I installed this floor by myself. I got a few pointers from a friend and installed 700 sq ft. in a weekend. Then finished the ends the next weekend. It hides subfloor imperfections. It is durable, but like any other wood floor you don't want to drop a hammer on it. It will dent, but not as bad as oak. For the price you can't beat this flooring.

It is a great finish, has a cool "cottage look" which was just what I wanted for my daughters bedroom. I would definately do it again.

My husband and I installed this floor in our son's room almost a month ago. It took us about 8 hours. We were so worried since neither of us had installed a floor before. It was really easy to install. After a month of a 2 1/2 year-old rough playing on it and 2 dogs scampering all over it the floor still looks like it did the day we put it in.
from stow, oh on 8/12/2008
I really liked the finished product. It took us longer than usual because we put it in the kitchen.

I recently bought my first house, and the entire house needed new flooring. I decided to install a bamboo floor in the entire house except the bathrooms and basement. It's been in for about a month, and it looks like a completely different house! It looks fantastic! The nailed installation was done by a Handyman I know, and he was finished with the entire 950 sq ft including the closets within 2 1/2 days, which was much faster than I expected. I LOVE the variation of color, as my floor has colors from really light yellow to the color the carmalized floor example shows. I didn't have all the painting completed before the floors were installed, but the paint drips can quickly and easily be removed with a damp cloth, and you can't even tell. I have been extra careful about scrapes due to reading other reviews, but so far so good. I have received nothing but compliments on my new floor, and have referred a couple of people to Lumber Liquidators for a new bamboo floor, including my handyman!

from East Peoria, IL on 8/5/2008
We laid the floor in our dining room. Previously we had carpet there. We had it finished in 7 hours!! My brother actually did the work (with my help, of course)It went down very easy. The doorways took a little more time to cut around, but overall it looks fantastic and it's "green"!!Now I want to continue it through the family room & kitchen.

It looks great and was easy to install
from Central KS on 8/1/2008
I converted a bedroom into an office and we went with the bamboo. The price is right. I have done hardwood before. I like installing bamboo because of the consistency of the pieces all being the same length. I like this Supreme because there is a little color variation. I think it makes a more interesting floor.
from Chicago on 7/30/2008
Great product especially for the price. A little scratch prone but easy to fix.
from Seekonk Ma on 7/28/2008
easy to install looks great
from Sonoma, ca on 7/28/2008
This is a really nice, clean looking wood. It is going in most of our house to offset the dark colored walls that we have. I love the light color of the floor.[...]

from Chesapeake VA on 7/19/2008
As a 50 yr old single mom I managed to put this in three bedrooms and a hall. I had no problems with cutting the wood, it did not splinter and was easy to work with. I had 25 boxes, 24 had the grooves cut the same and one box had the grooves cut the other way around which was a nuisance. It took me a weekend for each space, including pulling out the old carpet, cutting around doorposts and taking out baseboards (while doing laundry, groceries and cooking as well). I'm glad I also used the insulating underlayment under it to reduce the noise, it definitely makes a difference. Overall it was a doable job and I love the end result, definitely worth the price and the effort. The 10% extra I bought was not needed.

We had problems with a number of pieces that would fit together, however we do plan on purchasing about 3-4 more boxes. Thank for your concern.

from Central Point, OR on 7/6/2008
Installed in our closet quite easily. Used glue down with a bit of nailing to hold until dry. Live in a manufactured home, have to do glue down. Will be installing in the master bedroom within the next month.
We love it, cats aren't so sure. They preferred the carpet! Don't know how they will react when we install it in the bedroom.

it looks very nice, easy to clean. we are not happy with how easily it scratches. this color though does not show the scratches as easily as the darker kind.

from Saratoga Springs, NY on 6/25/2008
My boyfriend, who is a contractor, installed the Bamboo flooring throughout our home. It's eco-friendly which is a huge plus. Others complained about the wood being easily scratched, but I couldn't disagree more. I have 3 large dogs (80+ lbs), I clip their nails and they have not damaged the floor. I'm sure that if you drop something heavy on it, it would scratch or dent, but that would happen to any floor (I have Maple floors, too, and this is FAR more durable).
You can't beat the price, it will get a bit darker in areas as the sun hits it (but it looks pretty) and I can't recommend it enough! Excellent buy, easy to install, durable, and it's NOT easy to burn because it's so dense.

from Madison, WI on 6/9/2008
We just love the floor, yes the colors can be different from box to box but we always made sure we were using 3 different boxes at a time. It was easy to put in and would do it again.

from NY on 5/26/2008
It's easy to install and the finish looks great. I installed it in my 204 square foot bedroom with a nice area rug on top. It's a little soft, but that's expected with bamboo, so you have to be wise on where you install it. Make sure you put the felt pads on the bottom of the furniture legs, as you would with any hardwood. The Supreme Bamboo is a lot harder than the bamboo I was looking at from Home Depot and Lowes, and those two wanted $2 more a square foot. It's very easy to clean. Just pick up one of those hardwood dust mops from Walmart. They work like a charm. I've very happy with this product and would purchase it again. BTW...this is the first floor I every installed.

very good value for the money, looks very good. the only problem that I had is the colos were extremelly diferent from box to box, I expected some direfent color due to natural reasons on bambo, but I had some that were way dark.
I still bay again.

First time installer, not knowing anything. Once we "got the gist of it" it went pretty smooth. It looks wonderful, feels great, and added the "WOW" factor to our home. I already have the next project in mind and will be back. Thank you David in Scarborough, ME.

from South Carolina on 5/11/2008
[...]Out of 26 boxes only 2 planks were not used due to wood warp. It was beautiful when it came out of the box. The only (major) problem was that Bostiks Best Glue, which I installed it with, created a huge hard to clean mess. If you do not clean the glue as you go it cures very quickly and becomes extremely hard to remove! I had a difficult time finding a good recommendation for an adhesive remover and the first 2 products stripped the floor of it's lovely finish. Finally, I used Bostik adhesive removing towelettes from [...]. After about 30 hours of being on my hands and knees scrubbing and scraping off glue the floor looks decent again. Next time I will have a professional install my floors!

from Forest Park, IL on 4/24/2008
I love this flooring! Overall it's a durable product but I would recommend using furniture pads under heavy furniture items or items with sharper legs because they could leave slight indentations. I had it professionally installed. The installers were used to working with hardwood flooring but loved the bamboo so much they're going to install it in their own homes!
beatuiful flooring, great flooring the price! Only 18hrs to install 375sq ft start to finish
from martinsburg wva on 4/13/2008
beautiful product [$]
from Massachusetts on 4/11/2008
I installed myself the bamboo flooring into my bedroom. It looks wonderful. Beautiful floors. I havent had it long enough yet to see how durable it is but i hear it is very durable. I am going to be purchasing more of it to do 2 more bedrooms and our living room and dining room. The look is so great i want it throughout the rest of my house. Lumber liquadators is the cheapest place i found to purchase the material. Even with my discount through lowes it was cheaper. I would recomment it to anyone. i told a customer i had about how cheap it was here instead of my store. Thank you Lumber Liquadators.
from virginia beach, va. on 4/10/2008
I enjoyed putting the bamboo floor down, it looks great; we put it in the living, dining, and kitchen.
from Vineland, NJ on 4/10/2008
The room went from a low lit room with carpet to a room that allows the natrual light to shine through and lights the room all day long. it has made a dramatic improvement in the overall appearance of the room and we aren't even finished with the room yet. we are even going to put this into the other bedrooms because of how much brighter the rooms look. Outstanding buy and highly recommend [...] We will return to buy the other wood floors for the rest of our house as we replace all the floors.

Beautiful floor, lightens the room
from Indianapolis, IN on 4/3/2008
I looked all over the internet and in the stores to find a flooring close to what we got but couldn't. The price was great and the quality was super. I hadn't installed hard wood before in a house and found it easy to do. I suggest lumber liquidators to everyone.

This floor looks great in our bedroom. We plan to install it thoughout our upstairs area.
from phx az on 3/28/2008
well having done several floors in bamboo for friends i finally decided to get my own,
the price is fantastic and at 5/8" this is real flooring.
It went down really well, glue was a bit messy as always and expensive too, but over all installation was quite easy.
Planks take cutting well with no chips or damage from the saw blade.
Over all i would have to recommend this floor, its clean , bright , east to install hard wearing and so totally eco friendly.
from Bosque Farms, NM on 3/19/2008
We installed it in our game room, living room, dinning room, family room and breakfast room. It wasn't very hard to install and look beautiful. It lighten our home up with warmed and beauty. Thank you.
from aston, pa. on 3/17/2008
i actually used the hardwood flloring for a one-off bar-top. instead of ceramic tile , i opted for something different. it was a breeze to install and it looks spectacular.
from CANTON OHIO on 3/17/2008
THIS IS A VERY TOUGH PRODUCT. I WAS REALLY SUPRISED WHEN USING A FINISH NAILER ON THE BOARDS CLOSE TO THE WALL, SOME OF THE NAILS DID NOT GO ALL THE WAY IN. I WAS TOLD BY OTHER SALES PEOPLE THAT THIS PRODUCT WAS GARBAGE AND I WOULD BE REPLACING IT WITHIN 1 YEAR. THIS IS IN NO WAY A GARBAGE PRODUCT. I HIGHLY RECCOMEND THIS FLOORING TO ANYONE THAT IS LOOKING INTO BAMBOO.
from Lehigh Valley, PA on 3/17/2008
We really love the floor. It is bright and cheerful. The only down side is was very difficult to install. We installed it directly on concrete and it was extremely difficult to line up nicely. We ended up with a lot of gaps than we plan to fill eventually. Once we put the furniture in, most of the gaps disappeared and it looks beautiful. The finish is gorgeous and it is very easy to clean. All in all we are very happy with the floor!
from Pittsburgh, PA on 3/14/2008
I am extremely pleased with this engineered hardwood from price to installation to appearance it is top notch.
from Denver, CO on 3/13/2008
This flooring is unbelievably great for the price. My husband and I had it installed throughout the entire house, excluding bathrooms, kitchen and bedrooms. The result is a gorgeous finish that can be as cozy and as contemporary as we want. We cannot exclaim how ecstatic this has made us as new homeowners. This bamboo flooring has allowed us to have the hardwood look that we wanted while being able to maintain our budget and being sustainable at the same time. We love it so much that we are continuing it down into our finished basement.
from Carmichael, CA on 3/11/2008
Nice product but a bit fragile. Toungues splintered easily which caused a walking on eggshell effect with some areas. Other than that, happy with the product.
I would recommend to a friend but with caution.
from Providence, RI on 3/10/2008
I used this flooring in my living room and office; it is beautiful. The only problem I ran into is that I ran out of wood and needed another box about a week later; the lot colors were drastically different, not just slightly off, so the corner of one room looks a little strange. So I highly recommend overbuying! Also, the floor has a gouge in it already so be aware that it is fairly soft.
from Weaverville, N.C. on 3/7/2008
It was installed in the kitchen area- 14 x 13 1/2 area and just lights up the whole room. The picture does not do it justice at all to show the real beauty of the wood. I will be ordering more for another room soon. This was much easier to install than regular hardwood as it came in three foot sections and weren't hard to manage. My helper is a fireman and about halfway through had to leave to go on a fire call, so I completed the flooring myself. I love it and everyone that has seen it does also. Thank you!

from Kansas City MO on 2/24/2008
Bamboo flooring has made my house a home, it is warm and friendly, yet it blends in with the contemporary and modern furnishings. The real kicker is that we use it in the kitchen!
The only downside thus far is that it scratches easily.
from Rochester, NY on 2/23/2008
I used this product in a rehab 3 family rental unit. It looks great and was easy to install. This was easier to install than oak or cherry since all the boards were straight. No time wasted installing this product.
from Denver, Co on 2/22/2008
An enviromentaly friendly flooring at a great price
from Prudence Island, RI on 2/21/2008
Brightens up the room!
Because of lightness of wood, I would suggest putting down scatter rugs in high traffic areas, to limit dirt
from Albuquerque NM on 2/18/2008
Haven't had it in long enough to test durability.
A bit concerned about product darkening. While don't mind that it is--it seems to be lighter in some areas than others.

from Muskegon, MI on 2/4/2008
This floor turned out even better than we'd imagined. Our room with closet is 16 x 10 and needs a light finish to visually expand the room. We couldn't be happier with the results. We're especially happy with the register cover. It adds a custom look that greatly improves the room.There was VERY little waste. The cuts frayed a bit on occasion, but we easily used those pieces on outside edges, where they are now concealed by trim.Pieces were uniformly colored, straight and in excellent condition. We opted for this product with its 15 year warranty for our bedroom. We decided against a more costly product with a longer warranty. We'll see how it holds up.If you're doing the installation yourself, we recommend you let the rental agent know that you'll be installing bamboo instead of hardwood. The 5/8" adapter didn't work as well as we'd expected and caused a number of misfires. Luckily, we were able to salvage most of the boards. Very few split beyond use. Our only "con" was difficulty with the nail gun we rented.

from Orange County, CA on 9/22/2007
I have been living with this floor for about 18 months. A hammer dropped on the floor from about eye level (installing a kitchen cabinet) and left a dent, and a screw sticking out under a heavy TV cabinet left a scratch (my fault). Other than that the floor is holding up well, including the abuse from a small dog and a terrible two year old.
