We actually used this product in a breezeway as a finished hardwood wall. The product gives a very beautiful carribean feel to any area and because this product will be under roof but still subject to humidity I wanted to check how it maintains intregity with water. I put a plank of flooring in a sink and let it sit in water for a day then let it dry out...... no splitting or twisting. Used in a breezway on a wall may be a unconventional use but it is beautiful. The product does scratch easily but can be repaired easily.

We installed the bamboo in our family rm., foyer and 1/2 bath about 2 years ago. We loved the look and feel of it but it did scratch easily. We are doing more updates in our home now and decided to do the liv. rm and dining rm. and master bath also. We love how it came out. Keep your dogs nails short and add area rugs where you can.

This is not for the novice. One needs some experience in putting flooring down on the floor. I put this product on a concrete slab and had to glue it down. Not fin!!!! I would recommend gluing a plywood floor down and nailing the floor to it.

Scratched by dogs nails within days of installation. Cracked within six months. Had to replace within two years. Should not be used where there is low humidity in the air. Lumber Liquidators paid me back for the cost of the wood after an independent inspection.

I wish I could say better things. It does look nice but the finish scratches with hardly any effort. My 6 year old barely moved an ottoman on it and now there are marks. My dog walks on it and it marks up. I will keep the floor in for a few years but sadly believe it will need replaced before too long. Thank goodness for area rugs.

We glued the wood to our concrete floors. The only issue we had was that it would slip after being pressed into the glue, and we started getting gaps between the wood. In order to fix this, we used bar clamps and held the wood in place over night until we could get back to work in the morning. This solved that problem beautifully, but when doing this, please be careful not to dent your wall. We now have a few places to patch. We also used wooden spacers (aka shims) between the wall and the wood to help with gaps. These were absolutely necessary so I recommend you buy several dozen of those. The bamboo looks amazing, it's beautiful and really makes a statement. If you don't know what you are doing, please hire someone. The wood is too beautiful to waste with bad craftsmanship. It's durable, doesn't scratch easy, and looks fantastic. I do recommend when cutting the wood to use a very accurate saw because we had a few problems with the wood chipping on the end where we cut it. It is something you have to be very precise and careful with.

The color is beautiful with just enough shine, even husband said the floor looks great and he's a tough cookie. I've already told strangers in stores how great this floor is. There was absolutly NO ORDOR as some complained of. We did notice that it seems to scratch easy and smaller pieces split easy on install.

I've used Carbonized bamboo in two of my three bedrooms so far, and will use it again in my third eventually. The Bamboo is incredibly straight, and stable which makes it a dream to work with. The flush fit floor registers match perfectly, and make for a beautiful finish along with matching quarter-round moldings. I Love this product and recommend it.

Comments about Morning Star 5/8" x 3-3/4" Vertical Carbonized Bamboo:

We covered our living room, entry, dining room and kitchen with the same flooring. It makes the furniture and cupboards really stand out. Rather pulls all the rooms together quite nicely.

Comments about Morning Star 5/8" x 3-3/4" Vertical Carbonized Bamboo:

This floor looks Great and really easy and quick to install. 195 square feet in just over 3 hours to install in my daughters room. All boards were perfectaly straight and looks Great. Would recommend to anyone, even the novice DIYer.

Comments about Morning Star 5/8" x 3-3/4" Vertical Carbonized Bamboo:

The great thing about this floor is its durability and resistance to water.......we had a major flood a few months ago, and over 2" of water laid on this floor for over 8 hrs before we returned home.....i honestly thought this floor was a gonna....we swept all the water out, removed baseboards, turned on the AC and kept fans in the area for about 3 days.....the ends of the planks took the longest to dry out, but after about 3 weeks, everything was 99% back to normal....there is a very very slight curve on the planks now, but considering the water this floor was subjected to, i would say, thats pretty remarkable......i would almost say its added character.......Off course, i do not recommed getting any lumber floor wet, but if disaster happens, this floor can certainly withstand it.

Comments about Morning Star 5/8" x 3-3/4" Vertical Carbonized Bamboo:

Great Floor[...] my Wife and I love the finished product. It took me about 8 hrs to lay 600sqft. I had never done this type of floor before. I used glue and it gets every where. For anyone thinking of using glue, spread the glue thin first (enough for about 4-5 rows) and let stand for a 15 minutes. This will help hold the boards in place. Use masking tape to help secure the planks aswell. After about 2hrs or drying, go back over each piece and make sure no planks have moved. after you finish laying, use a glue cleaner that Lumber liquidators sells to wipe off the film that is left.

It really dresses up the dining room...adds character.

We wish we could have laid it down diagonally but the cost was too much.

Comments about Morning Star 5/8" x 3-3/4" Vertical Carbonized Bamboo:

We decided on the carbonized bamboo because we have kids and pets who have already scratched the newly installed family room floor. The good news is the bamboo is the same color all the way through the wood so the scratches are not very noticeable. Once you get the first row down straight, the rest of the floor is relatively easy to install as long as you rent the right tools.

Consistently good value.

Comments about Morning Star 5/8" x 3-3/4" Vertical Carbonized Bamboo:

I installed these floors in my kitchen and living room. Very water resistant and anti-bacterial! Beware homes with dogs... the clear finish does scratch easily and is hard to cover up. Otherwise the best money spent on my home!!!

Comments about Morning Star 5/8" x 3-3/4" Vertical Carbonized Bamboo:

This is the third bamboo floor I have purchased from Lumber Liqursators My first was 7 years ago, it still looks brand new. The flooring is harder than Oak, impervious to water and is half the cost of Oak

We replaced carpet with bamboo in the first floor of our condo. It's been one month and we're very pleased with the results. The floors are very attractive.We priced floors at [...]and a local flooring store. Lumber Liquidators was signficantly lower. They also recommended an installer that was lower priced as well.Overall it was a great experience and we'll use the same process in the future.

Great cost, installer had thougth it was easy to lay

Comments about Morning Star 5/8" x 3-3/4" Vertical Carbonized Bamboo:

The floor is beautiful on it's own, but was not very scratch resistant when put to the test. As with any remodel, a few dings, dents and scratches are expected as things get shifted around. We wanted this floor to stand up to more that it actually did. Just about every little thing scratched it. We're hoping a scratch filling floor polish will do the trick.

Comments about Morning Star 5/8" x 3-3/4" Vertical Carbonized Bamboo:

The floor looks fantastic and it was fairly easy to install. However, we already have several scratches and dents. We were under the impression that Bamboo was a very durable floor, but so far we are not impressed with it's durability. Even the most minor contact such as dropping a pair of keys seems to leave a mark.

Comments about Morning Star 5/8" x 3-3/4" Vertical Carbonized Bamboo:

The bamboo flooring is beautiful. We had it installed by a professional, not associated with Lumber Liquidators, and he was very impressed with the quality. That made me feel good because he deals with flooring all day, every day. Our flooring is replacement for carpeting and is in our bedroom and closet, second floor landing, and an office. We are still in renovation, so I haven't put it through all the paces of daily living yet, but it is standing up to the carpenters and painters with no problems.

Comments about Morning Star 5/8" x 3-3/4" Vertical Carbonized Bamboo:

I bought enough for my whole house, so I ended up with two lots. The tongues and grooves were at different heights because of the two lot numbers. The floor looks good, the color is good, but it dents and scratches very easily compared to an engineered or solid plank oak floor. I have laid multiple engineered floors and used to be a trim carpenter, and this floor was a bear to install. I recently moved my new, empty, refrigerator, which is on wheels and it left ruts in the floor.

This product was really nice to work with. Easy to cut and install. It looks like a million bucks in our new room. It is definately a great flooring product for beginners to work with, learning to install hard wood flooring.

Comments about Morning Star 5/8" x 3-3/4" Vertical Carbonized Bamboo:

I purchased this flooring for a house that I am renovating and hired a pro to install. He did a great job, (he was recommended by Lumber Liquidators). The installer picked up the material and did installation while I was away. When I saw the finished job I loved the color and grain but noticed small "dots" where the finish was missing. Some looked like small bubbles and when you touched them the varnish lifted off. In my 750 sq. ft. of flooring, I probably have 8 places the size of a nickel missing the finish. Being a perfectionist it drives me crazy. My installer is going to apply varnish and hopefully they'll blend in. I bought first quality flooring, not a close out. So...beware.

looks great better than I imagined

Comments about Morning Star 5/8" x 3-3/4" Vertical Carbonized Bamboo:

Chose this product because of the 30 year warranty and the price. The color is exactly as shown in the image. Initially it wasn't exactly the color we wanted but in the end it does look nice in our living room. We got some professional installation help, and the crew noted that the tongues and grooves were cut great and all boards were straight with no waste. Additionally they said that this is the nicest bamboo they have ever seen, and they have known people who have put down bamboo floors for $11/sqft.

Comments about Morning Star 5/8" x 3-3/4" Vertical Carbonized Bamboo:

This product installed easily. The uniform lengths and the wide width of the planks allowed quick installation. It took me a total of about 8 hours to install 144 square feet by myself with one closet protrusion. Unlike the oak flooring I installed in a previous house, all of these planks were straight and not warped. I tested this product before I bought it to see how easily it dented. It dented the same as the Oak flooring on my ground floor, but cost less and is environmentally friendly. After this instatllation, my wife and I are planning on installing this bamboo flooring on the entire 2nd floor.

Comments about Morning Star 5/8" x 3-3/4" Vertical Carbonized Bamboo:

Our main considerations in purchasing this flooring was that is was "green" friendly, looked good, and price point. The staff at LL were very friendly and accommodating. The flooring was installed without too much of a problem in a kitchen (removed existing maple)& adjoining dining room (removed carpeting) by a flooring contractor. The surface nail holes could not be covered satisfactorily and the floor is much softer than originally imagined. As much as I would love to recommend I cannot. Too soft.

Comments about Morning Star 5/8" x 3-3/4" Vertical Carbonized Bamboo:

We love the look of our new bamboo floors, and everyone who sees them loves them, too. We got a great price from Lumber Liquidators, and the guys at the store were extremely helpful.

Comments about Morning Star 5/8" x 3-3/4" Vertical Carbonized Bamboo:

My husband and I love the look of this bamboo flooring. It is also much better for the environment than regular hardwood! He had a little trouble starting the floor but once he got going, it was smooth sailing. He would use the piece he cut to start the next row so it was all staggered. The only thing we don't like is it dents very easily but it is forgiving in that with the grain of the bamboo you can't really see the dents too much.

Comments about Morning Star 5/8" x 3-3/4" Vertical Carbonized Bamboo:

We put this Bamboo in a bedroom and it was contrasted with green and maroon painted walls. The room looked great when finished. This flooring went down very easy.

A rather soft wood, best in a low traffic area, eg. dinning room. This is a good looking product, and we would buy this again for specific areas.

Comments about Morning Star 5/8" x 3-3/4" Vertical Carbonized Bamboo:

I just had these installed professionally a few weeks ago... so I cannot comment on the durability. The floors are absolutely gorgeous. The bamboo provides a very warm look to the room. You cannot beat the price... and the quality does not seem to lack. Time will tell on how well it ages / wears.

Comments about Morning Star 5/8" x 3-3/4" Vertical Carbonized Bamboo:

We put down our bamboo floors 4 years ago, and they still look great. They are easy to clean and have endured a lot. We originally selected bamboo for the sustainability of the product; however, when we went and looked at all the different varieties of flooring available, we liked bamboo best for appearance, as well. I highly suggest you look into bamboo.

Comments about Morning Star 5/8" x 3-3/4" Vertical Carbonized Bamboo:

I chose this because it seemed the enviromentally friendly choice from renewable bamboo forests. It has exceeded my expectations.

Comments about Morning Star 5/8" x 3-3/4" Vertical Carbonized Bamboo:

We used this bamboo on our main level for the formal dining area and main family room and it is stunning. The quality is great and we receive many compliments. Add to that the durabilty, the environmentally friendly quality of the product, and the beautiful appearance and one cannot go wrong with this product. It gives hardwood a run for its money.

Comments about Morning Star 5/8" x 3-3/4" Vertical Carbonized Bamboo:

This is a great product for the price. We put it throughout our entire house, minus the kitchen and bathrooms. We did not use glue, but nailed each piece. This took a long time and could be rather frustrating, however, it is done right and we don't need to worry about warping. If someone is flipping a house, glue it, as reviews show that works well too. We were searching for a product that would resist our labs nails. The floor does scratch, but it is more like a dent from the nails. If small stones are tracked into the house the finish scratches very easily. I would still recommend this rather "green" product to all.

Comments about Morning Star 5/8" x 3-3/4" Vertical Carbonized Bamboo:

The Morning Star Bamboo flooring is high quality and you just can't beat the price. Everyone says our floor looks perfect. The coloring is great! It was easily glued down onto our concrete slab. We installed it ourselves over 6 months ago and have had no problems at all. Absolutely love it!!
