This flooring we are really happy with. It holds up quite well, and we have two large dogs (100+ lbs) and 2 boys (need I say more BOYS lol)

The bamboo flooring gave the room a very dramatic appearance with a lot of character and made our guest bedroom a sight to be seen. It was easy enough to install with the right equipment. The tongue & groove was very tight fitting and sometimes very tough to put together. Stapling no less than 2.5" from each edge. Watch for flaws in the tongue & groove and don't use. The only thing that was wrong was that there was a blonde piece in the mix. We installed it thinking that it was going to be a piece in, every so often But the next blonde piece didn't happen until 6 boxes later. Now my entire floor is carmelized except one natural piece a third of the way through the floor. Very disappointing. We ended up putting the bed in a spot we did not want to put it in, but it does hide the one natural piece.
Bamboo flooring really established atmosphere we wanted for a yoga/meditation room. 3/8 in was easy to do myself. A little more splintering than hardwoods, but manageable. Got advice to for an extended aclimatizing period for Denver's very dry climate and this seems to have worked well. Great price when on sale.

i love the way the floors look. it was scary when the first run delivered had several flaws. lumber liquidators replaced the entire load and now they are really great. Five Star flooring was a great referral from the company to install the entire downstairs in one week. we came home each night to a new section of the house as a new delight. they also kept the house clean so we could live and not suffer too badly during such an undertaking
Worked great and looks great in an old house. I could count on one hand the number of bad pieces out of 8 boxes. The 3/8's was also very forgiving in some very unlevel areas. My dad was impressed and commented that "you'd never have done that with 3/4" hardwoods".

I must preempt my comments by saying I've never done this before and I did not use a licensed contractor to install this floor. I've learned a few lessons: always buy a little more than what you need for the small areas, buy the accessories at the same store and use a licensed contractor.
I bought this wood for my 3 yr old daughter's 9 x 10 bedroom. We had carpet down previously and discovered that she has allergies. I bought the wood after reading several reviews. I opted to not buy the accessories at the time of sale as I wasn't sure what to buy. After discovering that nailing would split the wood and that the floor had a slight slope so glue was out as well, the installation took about 5 hours. We're very happy with the way the wood makes the room seem larger and it's been very easy to maintain. I bought a Swiffer. The floor looks so good that I plan on using it in the rest of the house.

This is a solid product at a great price point, installed a little under 1000 square feet in 4 upstairs bedrooms. Pulled from 4 boxes to mix up the light and dark pieces, this gives it a great look and not blah like all one colored bamboo can be. So far appears to be durable with no issues. All pieces are the same length so be sure to cut/stagger the joints. TIP: The 'cut' piece from one end can become the first row on the next course, use your head when laying it out.

We put this flooring in our guest cottage to give it that coastal feel and it is perfect! One consideration is the kind of use the room gets. I would not want my dogs running and sliding all over it, but as we have used it it is perfect.

It looks beautiful-everyone comments how beautiful it looks.
It is soft and to keep it from scratching or being dented you have to be very careful.

We are in the process of purchasing a home with this very similar colored bamboo flooring. We really would prefer darker a lot darker. Can these be sanded and stained? I would hate to rip out the flooring just to replace it when it is in such good condition. If it can be stained is there a preferred kind/brand?1 answer

Will Bamboo flooring with stand a lot of bedroom traffic. Would like to use Bamboo in 2 rooms 10 x 12 and 1 room 12 x 15.1 answer
A:
Despite today's advanced technology, water spills, dirt and other abrasive substances can damage a wood floor's finish. Location, traffic patterns, how often the floor is vacuumed and cleaned, children and/or pets are all factors that influence wear and durability.Q:
can you put bamboo flooring on concrete1 answer
A:
Yes you can!Q:
I will be installing it throughout my new house which is an open plan/layout. Should I install it under my kitchen cabinets or should I install the cabinets first and cut the flooring around it? Also since it will be glued down on concrete does it matter which direction (vertical to the house or horizontal to the house) it is installed.1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
Flooring should be installed AFTER cabinets are installed. This is because flooring needs to expand and contract freely. Expansion gaps are needed around perimeter and around any fixed vertical obstructions. Quarter Round molding or shoe molding is used to cover the expansion gap.Q:
Will this product stand up to four dogs running and walking on it daily?1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
I would not recommend this flooring for heavy traffic and dogs. Horizontal Carbonized is relatively soft and Supreme has a lesser finish than our Morning Star brand bamboo. My recommendation for pet resistant bamboo is a Strand Morning Star. Super hard and excellent finish. 7 coats of Treffert or Klumpp (made in Germany) highly resistant polyurethane finish with aluminum oxide anti-scratch and a 55% gloss.Q:
Where does this material come from? Does it contain urea or formaldehyde? Is it low VOC?1 answer
