EDITED TO ADD: A few people have mentioned that I didn’t stagger all the boards. That’s not the case. This is a multi-plank flooring, which means the small tiles are 4.5″ wide, the medium is 5.5″, and the large is 10″ wide. The instructions and the display at Home Depot all show that the 4.5″ and the 5.5″ planks, when snapped together, are treated as a single plank. Therefore, once snapped together, I staggered them as if they are one plank. Hope that makes sense! For more questions about how I did this, email me: serena@thriftdiving.com, or leave a question below! 🙂
