Assuming that you do in fact mean laminate, yes, you can put furniture on it right away. There is no adhesive involved and hence no drying time. However, if you mean vinyl (and many get the 2 confused), if it is a glue down vinyl, you need to wait until it properly dries and you should check the manufacturer's instructions. For most, 24 hrs would be sufficient, but you should check.
