Hi there, you are the authority when it comes to solid/engineered flooring and I would appreciate your opinion on some engineered boards I've just bought. I've bought the following flooring, It's only 10mm thick with a 2.5mm real wood layer and is single plank with a satin laquered finish.

I plan laying this in my downstairs & upstairs hall & lounge. I hear you talking about "bedroom quality" "wood veneer" and such, just wanted your opinion on this flooring given that halls are going to be high use areas.
I got it pretty cheap and on 0% finance which obviously was a big selling point however I'll return it if it's not up to the job or is regarded as being "cheap rubbish", it's only after finding this site that I've been learning a little about quality of engineered boards.... the stuff was already ordered
Also, as far as underlay goes... I'm laying it on to concrete, it came with some very cheap looking 3mm foam underlay with a DPM, would I benifit from buying sonic gold 5mm underlay? Or something else? I'm worried about it feeling very flexible underfoot being such a thin board...
Any advice really really appreciated.
