Morning Star Bamboo Flooring is one of the best bamboo floors on the market today. It is produced from old growth bamboo reeds that are at least 4 years old, thereby increasing hardness. Morning Star Bamboo Flooring creates a naturally beautiful and ecologically friendly product that evokes a feeling of luxury. Quick Highlights: Carbonized Strand To make strand bamboo, shredded bamboo fibers are compressed under extreme heat and pressure. This manufacturing process yields flooring that is even harder and more dense than traditional bamboo floors. Available in a variety of colors to complement and décor, all Morning Star strand bamboo products are finished with premium coating and backed by a 30 year warranty. And, since bamboo is a naturally sustainable grass that re-grows spontaneously after harvest, you can feel good about making an environmentally friendly flooring decision.

Comments about Morning Star 9/16" x 3-3/4" Qing Dragon Strand Bamboo:
I'm an avid do-it-yourselfer but this was my first time with a nail-down floor. This was great product to work with. It is very dense, so a sharp blade on your miter saw is really important (depending on the job, you may want a spare blade handy). Because of the fiber type manufacturing, the tongue can tear out if you apply too much pressure with the hammer. Once you get a feel, it is pretty much smooth sailing. I set my nailer at 85psi and it worked like a charm. The floor looks great!

The nail-down installation was harder than anticicpated. [...].But now that it is in, it looks beautiful. Everyone comments on how much it improved the house.

Comments about Morning Star 9/16" x 3-3/4" Qing Dragon Strand Bamboo:
It looks great; but any little scratch shows up in this dark finish. I bought the carbonized, clear/natural finish (it did not say it was stained; but seems to be) thinking it would not show scratches as easily. That still may be the case on deep scratches; but surface scratches show quite easily...

Comments about Morning Star 9/16" x 3-3/4" Qing Dragon Strand Bamboo:
This is a great product that is highly attractive and very durable. We have two dogs, one of which is a 90+ lb Lab and we have no scratches after one year. The only con is that it does show dust/dog hair, but the look of it outweighs the cons.

This flooring is very durable and looks great in any room. Wonderful color, however lacks the shine you would get from say the cherry woods. However, it's Eco friendly and will last a very long time.

Comments about Morning Star 9/16" x 3-3/4" Qing Dragon Strand Bamboo:
the bamboo dark wood floor is attractive but impossible to keep clean. Any kind of liquid stain will take several attempts to remove. The floor also seems to scratch off easily. If something hits the floor, a piece of the wood will chip off. Having had hardwood floors for many years, I'm surprised and dissapointed with this product. I wish I had asked about stains and that I had been told about the stains issue. It appears that if liquid hits the floor, it gets under the top layer? I do not recommend this product.

Comments about Morning Star 9/16" x 3-3/4" Qing Dragon Strand Bamboo:
We decided on this product over ceramic tile and wouldn't change that. It does scratch easier that I thought but that can be covered up - with ceramic tile, if it breaks, that can't be. We get alot of good comments on the floor.

CUSTOMER CARE
A:
Morning Star flooring is finished with 7 coats of 55% gloss urethane. These semigloss finishes are preferred by most because high gloss tends to show every smudge and piece of dust. To have higher gloss finish on this floor a full sanding/removal of factory finish would be required. Then new finish applied.
