I have been looking at the laminate floor tile, and like the looks of it. I am wondering if anyone knows how it holds up? Any information would be great.

Do a search on it here - there have been lots of discussions on laminate flooring. Concensus seems to be not to use it in wet areas, don't expect it to look like the "real thing" (wood or tile), be prepared to live with minor scratches and, if you have dogs, be prepared to get used to the "clicking" noise their toenails make on the floor.

I used some in a hallway (entrance) but it doesn't actually get that much traffic. It was the stuff that required glue on the tongue and groove. I don't remember the brand but it looks great.
The "grouted" area on the pattern is slightly depressed so it really looks like tile. The glue joint is very precisely machined so you have to get down on your hands and knees to see any trace of a joint.
It doesn't sound like tile when you walk on it, or when a dog walks on it, as a previous poster mentioned.
