I thought that the quality of the product was adequate. My only problem was that I underestimated the amount of square footage that I needed. I ordered more of the same product. The new bundles that I received were not of the same quality nor the same exact width; so I had to be careful to keep the orders separate when I put them down.

Overall I loved the red oak select unfinished wood. The quality was outstanding and really saved me a lot of time when putting the floor down because most pieces were excellent .... Only had about 5 percent waste or less!! I will admit I was skeptical at first because many reviews i read are on lower grades of wood. Although you pay more for a higher quality wood it is well worth it and lumber liquidators was still the best price in town!! I have never installed hardwood before but I followed the directions that are on the lumber liquidators website and it came out beautiful!! It was slow going at first to make sure the first 3 rows were absolutely straight ..... Since my wall was not .... But after that it went pretty smoothly .... Especially using a nematic nailer .... Really sped up the process and pulls ur rows together as u go.

We installed ~400 sq ft in two kids' bedrooms, a hallway and a stairway landing, and also replaced the old stair treads and risers (stripped the stairs down to the stringers). The end result was a beautiful, unfinished floor. Very few planks were off-width, so the final installation was very tight. We used perpendicular joints between the hallway and rooms, and the fit was spectacular. We ended up with a beautiful cross-grain look. Had a pro do the final finishing (Swedish finish / 3 coats), and we couldn't be happier. We originally were going to order quarter sawn, but in my opinion, the select was probably as good as it gets, and it was in-stock.

Board to board thickness has a lot of variation requiring inordinate amount of sanding.

Installed approximately 700.sf of unfinished red oak in a living room,dining room and two foyers. The price was very appealing but the quality was not up to Lumber Liquidator standards. I am very unhappy with the amount of defective boards that were in the lot that I purchased.
I have installed several thousand square feet of hardwood flooring from various manufacturers over the years and have never had this large amount of waste.
When I purchase select grade I expect it to be select.

The wood matched perfectly the red oak stair treads I bought and made a beautiful landing below and atop the stairway. It stained and varnished really well with the grain coming thru
after sanding.

I have the oak floor in whole my house. I used the brazylian cherry, to make the frame around the family and dinning room. Amaizing.

I ordered 800 sq ft online and picked it up at the store, it was waiting for me when I arrived and they helped load it. When intalling it, it was excellent quality, and Lumber Liquidators was by far the best price. Very happy with the product and the experience.
