WE purchased this product for three br's. Had virtually no waste. Some boards a slight wide, but they made thier own rows. Do pay attention to proper sanding. We used Minwax cherry stain on red oak to get a great warm wood look. Go figure. Will purchase this again for another project.

As a professional hardwood flooring contractor, I thought I could save a couple of dollars using this product. Many boards were 1/8 inch narrow, this means stopping work to either pull the board out or finding another narrow one. Once I realized this, we used a caliper to measure each board, so of course I lost money on this install.[...]

I am a do-it-yourselfer and this has been my first experience putting in hardwood flooring. Not as difficult as I thought and the results have been outstanding. The red oak is beautiful and the quality from LL has been excellent. I've ordered twice, about 250 sq ft each time. The different orders matched extremely well and couldn't be happier. There was about 5% waste as far as unusable wood (warped, damaged, cracked, etc). For the price, wasn't upset and was able to use some of it in closets and areas where it wasn't noticeable. One product I wish LL would carry is the wood putty fill for small gaps. Had to get that a Lowes. Have used a Bostich reconditioned U/MFN manual nailer from amazon. Got for $100 and has held up through 500 sq ft with no problems.

When I had some product left over, I planed down the edges and used it to build a matching set of shelves. I liked the matching results.

Installed this in Master Bedroom. Overall happy with the product/value proposition but question the 'Select' designation. Had too many short pieces and some knots. Boards were fairly straight (not warped) but ends were not all square.

Due to the bundle size, I ordered too much wood. I can't return unfinished wood and the amount left over is enough for an 8X8 room size. It is money wasted.

Our Red Oak has been down a year now [...] Take your time on the sanding and finishing - its not hard and it makes all the difference. Easy to install but give yourself a bit extra wood and time to play with until you get the hang of it. A rubber mallet was a great help to tap it into place. We are preparing to do our family room, breakfast room and kitchen this year. Our realtor friend says it will dramatically increase our home's value - especially when we finish putting it in all the rest of the house.Way classier than laminate!

This is beautifull wood and well made tongue and groove connection joints. I am not finished as yet but would be glad to share photos with your company when I finish.

Replaced tired old carpet with hardwood floor - makes the living room look much larger.
