How long did it take to install?
I'm planning to put down "U Coat It" on our garage floor before we put anything in the garage if the builder ever finishes the house.

The layout we chose was one in 50+ different color/design combinations. We even changed the design on the fly after a third of the floor was laid. There are two six foot wide parking areas; one for the Vette and one for the Acura.
I put a great deal of thought into this project and put my imagination to work to picture in my mind the burning question of "can I live with this design and these colors".

Yes and no. It's some kind of plastic/polymer, no doubt about that. But, I could bow the tile a little bit in my own hands, so it also has some softness to it.
Still, it's held up beautifully in my garage -- I even installed my Bendpak lift on top of the tiles. They don't seem to care.
Although I haven't used my creeper in a while, I have used many carts, including engine stands and carts that were holding a lot of weight -- and they all rolled along just fine. The diamond plate "bumps" on the tile are not so big that they cause functional problems with things that like to roll.
Call Racedeck, they will usually send you a sample or two for a few bucks.

I had planned to use thin plywood as a cusion for jack stands and the floor jack wheels. Have you found that necessary?

I had some indentation, but it went away over time. Fortunately each tile can be removed and replaced without a lot of effort, so if you really ding one up it's not a big issue.
