They don’t stick well

I couldn't find the exact product pattern ("Brown Wood Parquet") to match the one I'd bought elsewhere, but I liked the product enough to come here to review it.I wanted to get rid of the carpet in my closets. Because seriously, who puts carpet in closets? Bare floors are SO much better for closets, much easier to keep clean! Anyway, I didn't want to spend a lot on redoing the floors because they're in closets, and not something that will be looked at very much or seen on a regular basis, so if they weren't perfect, it wasn't going to be a dealbreaker.So I got these TrafficMaster tiles from a big box DIY retailer, and three things were appealing:1) peel-and-stick, so barely any DIY skill required/easy to install2) good price point - well under $1.50/sq foot3) attractive/didn't look cheapUnderneath my carpeting, I found 1970s-era linoleum, so that was convenient to have a ready-to-go smooth surface to work with. I scraped it free of insulation residue, cleaned it, and applied a thin layer of peel & stick primer.It IS very easy to install. Be forewarned, the sticky side IS sticky, but it's easy to wash off with soap & water or handiwipes. Peel, align very carefully, press into place. I stood on the each tile after placing it down to use my body weight to make sure it stayed down, and so far have had no issues with tiles peeling up.Very easy to cut - I used a boxcutter. Score as deeply on the non-sticky side as you can manage, then just fold over, and it will snap cleanly.Are they perfect? No - I did this job in a hurry, and the alignment wasn't perfect, because the wood along the sides of my closet has imperfections from age. But they LOOK great, especially as I used them for a closet, so any imperfections aren't going to be obvious. Took me maybe half an hour, tops, to do each closet, not including prep time of removing previous carpet/insulation/debris. (I did 4 closets with them.)Would I use them for a full room? If I had the time to install them carefully, yes, I probably would. They are inexpensive (<$1.50/sq ft), look nice, and if you take the time to prep the floor correctly (make sure it is washed clean; apply a pre-flooring prep adhesive), they work great!Is anybody going to think they are real wood or real stone (depending on pattern)? Doubt it. But they don't look cheap; they look decent. Would definitely use again.Pictures are: installed flooring; old 1970s linoleum prior to cleaning it up/prepping to apply; and how closet looks with shelving in it.
