You would know it's fake because you bought it, no one else would be able to tell it was laminate. Check it out, Home depot might even have it in stock. Easy to cut by scoring it, and 2 coats of contact cement on the backside and wall, and your golden. Contact cement in a small litre is about $14.00 or less.
