That is reassuring.
I have placed large felt pads under most of the furniture, and objects that were previously immoveable on a carpet now move with ease on the laminate.
I suspect if the floor needs to move, it will just slide under them.
I was also wondering how comes Ikea demo rooms do not seem affected. (Although their bookshelves are not really full).
Thanks Scott! :-)

: Heavy objects normally found in homes (piano's, refrigerators, funiture) will have NO EFFECT on a properly installed laminate floor. Even a car or light truck probably wouldn't hurt it because the psi under each tire is not that high. If the floor needs to expand/contract there aren't many things you can get into your house that will stop it.
