 Zero margin of error. Bad return policy.Feb 10, 2009
Shortened version of this review:
-These panels look good and are sturdy, but they probably will not fit your attic. If they took out the notches on the bottom and added more screw holes to allow a better margin of error, they'd have a very nice product.
-The return policy is simply unacceptable.
Long version of this review:
These panels are nice and sturdy, but the underside of the panels have notches to help them fit more snug. That's good except that means that your attic must be built *exactly* the way they designed these, and not all attics are made equal. Only the first row fit for me. My row #2 was 23 inches, and these did not fit. My only hope was to turn them upside down, thus exposing the knee-hurting, eye-sore notches.
The next problem was that the screw holes are in one location. If you lucked up and the panel actually fit correctly, then you still need to cross your fingers in that the screw holes actually line up over the wood. My screw holes on row #2 missed the wood completely.
Anyway, I gave up after I couldn't find a reasonable compromise and decided to return these. I bought two packs for $100 (with $10 shipping included). I emailed them through Amazon to get a refund going. During the course of a week, I found out:
-It says Aisle 77, but these are actually sold by JNK Products.
-They do not refund shipping.
-They said they paid $25 shipping (putting my refund at $75).
-You are required to ship them back on your own expense.
If I wanted to return these to get $75 out of my $100, I'd have to ship it back myself. These are big heavy boxes, and I'd have to pay consumer-to-business prices on UPS, and the best deal I could find was $70:
$100 - $25 (their shipping) - $70 (my shipping) = $5 actual refund.
Even if I had their nice shipping rate:
$100 - $25 (their shipping) - $25 (my shipping) = $50 actual refund.
No thanks. I ended up selling these in town to someone on craigslist and floored my attic with plywood.
Hope that helps somebody!

 Super easy to installNov 12, 2008
I found this item to be incredibly easy to install. I had two of the 4-packs installed in less than an hour. There is an issues with the joists not being 100% evenly spaced, but it caused no issue. The tabs aren't flush with each other in all areas, but I don't see how this would cause any issues. I am buying 2 more packs to expand upon the area I've already installed.
The main drawback is the price. 100 bucks for 8 panels is a bit pricey. 4 panels pretty much just gives you enough room to get in the attic and stand. Another 4 gives you a little bit of storage. Luckily I was able to use my credit card reward points to get 2 $100 gift certificates to amazon, so it hasn't cost me hardly anything out of pocket.
I highly recommend the product - easy to install and it does what it is supposed to do.

Attic tire reviewSep 14, 2007
Simple to use and install. Very effective and light solution for maximizing space in an attic. A little pricey.

 No gripes whatsoever - nearly flawless product.Apr 02, 2007
I installed this recently and have no qualms at all. Installation was nearly trouble-free, and the product is easily as strong as advertised.
There are three prevailing gripes that are lost on me. First is the complaint that the 16x16 packs are the better value. Maybe so, but if your joists are 24" apart, you must use the 24x16 panels - the 16x16 ones will be too short to fasten to your attic's floor. Second are complaints that uneven spacing between joists will prevent installation. We have some sloppy contractors in our area, and yet, all of the areas I covered with these panels fit perfectly, with the tabs between panels interlocking just fine. Finally, some have said the supplied screws are weak and will break during installation. My 18V drill didn't break a single one, and I installed 20 of these panels (that's 100 screws total) in one setting.
The only improvement I would like to see are pre-cut notches for stubborn wiring. I ran into several tightly secured wires running across joists that could not be moved. I had to cut out notches with a Dremel to accommodate them and put the given panel where I wanted. Not a big deal, but it did slow me down - it's the single difficulty I encountered.

Attic Dek better than expected.Jan 11, 2007
I bought this pack to see if how good it is and if I wanted to use it to floor the rest of my attic. The wood in my attic has been sagging when I walk across it so I need something that is strong and will last.
It is strong and of very good quality. I like it very much and I will be buying more.
