I have to wet clean this floor twice a day. I bought Bona for hardwood floors and the entire kit but the Bona seems to leave a film. [...] FYI, the color sticks do not work on this flooring. Beautiful floor, but exausting trying to keep it clean. The T-mold for this product is extremely expensive. I had it layed in the living room and kitchen. I do not recommend laying in the kitchen due to constant water spots and smugding. In the living room I had to lay an area rug so it wouldn't scratch anymore. [...]

My contractor installed the floor while I was on vacation, so I came back to a finished, beautiful floor. I love the finish, the color and the width of the planks. My particular installation is in a very large area (combination living room/dining room/ family room/ kitchen), so it is very dramatic. I couldn't have made a better choice.

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

My husband and I installed this floor about 8 months ago, and we love the color of the floor. It was also very easy to install. Between scraping the old carpet glue off, laying down underlayment, and laying down the floor we probably spent a few weekends and evenings getting it all laid down.

We are however very disappointed with it (not the look of it). If you have a dog I would strongly advise you NOT to purchase this floor. We have an 18 lb jack russell terrier, and everytime he runs fast across the floor he scratches it. So imagine how many scratches we have in our floor since about 8 months ago. Just looking at it for the first time, you wouldn't even notice the scratches, but my husband and I do notice it. We are thinking in about 3-5 years we are probably going to have to replace it. All that money and work down the drain. We are now thinking of getting a nice tile (marble / travertine) or hardwood floors (I'm going to look into this b/c I don't know if he would scratch this too) to prevent scratches.

Also, be prepared to sweep the floor every day because it shows dirt like you wouldn't believe, especially little white dog hairs.

I would only recommend this for someone that doesn't have dogs or kids.

easy to work with and good installation. Quality product. Only unknown is long term durability in a kitchen and how well the seams clean on such a dark finish

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

Make sure that the staples seat completely. If not the staple will slightky raise the next board.

The color and finish on the floor is beautiful. Be prepared to clean constantly. Floor scratches and dents very easily. In some areas where the floor sees water (kitchen), the floor is splitting with the grain of the bamboo!

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

Looks great, green material,and looks expensive. But shows smudges and foot prints very easily. Not recommended for people with big dogs, either.

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

product looks great. there were a few differneces in the finish, from board to board. just something to watch for.

Flooring is nice, very hard to keep clean, shows dust

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

We really love the new floor and we have decided that if we live here long enough we will do the whole house.

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

This was used in a bedroom. The product is very nice and the exact rich dark brown color that my daughter wanted. The service at Lumbar Liquidators in Hackensack was excellent.

This bamboo is beautiful and I am not suprised it is the work of Ty Pennington. I am suprised that Ty has his own line of flooring.

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

We put this in the livingroom, low traffic area. When installing have a lot of patience and go slow. Our floor turned out beautiful. We are now going to install in our familyroom. Love the color, comments from friends and family were it looks so elegant. It took about 8 hrs to install in a room 13x13. Main thing is to go slow and carefully, does splinter easily.

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

Very easy to install. Looks amazing in our photo studio/office. I only have 2 complaints.

1) The floor shows every single speck of dirt or dust. I knew that dark floors would be difficult to keep clean but I guess I never realized how much dust gets on a floor through normal use that you just don't see. If you are a neat-freak I would not recommend a floor this dark.

2) I did not realize that all the pieces would be the same exact length. It's not necessarily a bad thing but it forces you to create a pattern rather than having a random/patternless layout as is typical of wood floors.

Overall, I am very happy with the floor and would recommend it for a low traffic area where there is not much dirt.

My husband and I picked this product after shopping for several months and we could not be happier with our choice. We had baseboards installed at the same time and anyone who enters our home compliments our beautiful floors. Even though it has scratches and is difficult to keep clean the beauty outweighs the challenges. Our home experiences heavy traffic with 4 kids and two dogs so it could be much worse. This product has held up very well given the traffic so we live with the flaws that have been created. We love our choice.

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

Great Product at a Great Price. Couldn't resist trying my hand at installing the flooring. Some key notes to keep in mind: when cross-cutting, make certain to have a sharp blade, as the bamboo has a tendency to splinter or leave behind loose strings & always cut from the show surface; the standard floor nailer worked ok with the L-Shaped nails, but a brad nailer at a 45 degree angle should work fine; be very careful not to drop or drag any tools, the surface dents easily, but does add 'character'. I will buy this product again. To the novice: make certain to ask all the questions to the guys at the shop, as they are very knowledgeable and helpful with tips.

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

I used a professional installer and he said the finish was not the most durable. A little hard to keep clean because of the sheen. I still love these floors! We installed in the Living room and two Bedrooms. Looks like a new house!

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

A contractor installed this flooring in one day. The only thing that I would do differently is buy the trim at the same time that I bought the flooring. Now my office is waiting for my baseboard molding and saddle to be installed before I can get back to work!

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

We installed this in a livingroom addition. The deep dark woods look black during the day and warm and brown by night. The floor has scratched from wear and tear, like any other floor but are more prominent because of the dark color. We have found cleaning with a micro fiber mop and windex or water and vinger in a spray bottle is the easiest way to clean them. I am very happy with them.

Product is great lots of different colors between boxes looks incredible not too hard to install.

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

good overall product

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

I almost didn't purchase this product because of the reviews. After considerable savings due to purchasing from LL (and I received UPromise dollars) this floor was installed by a professional. It is simply stunning!!!! I have not had a scratch yet. It really is jaw-dropping. (I will add pics once my bathrooms cabinets have been installed!)

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

It's overall appearance is beautiful! It does show dust quite easily. Bamboo in general scratches easily too, which I am not impressed with.

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

My contractor friend and I installed this beautiful bamboo flooring and it is more than what I expected. I'm about to remodel my kitchen and I'm using this flooring, it's going to be gorgeous, can't wait to see the the final results.

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

had it installed professionally. best way for me to clean is to spray it with cleaning solution and use the microfiber mop. Murphy's oil tends to leave a residue. i used very little in the spray bottle. high maintenence floor. cleaning the floor every other day with no kids. Careful in the kitchen area. the fridge left a huge dent in the floor so be careful with heavy objects. had no problem with scratches though. looks great.

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

My husband and I ripped out the carpets in all of the bedrooms and installed this stuff. I love love love the richness of the color. It really adds a wow factor. The only drawbacks are that we plan on making the house a rental (investment property) and I don't know how well this bamboo product will hold up. It does scratch and dent more easily than I would prefer. Every time something is dropped I cringe, but maybe its just because its brand new. I do recommend the product because its just gorgeous and if you take care of your floors properly, then there shouldn't be any problems.

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

Product is absolutely beautiful!! Get a lot of ooooohhhss and aaaahhhhss from those that have seen the installation

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

This dark bambbo flooring is just gorgeous. The only thing I would say is a small downfall is the dark finish of this flooring shows scratches a little more than a floor that doesnt have a dark finish would. But well worth the risk of a scratch or two as pretty as it is

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

we installed in the kitchen - absolutely beautiful, but not as durable as described... very prone to scratching - we are keeping covered for 6 mos hoping it will harden!

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

While we were installing the flooring it tended to scratch easily using the nail gun. We had to discard about 10 pieces because of the scratching. I do like the floor now that it is down. It looks great! Besides that problem, I would recommend this product. So far I have no other problems with scratches.

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

This was my first time buying flooring from Lumber liquidators, I was very happy with my decision.

The installed floor is very attractive and marks can be repaired easily with a black magic marker.

The only issue I had was the top coat finish would flake off if you did not hit the stapler square to the plank.

It can be repaired with a magic marker, but if you look really close you can notice that it has flaked.

The planks were very straight and consistent, and installed easily.

Over all I am very happy and I would purchase flooring form Lumber Liquidators again. I would even recommend this type of floor. I would just be careful installing it.

great color, attracts smudges though.

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

My husband and I installed this flooring in 4 rooms of our home. We are pretty handy but had never done wood flooring prior to this. It came out very well and it is beautiful. The only con that i have is that it shows dust easily but the swiffer duster that also vacuums keeps it looking great. The bamboo wood required that we change the blade on our mitre saw about every 7 boxes to keep the cuts smooth. The bamboo is hard/durable but it is also flexible and it worked very well on one of our rooms that had uneven floors. If you get deep scratches they can really show but a dark stain furniture marker conceals them pretty well.

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

no instructions about care and cleaning of the product were included.

trim is much darker than floor color.
even if returned - color could not be guarenteed.
would match the trim before exiting the store.

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

It ended up that they guy we were going to borrow the nail from didn't support long enough nails. So instead we liquid nailed and hand nailed in the toungue and grove. It is never coming up lets put it that way. It is picture perect and I love the way it looks with our white trim. Our only concern is that when we went to go install the toilet one of the guys that was helping us had on a cast and it scratched the floor. It seems to scratch easily which is pretty noticable due to the dark color. As a benefit it can always be sanded and refinished so we aren't too worried about it. Since we do not yet have children time will only tell how long before we have to refinish it!

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

The floors are beautiful with a great finish, semi-matte - shine w/o being too shiny. The dark stain is dramatic, contemporary & has gotten many compliments already. Down-side - b prepared to sweep a lot as everything shows.

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

Nice Floors, easy to install and look great, only downside is that since the floors are dark dust and grime show up easily.

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

The color of the floor is beautiful and it looks great IN THE BOX.
The finish is so soft it scratches if you sneeze on it! Do not put this
in any area that has normal to high traffic. I'm so disappointed as
the floor was installed in our new home and damaged before moving in. It needs to be cleaned everyday as it shows everything.

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

This floor installed easily, and looks great. It will scratch though and shows everything. We still love coming home to the beautiful dark floors though.

Comments about Ty Pennington Bamboo 5/8" x 3-3/4" Sambuca Bamboo:

This wood as a slight reddish undertone. It looks almost black until sunlight hits it, then you can see the warmer undertone. We used it in our kitchen and love it. If you are a clean freak, beware that you can see every crumb that falls on this darker wood.
