Crafted Meticulously. Harvested Responsibly. We understand the importance of healthy forests. That's why we only buy from suppliers who practice responsible harvesting and carefully manage their cutting with replanting strategies in place. For us, it's not just about being responsible citizens. It's about being a responsible business too. Brazilian Mesquite brings pure elegance to any room. It boasts warm reddish brown tones that actually deepen when exposed to sunlight, and its straight and interlocked grain offers a more uniform look than many Brazilian woods. In fact, when you add the warm, inviting glow of Brazilian Mesquite to your room, it's not a floor anymore. It's a conversation piece. It Taber Tested "the Best." When subjected to the industry sandpaper abrasion test, known as Taber Testing, Bellawood's durability results were more than double most comparably priced floors. There's good, there's better—and then there's Bellawood.

Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/4" x 3-1/4" Brazilian Mesquite:
It's very attractive and infinitely variable. Each time you look at it you see something new. It was easy to install and looks like a pro did it. We wish it was a little harder, but in our situation it will work great.

Everyone loves the floor. Only con is I ordered a little extra, and ended up with lots extra that they would not take back(2 boxes). LL said the boxes had more square feet than they thought and they charged me an extra $90. They could have taken 1 unopened box back.

Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/4" x 3-1/4" Brazilian Mesquite:
Installation was hard because of inconsistant milling and thickness.
Is not durable at all. I realize it is wood, but this stuff dents when you drop a set of keys!
Warping or different milling was the most dissapointing.

Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/4" x 3-1/4" Brazilian Mesquite:
The grain patterns of the wood are extremely beautiful and I see something new each time I look at it. Each piece is a little different grained than the next but exquisite. This wood makes a colorful room that I love.

Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/4" x 3-1/4" Brazilian Mesquite:
We used the Mesquite as flooring for our living room, dining room, and two hallways. Though it's a beautiful wood (and it really is) it doesn't hold up to the high volume of traffic with kids and grandchild. My grandson dings the floor if he drops a matchbox car from a height of two feet. It's a beautiful wood to use in a more adult space like the master bedroom. Our hallways used to be red oak and never suffered such damage. It may be classified as a hardwood, it's definitely a softer hardwood. Though the sales people were great and very helpful, such differences were not communicated to us.
Unless Lumber Liquidators has any sugeestions, my wife and I are going to apply numerous coats of polyurethane to extend the service life of the floor? Any suggestions from you folks are wanted / solicited?
I would recommend lumber liquidators (and the Mesquite wood) to a friend with the caution of know your woods and it's applications.
Service and delivery comments:
I picked up the material at the store. The flooring arrived on schedule. The tread and riser I special ordered did not fare so well. The riser went back order and got pushed back. The tread that arrived at the store was the wrong type/style. I order the bottm step with the curved or rounded end, and received a standard tread that could be used in any other position. Ultimately I sanded the surface of the original oak stairs and stained to match using antique cherry and gunstock stains, then polyurethaned.

Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/4" x 3-1/4" Brazilian Mesquite:
It really is a stunning floor. Beautiful warm color tone with the perfect amount of color variation. I installed it in my kitchen and the transformation was truly extraordinary. The floor does scratch fairly easily, but I've found that murphys oil tends to work pretty well. Installation was straightforward and I had almost NO waste. I did have a problem with the nailer as it wouldn't nail a floor this thin....just watch out! Had to jerryrig it up.
I'd recommend this very highly!!!

After picking out diffrent types of wood in other rooms, I thought this would be my least favorite. After seeing it on the floor, turns out it's my favorite. Beautiful wood with lots of variation.
