. Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."
