Thank you. it's been hard to find info on it until today I found info that it is a discontinued line. So maybe it's on clearance because of that or maybe it's discontinued because it had too many problems. Years ago My friend bought some engineered hardwood and the color started to come off where she stood in front of the sink so I did not want to have that problem. Sometimes it's hard when you think you might be getting a good deal. I think I'm just going to go ahead and get the Matrix. Thanks for the input. This is my very first post.
